I picked up this new brand, located in Ion Orchard, when there was a tube swap promotion during the Great Singapore Sale where you get 50% off a similar item so long you bring your own brand of product in the same category.
The promoter recommended this lightweight, high performance sunblock for face and body usage that can be used as extreme protection under extreme outdoor conditions.
VMV HYPOALLERGENICS™ is the only brand to validate its hypoallergenicity: the VH-Rating System (an original VMV skinnovation) is based on objective, independent references for allergens: the North American Contact Dermatitis Group + European Surveillance System on Contact Allergies.
For this product, with a VH-73/76*, it would meant it contains 3 common allergens. Find the asterisk on the ingredients list and you’ll find which ingredient is the allergen and that would be Methylparaben, Propylparaben and Tocopheryl Acetate.
If you have a history of skin sensitivity, choose products with the highest VH-Rating.
Note : on the product packaging, it was stated to have VH-74/76*, with Methylparaben and Tocopheryl Acetate as the allergens.
For a SPF 70 product, I was surprised that the texture is light and non-greasy, despite having a creamy texture. Even though a SPF 70 does not effectively block 100% of the sun rays ( nothing does ), it gives a better sense of protection as most people under apply it.
It neither left a white cast on skin nor has any sunscreen scent. With a smooth glide due to its soft, skin-coating silicones, the skin stays comfortable without any stickiness. I prefer to use it on the arms and hands as it has this tiny nitty-gritty bits. Its not alot, but its there.
UV exposure (UVA + UVB ) from the sun increases the risk of skin cancer, premature skin aging and other skin damage so its highly recommended to get a broad spectrum sunblock that is effective against both UVB (skin-burning) and UVA (skin-aging) rays.
In this sunblock, impressive PFAs ( protection against UVA ) are combined with SPFs ( protection against UVB ) as high as 70-90 to effectively screen out UVA and UVB rays for active protection against sun-induced skin cancer, photoaging and hyperpigmentation.
I am confused on its 100% Dye-Phthalate-PABA-Free statement though, because in its list of ingredients, it still contains a number of parabens namely Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Propylparaben and Isobutylparaben.
It scored 3.3 from 4 users on Makeupalley.
