My criteria for face sunscreen has always been - physical sunscreen that is non-greasy and non-sticky. Granted, I don't follow this mantra all the time, as I know its a arduous journey and sometimes you won't know it, until you try it, especially if you purchase the product online.
Made in France, Acorelle Face Sun Balm SPF30 is a new brand which I chanced upon recently. Free from parabens, phenoxyethanol, PEG, colouring agent, synthetic fragrances, nano particles, zinc and chemical filters, it is a physical sunscreen which uses titanium dioxide and Karanja oil to protect the skin from the sun rays. It also contains AOA, a patented antioxidant active ingredient that fights free radicals.
I have been using Acorelle Face Sun Balm SPF30 for more than 1 month on a daily usage. It is housed in a recyclable soft plastic pump tube with a clear cap that dispenses the sun balm with just 2 light depressions.
The sun balm has a light tropical scent that lingers for a short while before dissipating. As shown on the picture above, the balm, as the name suggests, has a slightly greasy texture that makes it difficult to spread out evenly on skin. I really dislike using it before my facial oil on combination skin because my skin appeared to be oily thereafter. Not a pleasant sight.
With a gel moisturiser, my skin still looks decent, but with make-up piled on, my skin turned oily after several hours.
On the packaging, the balm is written as recommended for normal to dry skin which I agreed whole-heartedly. If you have combination or oily skin, its best to skip this sun balm. You may end up looking like an oily wok.
To sum it up, Acorelle Face Sun Balm SPF30 is not a product which I would repurchase. For those with dry or normal skin, you may want to give it a try and share how it is for you.
