Best sunblock ever! [Posted on 2008-02-23] I am not kidding when I say that this sunblock changed my life! I am extremely pale (nordic, irish, german roots) with freckles and moles and I received a wake-up call when a dermatologist told me that I was basically headed for disaster if I didn't start taking care of my skin. Funny enough, I never tanned or sat on the beach, so I figured I was okay. But it was what I WASNT doing (wearing sunblock, hats, etc) that was hurting me. I had to have a total of 7 moles removed which thankfully turned me to a healthier view on taking care of my skin.
I tried many different kinds of sunscreen and sunblock and I was having trouble finding the perfect "facial" block. Total block is a little thicker than most, but I find that it blends in well and provides a mattifying effect on my super oily skin. I can see why some people balk at the color, but I think if you have a lighter complexion you won't have a problem.
Great Sun Protection and Feels Good Too [Posted on 2008-02-23] I have used Fallene Total Block Clear for years. It is the best facial sunscreen I've ever found, plus it's highly recommended by my dermatologist. Though during application it looks thick and slightly beige, on my fair/medium skin it dries almost invisibly, neither oily nor drying. It also gives a "finished" look to my skin, so that during the day, I often apply it and run, without using foundation. Most importantly, it contains titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, great barriers to skin-damaging UVA/UVB rays. Do your skin a favor and give it a try!
Only for serious sunblock [Posted on 2008-06-22] I received a sample of this product at a trade show a number of years ago. I have what you would call mild rosacea. If I get any type of over exposure to the sun my face really shows it. This product will totally stop this. Yes, it does have a film, but not like the lifeguards wear on their noses. If you apply it sparingly in a thin layer and massage it in, it will blend in well. It does not take much to offer you complete protection. If you have mild rosacea it will actually lighten up your skin a tad, and for many of us this is not totally undesireable. I only use it on my face and ears which are problem areas for me. I enjoy the outdoors (Cancun vacations, fishing, hiking, working in the garden) without worry that my face will turn beet red and remain that way for days or weeks to come. I use this product regularly, and would not be without it when I travel or if intend to be outdoors.
White face paint? [Posted on 2008-07-23] I bought this sunscreen at the insistance of my mother who was just diagnosed with skin cancer on her face. I am naturally quite tan and she is not. So after applying it I looked like I had a significant chalky hue to my face and my face was much whiter than my neck and arms. It did not "sink in" no matter how much I tried to rub it in. It did not apply well on my kids faces either. So I gave that to my mom. I switched to Neutrogena Ultra Sheer dry touch SPF 70. It works very well with all of us and was recommended by my dermatologist. I did also buy Fallene Cotz SPF 58 (a slight deal if you buy it together with Total Block) and it also does not rub in but I will use it on my kids until it runs out since it doesn't burn their eyes.
One of the best against the sun, but too "white" [Posted on 2008-09-07] I had tried everything in the market. Not only because I have fair skin, but because I am suffering Melasma over my mouth and cheeks. This had been the ONLY sunscreen that maintain my skin without worsen my Melasma. I use this one when I will not use make up. Because is too white and you have to wait until is really dry to be able to use make up, if not you will end with a 'mess'. The other one with a little tint, although has less SPF contains zinc and TD which are the best ingredients against sun damage.
