For an ethnic lady who has been using sunscreen since the age of 14 and I am now 35, I think its safe to say that I have tried and tested, many sunscreens on the block .
This one in particular, I bought when my budget was not budgeting and the coin was low, and I did not enjoy it at all. I found it to be a bit heavy for my face and it pulled that blue tint thing on me, and I was like noooooooo.
The minute I got money , I stopped using it on my face, started using on my arms and legs...and I got some real sunscreen for my face. I just couldnt.
This is one of the most convenient sun care products I have ever bought. It does not clash with the preapplied body lotion. Does not change the appearance of your skin. Eg. From normal to oil. It is indeed effective.The consistency of the product is also great not to thick or runny. It's just right so I highly recommend it.
Derm Opal is one of the best, affordable sunscreens that is dark-skin friendly and black-owned. I have been using it for many years since Dr. Leslie Nteta, the dermatologist and founder recommended it.
I have oily combination skin but I can use it without any side effects. I use it a day moisturizer...When you initially apply it, it leaves a white cast but with a few seconds of rubbing in...the cast disappears and it leaves a after glow not grease.
I have been repurchasing and recommending it to anyone who would listen. Such a good product!
feels good on the skin and its a good spf, as a dark skin girl i can say it does initially give your face a purple tint which eventually fades , just rub it in real good.
Has to be the best sunscreen I have tried to date.
I am dark skinned and it doesn't leave my face grey or purple like other brands.
Sometimes I wear it on top of my moisturiser or as my moisturiser. It works well either way.
My skin feels protected and I haven't had any lasting pigmentation since I've been using it. In conjunction with the rest of my skin care regimen, my dark marks are fading bit by bit.
It isn't mattifying so if you're on the oily side, just look out for that.
