Since the drama with K Beauty SPF creams I've wanted to explore European brands and their sunscreens when in a drugstore I cake Across Sun dance SPF 50+ Sensitiv Sonnenfluid. ✨
🌟 Size: 50ml
🌟 Price: Around 5€
🌟 Available at: Dm Drogerie Markt
🌟 Suitable for: All skin types even Sensitive skin ✨
Waterproof | Vegan 🌱 | Without Octocrylene | Fragrance free | Alcohol free | Essential Oils free
🌟Main Ingredients:
This sunscreen provides a very good range of UVA+UVB filters for a very affordable price. It's a mixed sunscreen meaning that it combines mineral and chemical filters.
✨ Glycerin= humectant, keeps moisture
✨ Titanium Dioxide= mineral filter
✨ Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate= chemical filter
✨Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid= chemical filter
🌟 Consistency:
It Has a very Nice lotion like texture that is very easy to apply and blend into your skin. There is a typical white color to it (that is very common with mineral sunscreens) that can give you a white cast if not blended thoroughly and a typical chemical smell. I'm not offended by it but since it doesnt contain aby fragrance, the ingredients natural scent is brought Up.
🌟 Whitecast? Breakouts? Burning?
For me, this sunscreen doesn't create any white cast, it sinks into the skin very well (I do have quite a pale skin with cold undertones though) if I blend it Well. If not, IT Can crumble and create white patches Around the areas where your skin is dry. So if you have a dry skin type I would suggest to moisturizer, wait a bit and then Apply the sunscreen.
However, It does leave a bit of an oily look. I dont feel like there is an oily layer sitting on my skin, but at the end of the day, it definitely is a bit shiny. Which again, I dont mind and tell myself it's just a glow. ✨😂
It didnt cause me any breakouts or burning, neither on the skin itself nor in the eyes.
🌟Final Thoughts:
I really really like this sunscreen. In Europe IS very accessible, very affordable and provides you with a great protection throughout the day. This only shoes that you dont have to spend so much money for a similarly formulated sunscreen. Even drugstore sunscreens work Well and if you can't here your hands on Korean sunscreens this IS a very good option.
🌟5/5🌟
One thing that could be considered a downside is the chemical smell that it Has and the fact that it makes your face look shiny. I wouldnt recommend this for people with very oily skin even though I have a Combination to Oily and I think it works Well for me.
I may look shiny but I really dont mind when All I care about IS the protection it gives me. 🙈✨
