Aqualogica Glow plus Sunscreen

Description

The Aqualogica Radiance+ Dewy Sunscreen is a popular sunscreen known for its lightweight, non-sticky formula and dewy finish. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:

Key Ingredients & Benefits:

• Watermelon: Rich in antioxidants and citrulline, it provides cooling, ultra-hydrating properties and helps regulate excess oil production, contributing to a glowing complexion.
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A radiance-boosting ingredient that helps visibly minimize enlarged pores, improve skin tone, fade acne marks, reduce blemishes, and lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It can also help control excess oil.
• Hyaluronic Acid: A gold standard for hydration, it binds water to skin cells, deeply moisturizes, and helps repair the skin’s moisture barrier, leading to plump, healthy, and soft skin.
• Titanium Dioxide: A well-known UV filtering ingredient that blocks the absorption of UV rays, protecting the skin from damage and sunburn. Other UV filters like Suncat DETM, Parsol TX, Ethylhexyl Triazone, and Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate are also listed, indicating broad-spectrum protection.

Protection:

• SPF 50+ and PA++++: Provides high-level protection against both UVA and UVB rays, preventing sun tanning and damage.
• Broad Spectrum Protection: Shields skin from a wide range of UV radiation.
• Blue Light Protection: Offers protection against harmful blue light emitted from screens, which can contribute to premature aging.
• Anti-Pollution Factor (APF): Some descriptions mention an APF that shields the skin from environmental pollutants like dust, smoke, and city grime.

Texture and Finish:

• Lightweight and Non-Sticky: It’s designed to be fast-absorbing and feel light on the skin without leaving a greasy residue.
• No White Cast: A common concern with sunscreens, this one claims to leave no white cast, making it suitable for all skin tones.
• Dewy Finish: Leaves a radiant, dewy look on the skin.

Suitability:

• Fragrance-Free and Color-Free: Minimizes potential irritants, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
• Suitable for All Skin Types: While many oily/combination skin users praise it for its non-greasy feel and oil-controlling Niacinamide, it also contains hydrating ingredients that can benefit dry skin.
• Teen-friendly: Can be used by teenagers.

Application:

• Apply on clean face, neck, and other exposed areas.
• Reapplication is recommended every 6 hours for effective protection.

Price:

Prices vary depending on the size of the product and retailer, but generally, for a 50g pack, it can range from around ₹380 to ₹720 in India and Nepal. Larger sizes (80g) and multipacks are also available.

Reviews:

Overall, reviews are generally positive, with many users praising its lightweight texture, lack of white cast, and dewy finish. It’s often recommended for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types. Some users with dry skin might find it slightly less moisturizing on its own and may prefer to use it with a moisturizer. There are a few mixed reviews regarding its effectiveness in preventing tanning for prolonged sun exposure, with some users reporting tanning despite religious application. Some users have also reported issues with the pump mechanism.
