Does anyone know where to get this MENTHOLATUM Acnes SPF 50+ sunblock?

Last time I get from a shop at heeren but that shop like disappeared le.

FireIce SG

i saw the Acnes range in guardian
but never notice whether got sunblock or not

Mimmy SG

Oh I've been using a sunblock of SPF 50+ one for my face.

But people has been telling me that it clogs pores easily.

FireIce SG

50+ shd be the max, even if u will be out the whole day......

anything more than that will clog pores and hard to remove

Fantagf SG

I have never used any sunblock or sunscreen on the face which does not cause oiliness.

Try the one FireIce posted.

Its Neutrogena dry Touch with helioplex.

BTW, I hope everyone here is aware that your sunblock should not be kept and used after a year.

Even the Neutrogena Dry Touch ones. They have helioplex that stabalise the sunblock qualities. It still not adviseable to keep and use them after a year.

FireIce SG

just bought this

Mimmy SG

I used this one before.

Quite oily for me, maybe it's cream type ba.

just bought this

I just finished this and have just switched to La Roche Posay Very High Protection 50+.

AVene is not bad.

La Roche (bottle form) - i like it as after applying it looks smooth and pores not so large as before. but i don't understand why is it single + when it is stated on the box it is UVB/UVA.

same oily on me, too. now I switched to la roche posay. when i tried la roche on my hand was pretty fine but bought it and apply on face is different.

got cream got tinted cream...... which are for very dry skin

mine is emulsion..... suppose to be not so oily one

Fantagf SG

i used the emulsion avene. anyway, different people different type of skin. I notice trying samples on hand for skin care is not a good choice, skin on hand and face are different.

when i used emulsion avene, my pores look bigger,now that i use la roche, pores are smaller.

FireIce SG

prevent expire

Fantagf SG

For the benefit of those who are using La Roche Posay Anthelios Sunblock fluid 50+ , there is latest product with higher protection 60 + (saw this from US website, not available in Singapore yet)

Sigh, just bought the promotion 50+ twin pack with free thermal water. so even if new product is available in sg, think it will take me a while to use it.

i rem when i was attending some lecture in NUS..

the lecturer acutally mentioned something quite interesting..

any spf higher than 50 or 60 cant rem, has actually not much significance in blocking out UV..

bottomline: those pple using 100/120/150 spf are actually having almost the same coverage as pple using spf 50/60 products..

FireIce SG

i think i read about tt somewhere too
and the higher the SPF, the more chances of pore-clogging

Heyz! I got question!

Since sunscreen/sunblock absorbs/deflects UVA/B rays, will one still get tann in the sun?

Cool-gal SG
