What makes me not hate all that scorching heat and humidity when I commute to school? A functional sunblock that eliminates piling up too much stuff on the face!
My current fave, since my face is starting to oil up like crazy with the heat, ---- the Lab 46 Tinted Moisturizer! Label says it has plant-derived placenta and collagen. Interesting...

| Lab46 Tinted Sunblock, 500php got it from my derma's clinic (Doc Six Foronda) |
- goes smoothly on my oily skin
- absorbs fairly quick
- SPF 45
- no breakouts
- acts as a primer to keep facial oil at bay (this sunblock may be too drying in the cooler months)
- does not leave the skin sticky nor sweaty (in comparison to MOST bb creams which act as functional sunblocks, too)

| Battle of the SPF's: Lab 46 SPF 45, Neutrogena SPF 50, Hamilton SPF 80 |
Just watch out for the scent. It didn't tickle my fancy albeit bearable. Also, this does not result to a full coverage tint... it just evened out my skintone.

To conclude, I love it and I'm using it alternately with my Hamilton SPF 80 sunblock!
this is such a cute product, i love the color pink and it looks really moisturizing. can you please check out my makeup blog too when you have a moment?

REALLY interesting! The color is also really striking in the container :) Vegetal Placenta sounds really interesting! I dont believe I've seen that ingredient anywhere else.
ReplyDeleteIs is just me or it's really pink? :P It works for oily skin? I wanna try it! And it's pink. :P You're really hiyang with Doc Six and her products.
ReplyDeletehey, i'm soooooo interested in that tinted moisturizer! do u know where can i find that in indonesia? or maybe you can buy that for me? tee heee :D

ReplyDeletehonestly, i don't feel like it moisturizers... it more of mattifies. if you have dry skin, applying a lightweight moisturizer is a must prior to sunblock :)
your blog looks promising! I love the photos and the great content that goes with it. keep it up!

ReplyDeleteIt is, isn't it? I was a bit skeptic at first, especially with how weird it smelled when i first opened it, but it delivered big time!
We have a terribly hot and humid weather in the Philippines so this is a huge help for my oily skin...

ReplyDeleteIt IS Pink :) I'm really happy that I'm under the care of a passionate derma and she's got a wide array of topicals that mostly work for me.
I'm not hiyang with Doc Six Foronda's toner, though. I love her retinoic acid, glowing solution, super brightening cream, acne solution and sunblocks (both cream and gel types)!

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if a similar product exists in Indonesia. If you know a cheap and efficient courier that ships from my country to yours, I'll buy one for you :D LOL
