I entered my local Sephora on a mission: procure a high-quality, high SPF, physical sunblock that’s also non-comedogenic.
When I asked an employee for some help in my search, I expected that she would need to mull it over. But no, she led me directly over to the Shiseido display without missing a beat. She raved over this SPF 55 formula for face and body, explaining that its consistency is light, it wears forever and wears beautifully under makeup. Just what the doctor ordered!
I plunked down $37 for a 3.3 oz. bottle and certainly haven’t regretted it. This sunscreen contains the active ingredients Octinoxate (a chemical sunscreen) and Zinc Oxide (a physical sunblock). Despite the high amount of physical sunblock used in the product, Shiseido’s Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion seemed to melt right into my skin. Makeup is easily applied over this sunblock, and its water-resistant formula ensures that you’re protected at the beach or during a workout. I have to be honest, there’s no "non-comedogenic" label on this product, but also must testify that I haven’t had any issue with clogged pores while using it!
This sunscreen is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, as it is extremely resistant to water and perspiration. It’s also great for the sensitive-skinned, as it is PABA-free!
