Vichy Capital Soleil Ultra-Fluid Sun Protection SPF 30 Review
Hey Everyone!
I have been using a new sunscreen over the warmer months and have fallen in love with it. I have very sensitive skin and most sunscreens break me out. This is the first sunscreen that has not resulted in acne all over my face. I am a firm believer that sunscreen is an essential component of both good skin and skincare. Nothing is worse than trying to cover acne during a hot summer day because all that hard work will just simply melt away.
I purchased this Vichy sunscreen at my local London Drugs for $25 (before tax). The cosmetician there suggested this would be best for my skin. As mentioned before, I have sensitive skin that leans towards more combination, especially during the summer. I was in need of a lightweight formula that would layer nicely under makeup and ultimately have no acne as a result of application. I had read that chemical sunscreens were not best for sensitive skin; I was suggested to purchase a sunscreen with physical sunscreens, such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.

Pros:
- formula was lightweight
- layered nicely under makeup
- soothed acne
- great primer for makeup
- long wearing
- did not cause any acne breakout
- unscented
- wore well during a hot day
- never greasy on face
Cons:
- expensive compared to cheaper alternatives but worth every cent

Overall, I would highly recommend this product to anyone, especially if you have sensitive skin. It is worth all the money. It is better to invest in good skin care and save on makeup; without good skin, no matter how good the makeup is, it just will not appear as flawless.
