Vichy Aqualia Thermal UV Defense Moisturizer is a lightweight daily moisturizer that keeps skin wonderfully hydrated while offering a broad spectrum SPF 30. This all-in-one SPF moisturizer has a high enough SPF that I do not feel the need to use another sunscreen, but I do have to reapply it every 80 minutes as I would with a regular sunscreen. This is a chemical sunscreen– using Avobenzone 3%, Homosalate 5%, Octisalate 5% and Octocrylene 7%– therefore, if you prefer physical sunscreens then you probably won't want to use this French Pharmacy favorite.
This lotion is non-sticky, it leaves behind no white residue and it leaves skin radiate, soft, smooth and protected. It does have a light, nondescript, aroma, but it does fade quickly.According to Vichy,
A lightweight, daily SPF 30 moisturizer providing long lasting 48 hour dynamic hydration and broad spectrum protection from harmful UVA / UVB rays, which can cause skin damage and premature skin aging.
Aqualia Thermal UV Defense Moisturizer SPF 30 Sunscreen provides 48 hour dynamic hydration, smoothed fine lines, and daily protection from harmful UVA/UVB rays.

This oil-free, refreshing lightweight texture glides easily over skin without stickiness. Skin appears less tired, leaving a healthy looking radiance. Paraben-free, oil-free, and non-comedogenic.

I know chemical sunscreens wear so much better under makeup, but I do prefer physical personally.
ReplyDeleteThey definitely do wear better, but I tend to prefer mineral sunscreens as a general rule as well. This is a really good chemical sunscreen, though!
DeleteThis always gets such high ratings. It sounds like it's so effective.
ReplyDeleteIt really is an excellent moisturizer/sunscreen.
