Like all good makeovers, they just improved what’s on the outside and kept the good stuff on the inside.
I’ve noticed that the Vichy sunscreens have recently been on sale at my local drugstore and I thought they were just clearing them out for the summer, but it turns out that they’re making room for the bottles with this nice new look. The Vichy Capital Soleil sport sunscreen is maybe my favourite so I’m glad that the formula hasn’t changed. This is a very light and refreshing-feeling sunscreen, and the lotion almost feels like a gel when you apply it. Because it’s water and sweat resistant (it’s illegal to label sunscreens as waterproof in Canada), it works especially well if you’re active and worried about making the sunscreen run into your eyes. I actually prefer to use this sunscreen year round and on my face as well because it goes on so easily, and of course it is clear.
The Ultra-Light Face Lotion is runny and great under makeup, so that’s the one that I use daily, but the sport version is what I go for on the weekend.
If you’re looking for a good niacinamide serum, the B3 serum might be for you, and it has a watery texture that makes it suitable under any type of moisturizer or sunscreen. This serum has B3 (a version of niacinamide), tranexamic acid, and glycolic acid. All three of these ingredients help with repairing the discolouration of skin tone, and the fact that they’re in low concentrations but in one formula means that you get treatment from different angles but hopefully without as much irritation.
As always, I’m here for your sunscreen recommendations, so drop yours below. What’s on your counter right now, and what are you going to get?
Does the Ultra Light face lotion leave a white cast?? I love Vichy sport body SS and now that the Asian sunscreens are getting harder to find here in Toronto, I would like to try Vichy’s/)
No, I thought it was fine. The mineral ones do though, so I avoid those.
