Sandiva Tinted Sunblock with Zinc Oxide |Broad Spectrum SPF 35 PA++++ |Lightweight Mineral Sunscreen |No White Cast| Water & Sweat Resistant |For All Skin Types |Tint 11 - for Lighter Indian Skin |40g

Used it at my Dubai trip to safeguard from hot sun. It did really work well for me. Doesn't make my skin look dry or oily or white patched. 5 stars👍

I have fungal acne (very commonly misdaognosed as regular acne) and it's a nightmare to find products that suit me. Especially suncreen. I was using ZBlock earlier, but since it contains silicon oil and fragrance (both of which are a big no for FA), I had to switch.Pros:Fungal acne safe100% physical/mineral blockersIron oxides to protect from blue light and IRCompletely oil-free & fragrance-freeLovely texture that blends well without pillingMinimal ingredientsAdequate amount of the active ingredient, i.e Zinc Oxide (which should be at least 25% to give any real protection - for now 24% will do).Cons:Requires double cleansing to completely come off (but I suppose that helps in providing long-lasting protection)Could have had 25% or above Zinc Oxide to make it SPF50I live in the mountains with drier climate, so I suppose I can't say how it'll look on my skin in humid places like Goa or Bombay. But what I can say is that I love soaking up the sun and I'm outdoors most of the day, and this sublock has definitely helped reduce both tanning and breakouts (I never reapply, but use 1 thin line the length of my index finger for my face). Finish-wise, it provides minimal to medium coverage as a foundation and the tint is meant more to minimize the white cast that mineral sunscreens have. It's more like a very light bb cream with great sun protection, and definitely the best in the market for fungal acne. 4/5 would recommend.

After using this sunscreen multiple times over the course of a year, I have mixed opinions about it. Here are the pros and cons in detail:Pros:* This sunscreen is effective at its job. It is a mineral sunscreen containing 24% zinc oxide, a decent percentage to block harmful sun rays. I didn't get sunburn or excessive tanning after spending a few hours outdoors.* Doesn't leave much of a white cast as it is tinted and available in different shades.* It works like a foundation with a primer, making the skin smooth and matte finish.* Free from artificial fragrances, but it has a pleasant sandalwood scent due to its ingredients.Cons:* This sunscreen is available in only four shades. None of the shades matches my skin tone exactly. I chose shade 22, which is the closest, but it makes my skin look a bit orangish. It will be better if the brand introduce more shades for Indian skin tones.* Over time, the zinc oxide and iron oxides oxidise and make my skin look dull.* I find it bit pricey for the quantity of the product.

Does not give white cast, gives extremely mild medium coverage. For the quantity of product the cost is extremely high. It is a dry touch sunscreen. I’m not able to make out whether the sunscreen protects me from tanning.

It's not matte finish.. can say it's less glossy..

Smells odd and sticky ... Good if you want oily look

1st impression was that the formulation looked very similar to reequil tinted sunscreen but after a day the formulation became fluid almost like a foundation or skin tint which maybe due to heat but the formula is good like didn't separate or anything just to clarifyhowever I mix it with the innisfree no sebum sunscreen as I like my sunscreen to give just a slightly thicker coverage and this sunscreen is literally like a skin tint as it actually gives some amount of coverage but is super lightconsistency wise the order will besandiva one done sunblock < innisfree no sebum sunscreen < reequil zinc tinted sunscreenall the above are mineral sunscreens but sandiva and reequil are tinted zinc based sunscreensI was overall satisfied with this product although a little more shades would be great and maybe make the consistency just a bit more matte as this sunblock is literally satin skin like finish
