Thanks for the info, I’ve been looking for the best sunscreen ingredient and just found out that zinc oxide is the best. Could you tell me the list of sunscreen that has zinc oxide in it? and how about RoC? thanks in advance

Reapplying means we tend to load our skin with more of the ingredients; some of which may cause our skin to breakout. So it can be a problem with the sunsreen is heavy.

Cannot compare La Roche Posay and Marie Veronique because one is chemical and the other is natural, physical sunblock. Having said that, I suspect La Roche Posay might be more photostable though and I would use it for sports activities. Marie Veronique contains natural ingredients and could be more suitable for kids but not sure if they’ll like the smell though.

Do you find it not so good for the skin (esp with makeup on) if you keep reapplying suncreen?

Also, between La Roche and Marie Veronique, which is better for 1) adult combination skin and 2) kids?

Thanks!!

Im confused about the SPF to use. I have a SPF 70 lotion; will that be enough for the whole day? favcolorblue: No SPF can last you the whole day; you need to reapply every two hours or even shorter intervals especially if you're under the hot sun.
