But for this product, it's also hard to use a moisturizer underneath cos it's already quite greasy. Serum is probably too light.

And you're right that chemical sunscreen offers more protection that their mineral counterparts. That's logical since they have more sunscreen active ingredients but some of these may cause free radicals as well. These days, if it's hot, I'll use double protection. Internal consumption of Heliocare and external application of sunscreen. That'll give me some peace of mind. Nope, no sunscreen offers 100% protection.

I think you need something more moisturising than that perhaps. I use Nuxe's 24 hour emulsion. Works fine. BTW I read someone used hydrating serum and essence before the sunblock and it didn’t work?

I used in on my kid's faces. Unfortunately the sun was blazing hot.Even after re-applying the kid's faces got dark. My son who did not re-apply had a bad sunburn on the face. Better to use chemical sunscreen I think for long hours and very hot sun. I'm more wary since that incident. Somehow feel less secure using it. So, now I've switched back to using La-Roche when I'm out the whole day. I also carry an SPF 20 foundation powder to put on when the sun is hot if I worry that the sunblock protection has worn off. Am looking for an SPF 30 powder that isn't drying. The Givenchy Blanc Parfait SPF 20 is quite good though but I want higher immediate protection when it's more convenient to use a powder than a sunblock. BTW even if I used a chemical sunscreen instead of UV-BSafe my kids would still tan. I also found my freckles got slightly darker (I was using a hat). I don't think any sunblock can totally protect you from the sun.But better use higher SPF if you are swimming. UV-BSafe is greasy on my face so I use a powder over it.
