Hello once again Dearies !

                             As promised I am back with another sunscreen review .Without adding any drama I shall proceed to the matter at hand .Today I shall be reviewing  Lotus herbals safe Sun UV Screen Matte Gel SPF 50 .

The Tube from the front
                                                    


 Price --Rs 295 /- for  50 gms pack .It is easily available at drug stores , cosmetics counters and online .

What Lotus Herbals says --A gel based sunscreen that’s so light that it almost vanishes from your skin and leaves a never before matte feel. Especially for oily skin. 


Active Ingredients -- Comfrey (Symphytum Officinale) ,Sebum Control Vanilla (Vanila Plamifolia) ,Soothing Horse Chestnut (Trapa Bispinosa),UV Protector


The back of the tube 
                                  
The Packaging --It comes in an orange flip top tube and it is easy to dispense the product in the required quantity .The seal is tight so it is  travel friendly .
How to use --To be applied about twenty minutes before stepping out in the sun on all exposed body parts .To be reapplied after two hours .

The product--It is a milky looking gel .Absorbs fast and feels completely non sticky .The sun protection and anti- tan protection provided is very good .Has a balm like soothing property on application .
The gel on application
                     

The PROS

1. Ultra soothing ,skin feels moisturized and supple .

2. Matte look ,does not make the face oily .

3. Oil controlling - over the period of wear,it also avoids the skin from getting greasy which was  a major concern with some other sunscreens .

4. Gel based sunscreen ,since it is not creamy , it does not leave  a painted surface behind . It gets absorbed very fast in a few gentle strokes .Nobody can guess that you are wearing sunscreen !

5. Good  two  hours  plus of sun protection after which you need to re-apply .

 6. Travel and pocket friendly .

After blending completely
                                

The CONS 

1. The only con can be that it is not waterproof so sweating will reduce the efficacy of sun  protection .


The Final Verdict -- I would rate it a  4.5 / 5 .


To summarize ,it is a great sunscreen for all skin types .It protects , soothes, mattifies and controls oil .That is a multi-functioning product for you at the price of one product !!!
