Its been a while since I had a good ol’ rant at a product. Uhoh, I hear you think – does not bode well for this does it?
Yes ladies, I present to you the cause of my cystic acne breakouts – not once, not twice, but THREE times!
The story starts this way. I have my favourite sunscreens, but I’m always in the market for something new. And for some reason, my eye kept getting drawn to the ROC Minesol Triple Defense sunscreen. That’s the trouble with reading online reviews – I keep coveting something new all the time and for some reason, this particular sunscreen seems to be raved about mostly because it has what it says – Very High Protection from both UVA and UVB rays.
Why Triple Defense? Because this one contains Titanium Dioxide, Tinosorb S and M, Avobenzone and Octocrylene. Basically, this cream covers you from every end of the spectrum and back again.
Thing is, ROC skincare is pricey and this one is no exception. I believe it retails at RM80+ for a 50ml tube. But one day, while in Penang, I saw this going at only RM54.90 so I snapped it up. Still pricey, mind you, but a discount softens the blow.
