Review: ZO Skin Health OCLIPSE Sunscreen + Primer SPF 30

September 23, 2009 Paris B 23 Comments

Remember me moaning about how my skin hates zinc oxide? Well, apparently I’ve now found a sunscreen product that contains Zinc Oxide (and Titanium Dioxide) that does not irritate my skin, is a gorgeous primer and makes my skin feel wonderful! Glory Hallelujah!

Problem: It costs RM370/30ml *whimper*

zo skin health oclipse sunscreen

This product is ZO Skin Health Oclipse sunscreen and primer. I was given a 15ml sample to try and you know, that’s the downside about trying all these wonderful stuff – when I actually know the price of the product, I go all pale and get the shakes from the shock.

But yes, I’ve been slapping on the ZO Skin Health Oclipse sunscreen for about 2 months now and its been very good. The sunscreen is lightly tinted – nothing dramatic, but just enough to even out skin tone.

I love the packaging – the way the nozzle swivels out as you turn the cap – its so hygienic and sleek!

The texture is velvety smooth and as a primer, its outstanding. If I apply this in the mornings, my foundation (whether liquid or powder) goes on like a dream… and stays that way! No oilies at all. But yes its silicone based as with most primers so do take note if you are sensitive.

zo oclipse

As a sunscreen, its broadspectrum and contains SPF30 with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide as its active blockers. I have dryish skin but this does not dry me out at all. Its supposed to contain antioxidants to fight free radicals but since its going on at a molecular level, I can’t tell if it works. I can say that its not making my freckles any darker so something must be working.

All I know is that this is an amazing sunscreen + primer combination that I’d love to keep in my skincare/makeup routine. I’ll pinch my pennies for this one 😉

Pros: Excellent primer, Does not make skin oily nor clog pores, Makes skin feel velvety smooth, Broadspectrum sunscreen

Cons: Expensive for many

ZO Skin Health is named after its founder Dr. Zein Obagi and there is a whole range of ZO Skin Health skincare for anti-aging which is supposed to help skin heal itself. I haven’t tried the rest of the products but if Oclipse is anything to go by, its going to be pretty awesome too!

ZO Skin Health is available at Parkson Pavilion, Metrojaya Mid Valley Megamall, Escentials Tangs Pavilion, Escentials Urban Retreat at Starhill Pamper Floor, Parkson KLCC, Parkson Bandar Utama, Parkson Penang Gurney. If you’re in the area, drop by and test Oclipse out for yourself and come back and tell me if you like it. 🙂

Off to the hospital…

I’m off to see the doctor. I stubbed my toe last week and although the bruising is gone, its still hurting and looks weird. I’m convinced its either dislocated or severely twisted so I’m finally going to see the doctor to figure out what the problem is. I need to be able to wear shoes and walk for miles pronto! Or I’d be in trouble.

I just hope they don’t tell me its to be amputated 😛

Stay beautiful,

Paris B

    Hey Paris! Am really happy you’ve fallen in love with it too! Really good product, but painful price tag … sigh … on another note – hope your toe feels better after the hospital visit – take care!

      Hey Yani

      I know! I nearly fainted at the price but it makes my foundation go on so smooooth! My toe’s fine apparently – looks fine on the Xray anyway Thanks! 😀

    Hi PB, I do hope that amputation will NOT be an option! By the way, I am looking for a good sunscreen and this review came at the right time. You mentioned that the product is slightly tinted – I must try this out at the counters to see if it alters the look of my foundation.

      Hi JackieA

      Thankfully amputation was not discussed 😉 The product is very lightly tinted but goes on the skin colourless. If anything, I find it helps my foundations go on smoother and more even – I look flawless! Sigh…

    very hefty price tag indeed! even more expensive than La Mer O_O but if it works, it works! 😀 at least it doubles as a tinted moisturizer too

      You’re right. If it works, it works! Its pretty awesome stuff but I can see why its not mainstream 🙂

    “fainted” after seeing the price tag. I am positive you will find a dupe sooner or later, I will wait for that. Good luck at the doctor’s, I am sure no amputation is needed!

      Hiya Reese

      So did I m’dear! I’ll look out for a dupe though I’m thinking its going to be hard to dupe this one! The results were ok – no amputation – I had to prepare for the worst 😉

    Glad to hear amputation’s out of the topic for u 🙂
    I seriously am in shock at the price…wowser! But some great things in life come at a very high price I’m afraid…need to either strike a lottery(or two) to get this baby then! (i can’t seem to save, i’m attracted to things easily!)

    That is very steep for 30ml SPF30 sunscreen! And I thought Dior and Chanel were expensive ^^;; With that said I would definately try it if someone gives me a free bottle(hint hint) and then discover I couldn’t live without it and just splurge away… sighs…
    Anyhooo, my best wishes and prayers to your toe. Hope it recovers soonest.

      Hi Saintangelius

      Thanks! I’m so tempted to splurge too but am waiting to see if I can just finish up the rest of my sunscreens first haha… SPF30 is still a little light for everyday for me.

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜

Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
