You know by now that I\u2019m into sunscreens yes? You didn\u2019t? Well now you know \ud83d\ude42 So when Kiehl\u2019s asked if I might like to try their new Ultra Light Daily UV Defense<\/strong> with SPF50 PA+++ UVA rating <\/strong>I said yes \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The new Kiehl’s Ultra Light sunscreen is just as it says. The texture is ultra ultra light! It looks like a white cream but applies like a gel sliding onto the skin easily and does not leave the skin oily. Not. At. All.<\/p>\n There is high SPF50 rating for protection against UVB rays that burn and PA+++ to protect against UVA rays that age the skin. I’ve come to expect these conditions as de rigueur <\/em>in any sunscreen I purchase or will even deign to look at. I’m very fussy about my sunscreens.<\/p>\n For those who are fussy about the type of sunscreen they use, it should be noted that the Kiehl’s UV Defense sunscreen is a chemical sunscreen with L’Oreal patented Mexoryl chemical uv blockers. There is also Titanium Dioxide included but the primary blocker is Mexoryl XL so if you are sensitive to either, nows the time to stop reading.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Unlike other Mexoryl based sunscreens (L’oreal UV Perfect<\/a>, Lancome UV Expert) this Kiehl’s UV Defense sunscreen is less oily. It in fact feels a bit like the Vichy UV Activ sunscreen<\/a> a comparison I will come back to in a bit.<\/p>\n The cream is not thick and feels quite moisturizing on the skin. I will not recommend you to use it on its own. Like all sunscreens, it should go on the skin last after you have applied moisturizer.<\/p>\n
