Stacey's Review-

After testing out the Medik8 Physical Sunscreen Spf 50+ for a couple of weeks now, I have nothing but good things to say, however, I found a couple of adjustments to the application that was more suited to me, I have quite dry, and sensitive areas of my face and I felt that this sunscreen suited my skin nicely for that purpose as it is quite a thick consistency. I found the sunscreen really moisturising so I didn't feel the need to use a separate moisturiser underneath it. It also did not exacerbate any sensitivity I have, and for that, I found really helpful as other sunscreens I have found to be quite irritating. The only adjustment I made was due to the thick consistency. I found the cream took a significant amount of rubbing in, to prevent a white cast, therefore I used less than the recommended amount of the product for an easier application that suited my skin. I will continue to use the Medik8 Physical Sunscreen as it is suited to the more sensitive skin I found it to be a good moisturiser as well.
