Lancaster Sun Sensitive Invisible Compact Face Cream SPF50+ 9g

Not really impressed with this...is very thick as consistency, hard to apply. If you manage is whiteish and leaves on traces. Trying to layer something on top - no go. Back to much better options (as Dr. Sam).

Bought this as I burnt a little patch of my forehead that clearly catches the sun more than anywhere else and I wanted something to carry with me that I could use to top up the SPF on those more exposed parts of my face if I was out and about. I am quite oily so spray on SPFs post-makeup just melt everything off but this is just what I needed. I am very pale - hence the burn through my usual SPF so this was a good match shade wise but if you already have even a slight tan or darker-skinned then I would defo avoid it in favour of something clear. Actually really pleasantly surprised as it's a little bit mattifying/colour correcting and that's not really what I bought it for. That said, I wouldn't use it as makeup or as a base - only a top-up. The product pay-off isn't heavy, which might worry you if you were using it as your only SPF but as a top-up, it's really ideal.

The consistency is thick. It doesn't pick up on the sponge well. Feels like none of the product goes on your face and can't be worn over make up and it just rubs it off

although I’m very fair skinned this was still too pale for me. It’s quite a creamy formula and as soon as I started getting hot felt like it was sliding off my face. Very disappointed I’ve wasted my money.
