Con's:
1)Despite its claims that it suits "all skin types",it is highly comedogenic hence not suitable for oily and acne prone skin.
2)Availability is an issue as of now.
Directions for use:
Apply sunscreen of face/body 20 minutes before stepping outside in the sun.Re-apply if necessary.
Availability:
Inveda products are available in cosmetic stores.
As of now it is only available online on Purplle.com.
I will update links as and when I get to know.
Final Verdict:
Okay I had a lot of hopes for Inveda products.But this one broke me and it is comedogenic so not suitable for oily and acne prone skin.But honestly I quite liked the texture of sunscreen gel.It absorbs into the skin without any white cast.Folks with Normal-dry skin types would find it more suitable as this is moisturising sunscreen.As of now availability is an issue,I don't like to shop on Purplle.com,but it was the only site it was available.But surprisingly they delivered in a week.
