Hi Guys,
I wasn't religious with sunscreen until I tanned badly so since then I have included sunscreen in my regime.Recently I picked up a new sunscreen so today I will be reviewing Dr.Reddy's Shadowz SPF 30 Sunscreen Lotion.Read along to find out more about it.

Product Description & Swatches:
Pro's:
1)It contains shea butter,glycerin hence a moisturising sunscreen so doubles up as moisture and sunscreen.
2)It is Broad spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen,provides protection from both UVA and UVB sun rays.
3)It contains Vitamin E which is anti-oxidant.
4)Fragrance-free.
5)It is suitable for normal-dry skin types.
6)Hygienic packaging.
Con's:
1)Though it claims be non-oily/oil-free sunscreen,it makes skin very oily post application.
2)It is highly comedogenic so it will not suit Oily-acne prone skin.
3)Expensive.
4)It contains parabens,alcohol.
5)It is not water-proof or sweat proof.
Directions for use:
Apply sunscreen 20 minutes prior to stepping outside.Reapply after 2-3 hours.
Final Verdict:
I had high hopes from Dr.Reddy's Sunscreen though it fulfills its job of a sunscreen, it makes skin very oily.This sunscreen works best for dry skin types only.The price is also a down side for the quantity apart from the fact it is not paraben-free too.Suncote Gel Sunscreen works best for me,it is more affordable and a good quality sunscreen.I will not be repurchasing or recommending this sunscreen,I will stick to old my favourites like Suncote.
My Rating:2.75/5
