My take on VLCC Matte Look Depigmentation Sun Screen Gel Crème SPF 30

Packaging: The sunscreen comes in a bright yellow tube with an orange flip top opening. I’ve seen most VLCC products to have such similar tube packaging, however this range has a new and brighter look. Kind of attractive to me. The tube is also convenient to use. The flip top locks tightly hence the tube is leak proof and easier to carry in your bag. The tube has all details about the product on its back side.

Fragrance: The sunscreen has a nice herbal fragrance. It is refreshing, mild on the nose and does not linger for more than half an hour.

Color: The VLCC Matte Look Depigmentation Sun Screen Gel Crème looks like a BB cream since its tinted in beige color. But don’t expect it to provide coverage or even out skin tone, this is just a sunscreen. The tint is there to do nothing.

Texture: This is marketed as a gel crème sunscreen and has a creamy texture. It is not like those gel creams that are bouncy. Rather I found it like a thick lotion. As you can see, the consistency is medium and not at all flowy. It also feels like a creamy lotion when I apply it on the skin, nothing gel like!

Experience: I apply it in the mornings after cleansing and toning. The sunscreen glides effortlessly but feels a tad bit oily while blending. However, it settles down to an oil free finish in less than a minute. Though it is said to give ‘Matte Look’, the sunscreen is not very mattifying and does not make my skin dry like the Lotus 3 in 1 Matte Sunblock, rather it mildly moisturizes while giving a smooth, supple finish. So this will suit both dry & oily skin types. Oily skin types can skip a moisturizer whereas dry skin types can include one. The sunscreen is also lightweight on the skin once it sets. You can very well apply makeup on top of this and also this doesn’t leave any white cast.
