What I think:
At first it felt a little heavy on my face. After about 10 minutes, it seemed to soak in and the smell virtually disappeared. My husband usually complains about the smell of new things I try on my face, but he didn’t even smell this one. There’s one positive!
Then, the next day I put it on after I got out of the shower. About 10 minutes later (after drying my hair) I put on my foundation right on top. I found that it actually made application smooth and easy. And I noticed that by evening, my makeup still looked great. I don’t know if it was the moisturizer or the makeup, but my face looked great all day.
The more I use it, the more I like it. And I think the good thing about this L’Oreal Vichy UV•ACTIV Daily Moisturizing Cream is that I know it’s protecting my skin from the sun. And with my pale, fair skin, protecting my skin from the sun is really important to me. I sunburn really easy during the summer, so the true test of this will come in a couple months. I will do a follow-up review of this in a few months. But for now, I would recommend it!
