Review: Invisible Zinc ESP Moisturizer

After yesterdays debacle where Invisible Zinc Face + Body Sunscreen have our differences, I am pleased to relay that Invisible Zinc ESP moisturizer and I are the best of friends. I also know that this product is many other bloggers friend, ie. a very good friend indeed. Plus, ...Hi asked me for a review of ESP yesterday, so this is for her as well :)


So, without further ado, why I love this product. I believe I will stick to the pros and cons format that I used for the Invisible Zinc Face + Body Sunscreen. I liked it.

Pros:

• A wonderful moisturizer combination SPF 30+ which dries to a very matte finish very quickly on my skin. 
• This baby is a physical sunscreen, so it reflects the UV rays back off your skin, where they can do no harm. Weee, no extra free radicals!
• I haven't noticed a white cast with this sunscreen, however I am a super white, so others might due to the high concentration of zinc oxide. 
• I like the pump bottle, which dispenses enough product for face and decolletage with one pump. 
• I like the smell. The zinc smell has been covered up with something quite light and non-obtrusive, compared to Invisible Zinc Face and Body Sunscreen. 
• The high concentration of Zinc in the formula can actually be anti-inflammatory and healing for those of us with problem skin. I have not had a breakout attributed to this product, probably because it is so gentle. Success! 

Cons:

• This product is not very moisturizing on those with quite dry skin. I use a rosehip oil underneath mine, those with dry skin like myself might have to use another form of moisturizer underneath the product, or else you will turn into an oil slick by the end of the day. 
• It is very difficult to remove. Which could be a pro as well, really. You need a heavy duty makeup remover or a good wack with the Clarisonic to remove all of this baby.

So my love affair with Invisible Zinc continues. I adore this sunscreen, to me it is an absolute winner. Even though it is $35 a bottle.
