This hands down is one of the best moisturizing face lotions I have ever tried at the drugstore, ( and dude..I have tried so many). Most face lotions I buy from the drugstore are mediocre at best( alot are left half finished before I get distracted by a new shiny lotion at the drugstore). The ones with SPF tend to have a thick sunscreen feel that don't dry down and remain tacky on the skin, making your foundation and other makeup on top fade and rub off easily..let's not even talk about a hot humid day. :'( This L'oreal Ideal Moisture lotion honestly was one of those ' throw in your cart online to get free shipping' kind of situation on Amazon. I got it for $4.98 at the end of February of this year. When it arrived the first thing I did was look at the SPF ingredients. They are Avobenzone 3%, Homoslate 2%, Octisalate 5%, and Octocrylene 7%. In other words, the good stuff in higher end SPF lotions. It has both UVA and UVB protection. The first thing I noticed was the smell of the lotion. It smells amazingly light and fresh, ( even for a sensitive nose like myself). The texture is more on the watery side, but the viscosity of it is enough it make it not run everywhere. It applies amazingly smooth. I have oily/combination dry skin, and my skin just drank this stuff up! It held up through the day. I usually get dry with both high end and drugstore moisturizers around my nose area midday, but since using this, I never had this problem! My foundation and other makeup blend so well with this lotion. So well, that I actually got another bottle to make my own tinted moisturizer with left over foundations. The lotion the foundations and lotion tritrate so well! ( And actually stay homologous). That means shaking up the bottle before applying the tinted moisturizer is unnecessary. I also bought a bottle to bring back to my mother when I go back to Los Angeles for spring break. This stuff is good. The other formulas that the lotion comes in is intended for sensitive and normal skin types. I might get those later down the line to make a comparison for you guys! :) Thanks for reading! Hope this helped!
