Product claims: "Kind To Skin+ is more than everyday skincare. It’s a range of products with the same Simple goodness and skin loving ingredients as the trusted Kind To Skin range but with added benefits. We’re talking illuminating, protecting, brightening, perfecting and moisture boosting skincare treats ...
Perfect blend of multi-vitamins and skin loving ingredients with SPF protection to give dehydrated and dull skin a boost whilst protecting from UVA/ UVB rays. Perfect even for sensitive skin."
About you: Sensitive eczematous skin which is easily dried out, first fine lines, mild papulopustular rosacea. Purchased because a couple of the regulars rate it and rosacea demands sunscreen.
Your opinion: Appreciate the pump packaging which should keep the sunscreen agents fresher for longer. The ingredients are a real chemical soup, but there are some nice actives tucked away.
First impression this cream goes on with a white cast and does not initially massage in easily. However go about your business for a few minutes and the moisturiser soaks in without visible residue. I don't think I am going to love this but the value for money cannot be denied.
