Pure physical sunscreen has never been the mainstream of the sunscreen industry, and its undesirable skin sensations such as whitening and dryness have been criticized. Elizabeth Arden launched the Platinum Skin Protection Smart Lotion, also known as Tangerine Sunscreen, which is an alternative to physical sunscreens, which not only improves the problems of many physical sunscreen products, but also has skin care ingredients.
Low irritation is the characteristic of physical sunscreens, and Tangerine has no added alcohol, which is relatively mild, but the core ingredient idebenzene needle may cause sensitization. For the common whitening problem of physical sunscreen, Tangerine has added colorants such as mica and iron oxide to deal with it. However, this will also lead to some users who have a darkened complexion after applying Tangerine, so it is recommended to try it at the counter before purchasing. Pulling dry is another common problem with physical sunscreens, and Tangerine avoids it, the sunscreen feels smooth on the face and has a certain amount of moisture, but it is not suitable for users who prefer a dry and toning feel.
Like other mid-to-high-end brands of sunscreens, Tangerine's eye-catching feature is the addition of skin care ingredients, and the price is higher than most sunscreens, with a price of 490 yuan for 40ml. In addition to moisturizing ingredients such as glycerin and lecithin, Tangerine also contains the classic ingredient idebene, as well as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agents such as ergothioneine, ferulic acid, and tea leaf extract. In terms of sunscreen ingredients, Tangerine is a pure physical sunscreen, which is protected by a conventional combination of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide in all wavelengths, and the sun protection index is SPF50, PA.
The disadvantage is that the orange can be shiny when it is first applied, and the film formation speed is not fast. Tangerine's sweat resistance is acceptable, and "white sweat" rarely occurs in summer, but this sunscreen needs to be removed with a makeup remover. In general, Tangerine sunscreen is relatively more suitable for normal skin and dry skin, dry skin still needs to be moisturized first when used in winter, and it is not recommended to use it in summer for oily skin, which is too sticky.
