Bought a magazine the other day and was happy to find a sample sachet of Lancome’s UV Expert Neuroshield High Potency Active Protection 12H UV-Pollution SPF50 PA+++. I tried it on the next day before I left for my morning exercise session in the park.
I expected the moisturizer to be really creamy and heavy since it has SPF50. But to my surprise, it is rather light-weight, easily blended over the face, and it smells good too. I basically finished up the whole sachet, applying it generously on my face and neck, haha! For a lotion with SPF50, Lancome UV Expert Neuroshield does not leave a feeling greasiness on the skin. I like it very much!

I don’t know its price, but my guess is it should be around RM200. Nope, I won’t be buying it this time around, as I still have lots of other bottles of lotion and cream to finish up, hehe. If I were to buy every skincare product I like, then hubby probably would need to buy drive one of those travel trailers, so that I could carry all my one hundred and one skincare items whenever we travel to KL. 
Anyway, if you are looking for something with equivalent SPF but comes with a cheaper tag, check out Garnier UV Protect Advanced Daily UV Blocking Lotion SPF50/PA+++.

I haven’t gotten any sample to try on this one yet. If I remember correctly, its price is less than RM40 in the pharmacies. Hmmm, wonder where I could get free samples of this to try…

I’ve tried “Lancome UV Expert Neuroshield SPF50″. The texture is non oily or greasy. The only draw back was it has “shiny particles” which make my face look shiny!
Unless you’re gonna apply some loose powder on top then it would make a good makeup base.
Oh i think the price is 30ml RM160, which is darn $$$. Next i’m thinking to try Loreal SPF50.

Hi Simonne, thanks for sharing your experience. Yah, I noticed the same when using the Garnier equivalent, which I’m using now. I agree with you that some loose powder is needed to keep the shine down.
