Hello ladies!



RO: Banuiesc ca nu mai sunt multe persoane care sa nu fie constiente de efectele daunatoare ale expunerii prelungite si neprotejate la soare, si cat de important este sa folosim o crema de protectie pe tot parcursul anului, nu numai vara, chiar si iarna (iarna doar fata si eventual mainile ar trebui protejate, dar vara intreg corpul inclusiv partile acoperite de haine). Este important sa alegem un factor de protectie adecvat pielii noastre iar cele cu pielea deschisa nu va ganditi ca daca folositi un factor mare de protectie nu va veti mai bronza, gresit! Va veti bronza usor si sigur, nu va veti inrosi, nu va vor aparea pete, pistrui sau alte alergii cauzate de soare si cel mai important: nu va cresteti riscul de cancer de piele.

Mica introducere

Stiu ca tocmai intram in ultima luna din vara, dar de obicei este cea mai caniculara si multi aleg sa plece in concediu in aceasta perioada si e foarte important sa ne protejam de soare asa ca azi am decis sa ma povestesc despre crema cu FPS pe care am folosit-o constant in uktimele 2 luni: Gerovital Sun Crema anti-imbatranire cu FPS 50. Am sa sar peste miciile discutii si trec direct la recenzie.

Descrierea produslui:

Adresabilitate
Recomandată în special persoanelor cu pielea sensibilă, predispuse alergiilor solare, constituind un excelent mijloc de protecţie împotriva îmbătrânirii premature produse de radiaţiile solare.

Actiune
Poate fi folosită cu succes pentru prevenţia intoleranţelor solare, a petelor pigmentare, a fotodermatozelor etc. Are o formulare uşoară de cremă gel, o textură hidratantă, fără efect gras, rezistentă la apă şi transpiraţie, fără parfum, fără parabeni, fără oxibenzonă, non comedogenică, cu conţinut de filtre minerale ce asigură o protecţie ridicată şi echilibrată împotriva radiaţiilor UVA/UVB.

Rezultat

Ingrediente active
Ulei din samburi de rodii - ulei extrem de bogat si hranitor, folosit atat extern cat si intern datorita proprietatilor sale cosmetice si medicale. Extractul si sucul din samburi de rodii a devenit foarte popular in ultimul timp datorita proprietatilor sale antioxidante, iar uleiul din samburi de rodii se dovedeste a fi si mai benefic. Uleiul din samburi de rodii nu numai ca are nivel crescut de antioxidanti care combat radicalii liberi si imbatranirea, dar este totodata si o sursa importanta de acizi punicic si ellagic. Datorita acestor proprietati, uleiul este folosit pentru a vindeca, proteja si hidratata pielea uscata, crapata, matura, sensibila, reda elasticitatea pielii, si pentru eczeme si alte probleme alea pielii.

Textura
Pe ambalaj scrie ca este o textura usoara, de gel-crema dar nu este usoara si este o crema densa (ca, de altfel, majoritatea cremelor cu FPS 50)




Mod de utilizare
Se aplică uniform pe faţă  înainte de expunerea la soare. La aplicare poate apărea un efect de albire a feţei datorat filtrelor minerale. Efectul dispare în câteva minute de la aplicare.
Reaplicaţi frecvent şi din abundenţă (mai ales după baie, în caz de transpiraţie sau după ştergerea cu prosopul). Nu expuneţi la soare sugarii şi copiii mici. Evitaţi expunerea la soare între orele 11-15. Expunerea prelungită la soare este periculoasă, nu rămâneţi prea mult la soare chiar dacă folosiţi un produs de protecţie solară. Folosiţi protecţie vestimentară (pălărie, ochelari de soare, tricou).

Quick pros and cons:
 + ambalaj simplu si design curat
 + formula fara parabeni (pentru cele pe care le intereseaza acest aspect, pe mine nu, cititi aici mai mult despre parabeni)
 + formula hipoalergenica
 + nu contine oxibenzona
 + fara reactii adverse
 +/- lasa o pelicula alba imediat dupa aplicare (pentru mine e un plus, dar altora s-ar putea sa nu le placa)
 - contradictie in informatii (rezistent la apa dar sa se reaplice dupa baie)
 - scrie ca are unt de Shea dar nu se gaseste in lista de ingrediente

Detaliere:


Ca de obicei voi incepe a vorbi despre ambalaj, imi place! Are un design curat, simplu, imi plac si culorile alese, foarte modern. Nu se poate sa avem si celelalte creme Farmec in acest ambalaj, va rog? ;;) Mirosul mi se pare unul mineral, este singurul cuvant care imi vine in minte inafara de "pamantesc" (earthy; m-am uitat la prea multe episoade de  Bizarre Foods :))) ) dar nu mi se pare un miros puternic sau deranjant.


Trecand la ingrediente, e important de stiut ca aceasta crema nu contine oxibenzona, ingredient ce poate cauza eruptii cutanate (dupa cum am aflat si eu de curand) iar la un studiu mai atent al ingredientelor (cu ajutorul acetui dictionar de ingrediente), inafara de controversatul BHA (nu confundati cu beta hydroxy acid care nu va fi niciodata trecut asa la ingrediente; nu vreau sa intru acum in discutii despre acest antioxidant, cred ca ar trebui sa se informeze fiecare si sa-si traga propriile concluzii, concluzia mea a fost ca nu ma deranjeaza ca ingredient in creme; aveti aici o explicatie de la Farmec, si cu un simplu search pentru butylated hydroxyanisole aflati mai multe informatii), toate sunt ok. Unul din filtrele de protectie folosite este dioxidul de titaniu micronizat, substanta stabila in varianta micronizata fata de cea nemicronizata, nu patrunde in piele, se intinde mult mai usor si uniform pe suprafata pielii. Atunci cand este acoperit cu alte elemente (alumina -sau oxid de aliuminiu-, dimethicone, glicerina, dioxid de siliciu sau trimethoxy capryl silane ) proprietatile de protectie solara ii sunt imbunatatite, impiedica interactiunea dioxidului de titaniu cu alte substante in prezenta soarelui, per total, ii imbunatateste proprietatile si elimina problemele de siguranta.


Dupa 2 luni de folosire intensa nu am nimic de reprosat cremei. Luand in considerare efectele imediate (protectie solara, prevenirea petelor solare) si-a facut treaba si am supus-o la un test intens. Acum o luna aproape am fost la o intalnire a aeromodelistilor, undeva in camp, unde singurele locuri cu umbra erau sub pavilioanele arhicunoscute (cele gen cort), si stiti prea bine cat "de mult" te protejeaza de soare. Iar dupa 2 zile sub soarele dogoritor, singurul lucru pe care-l puteai spune de fata mea era faptul ca e abia atinsa de soare. Iar de-a lungul cararii de pe cap (da stiu, atata protectie pe corp si sa ma ard pe pielea capului!!! Si am purtat palarie in majoritatea timpului dar e un mister cum am ajuns asa rosie pe carare) inca se mai vede o roseata usoara, la o luna de atunci. Asta ca sa va dati seama cat de rau a fost si cate de bine m-a protejat crema.


Cat despre efectele pe termen lung, nu cred ca exista indicii care sa creeze dubii ca aceasta crema nu face cea ce promite:  sa ajute la prevenirea imbatranirii premature.


Desi unora s-ar putea sa nu le placa pelicula albicioasa lasata de crema imediat dupa ce o aplici deoarece iti albeste fata (si poate vrei sa arati bronzata) mie imi place mult acest efect, imi uniformizeaza tenul. Asa ca, de la mine primeste un mare plus pentru asta. Se intinde relativ usor, fiind mai densa, dar trebuie sa masezi bine pentru a fi absorbita crema si a nu ramane urme vizibile.


Desi scrie ca este rezistenta la apa, in instructiuni spune sa reaplici dupa baie sau in caz de transpiratie, este o contradictie clara aici si nu mi se pare ok, mai ales ca pe cutia in care vine crema, cat si pe ambalajul cremei propriu-zis scrie mai mare si la vedere ca este rezistent la apa. Pana la urma cum o fi? Alt lucru ce merita mentionat: desi scrie ca are unt de shea, nu l-am regasit printre ingrediente. Cam astea ar fi minusurile din partea mea. 



LE: Normal ca stau si caut atat pentru review si imi scapa o chestie mica, cum ar fi sa dau un search pe google pentru un ingredient :( Deci, untul de Shea este trecut cu denumirea INCI: Butyrospermum Parkii Butter. Cat despre rezistenta la apa, din pacate unii nu vor citi si instructiunile si cand vad ca e rezistent la apa si cand vor iesi din apa nu vor reaplica o crema de protectie, oricare ar fi ea desi este indicat sa reaplci pentru o protectie optima.


Concluzie:


Un produs foarte bun pe care cel mai probabil il voi recumpara. Este unul dintre produsele fara de care nu as fi rezistat vara asta.

Voi ati incercat aceasta crema?

EN: I suppose that there aren't many people that are not aware of the negative effects of prolonged and unprotected exposure to sunlight and how important is to use sun screen all year round, not just in the summer, but in winter as well (during winter you would use sun screen for your face and maybe hands but in summer it is important to apply sun screen all over your body, covered by clothes or not). It is very important to choose teh level of sun screen according to our skin color and ladies with fair skin, don't think that if you're using a high SPF you won't get tanned, wrong! You will slowly and surely get tanned, avoiding the appearance of dark spots, freckles and other sun irritations, and most of all, you won't elevate the risk of developing skin cancer.


Little introduction:

I know we're just getting in the final month of summer, but usually it's the hottest one and the month a lot of you choose to go on vacation and today I want to tell you about the SPF cream that I have used this summer and been using constantly for the last couple of months: Gerovital Sun Anti-aging face cream with SPF 50. I'm just gonna skip the chit chat this time and get right into the review.

Product description:

Skin type
It is recommended especially for persons with sensitive skin, predisposed to develop sun allergies as it is an excellent protective shield against premature aging caused by sun radiations.

Action
It can be successfully used to prevent sun intolerances, pigment spots, photodermatosis etc. It has a light, gel-cream formula, a moisturizing texture, with no greasy effect, water- and perspiration-proof, perfume, paraben and oxybenzone free, with mineral filters in its composition ensuring high and balanced protection against UVA/UVB. The formula is rich in shea butter and pomegranate seed oil. Hypoallergenic formula.
It complies with EU recommendations concerning the protection against harmful effects of UVA/UVB radiations.

Result
It prevents sun intolerances and skin premature ageing (excessive dehydration, pigment spots, photodermatosis etc). Hypoallergenic formula.

Active ingredient
Pomegranate seed oil - an extremely rich and nutritious oil, which may be used internally or externally for its cosmetic and medicinal properties. Pomegranate seed extract and juice have been popular lately for their anti-oxidant properties, and pomegranate seed oil is proving to be even more beneficial. Not only does pomegranate seed oil contain high levels of anti-oxidants that fight free radicals and skin aging, but the oil is also a potent source of punicic and ellagic acids. Because of these properties, pomegranate seed oil is used to heal, protect, and moisturize dry, cracked, mature, and irritated skin, bring elasticity back to the skin, and for eczema and other skin problems.

Texture
They say light, gel-cream like but it's not light and more of a dens cream like (as most of the SPF 50 creams, except for those especially for oily skin with acne tendencies)




Use
Apply evenly on the face skin prior to sun exposure. A skin whitening effect may appear upon application due to the mineral filters. The effect disappears in several minutes from application. Reapply plenty of quantities on regular basis (especially after bathing, transpiration or wiping with towel). Keep infants and small babies out of direct sunlight, avoid sun exposure between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Prolonged sun exposure is dangerous, don’t stay too much in the sun even if you are using a sun protection product. Wear sun protection clothing (hat, sunglasses, T-shirt).

Quick pros and cons:
+ clean and simple packaging
+ no parabens (for those who care, I just don't, read more about them here)
+ hypoallergenic formula
+ no oxybenzone
+ no adverse reactions
+/- slightly white layer after applied (plus for me, but others may not like it)
- contradiction in the information (water resistant but in the info says to reapply after a bath)
- says it contains Shea butter but it's not on the ingredients' list

Detailing:

As usual, let's start with the packaging: I like it! It's clean, simple, I like the colors chosen, very modern. Huge step forward. Could we get the other Farmec face creams in that type of plastic tube pretty please?? ;;) The smell is very minerally, that's the only term I can think about besides earthy (been watching too much Bizarre Foods lately :))) ) but it's not a strong smell and I don't find it disruptive.

 Moving on to the formula, it's very important to know that it doesn't contain oxybenzone, ingredient that may cause rashes (as I've recently learned) and after studying the ingredients closely (with the help of this ingredients' dictionary), except for the controversial BHA (do not confuse with beta hydroxy acid - it will never appear like this on the ingredients' list; I don't want to into a discussion about this antioxidant, I think each and everyone should read and decide for itself how they feel about it; my conclusion was that I do not mind it as an ingredients in the creams), all the ingredients are in the green. One of the filters used is micronized titanium dioxide, which is more stable than non micronized, doesn't penetrate the skin, easier to spread and when coated with other elements (alumina, dimethicone, glycerin, silica, and trimethoxy capryl silane) its sun protection properties are improved, it prevents interaction with other ingredients in the presence of sunlight, all in all, its efficiency is improved and eliminates safety concerns.

After 2 months of using it, I have no complaints about this cream. In the short run (protection, prevention of dark spots) it has done its job and I can state that I've put it through a heavy duty test. Few weeks back I went to a RC models enthuthiasts, in a field, where all the protection we had from sunlight were tents (and we all know they don't count that much) and after 2 days in the scorching sun, the correct term to describe my skin was slightly sun kissed. And across my hair line (yes, I know, bad Jully, wearing all that protection and getting sun burned on your head!!! I did wear a hat most of the time, it's a mystery how I managed to get a sun burn across my hair line), you can still see some redness, 1 month from that weekend.

Though some people might not like the thin white layer left behind after first applying the cream because it whitens your face (and you want to look tanned) I loved that because it would even out my skin. So a big plus from me for that. It almost easy to apply, since it's denser, but you have to massage your face really well in order for the skin to penetrate the skin and to avoid white traces on your face.

And although it is written on the box that it is water resistant and perspiration rezistant, in the instructions it says to reapply after a bath or in case of perspiration. It is a clear contradiction and it is not ok. So what is it then? Another thing: though, again, it says on the box that the formula cpntains Shea butter, I didn't find it among the ingredients. This would be all the minuses from my part.

LE: Of course that silly me does a lot of research for the review and doesn't do one simple thing, a search for one ingredient. So, you can find the Shea butter in the ingredients' list under its INCI name: Butyrospermum Parkii Butter. And about its resistance to water, some people may skip reapplying any sun screen after a bath just because they read on the box water resistant even though it is indicated to reapply to ensure the maximum protection.

Conclusion:

Great product, I am pretty sure that I will buy it again, it's one of the products I couldn't go without this summer and I cannot say anything bad about it
