Dermstrata's Total Block Gel with SPF 35

Summer days are over and it's raining cats and dogs all over the metro. However, don't be misled by cloudy skies because UV rays can still pass through those clouds and harm our skin. It wasn't my habit to put on anything on my face especially at daytime because I want to avoid having a greasy face at the end of the day. My face is so oily that all the dirt and dust will stick on it only after two to three hours. So my quest for the perfect sunblock continues until I come across Dermstrata. And hurray!!! I finally found my HG sunblock!!!


Dermstrata's Total Block Gel in Big Jar for Php 1,250.00

It is colorless and unscented
As you can see in the picture, I used a small scooper for hygienic purpose.

What I Like:
  • Perfect for people with oily and sensitive skin like me
  • It is water based and doesn't sting my eyes because I apply it on my whole face
  • Works great with my VMV Pore Mattifier, making my skin shine free for hours!
  • Doesn't leave a whitish cast 
  • It is odorless and colorless. Can be applied before makeup.
  • No breakouts and didn't clog my pores

What I Don't Like:
  • They reformulated this sunblock which doesn't suit me so I have to order this from them and wait for less than a week
  • A little expensive for a sunblock
  • Available only in big jars so you have to make sure your hands are clean before you scoop it out or in my case, I use a small scooper from my old night cream to get the amount that I'll use
Verdict:
         I give this sunblock a  5/5. I've been using this for years and I haven't yet come across a substitute for this one. This is truly one of the best from Dermstrata hands down!
