Review on 🌞 Reef Safe Sunscreen: Acne Prone Skin Comprehensive Protection by Ashley Branch

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Contains bergamot fruit oil. Poor

I heard about this product from Angie (HotandFlashy Youtuber). I liked the light consistency and started using it daily for about 3 weeks. After a few days I developed sensitive skin (skin itchy around chin and cheekbones, sensitive etc.). Then, about 2 weeks later, I noticed that my skin in the cheek area was getting dark spots. I always thought it was my Curology cream that I used. But I used it for about 3 weeks before I started using this sunscreen with no problems so I kept telling myself it must be something else and didn't want to believe it was this highly rated sunscreen. After studying it more closely, I found that this sunscreen contains bergamot oil. This ingredient can cause your skin to become more sensitive to the sun, which can lead to dark spots. I was horrified, but it made sense because that's what was happening to me. I stopped using it immediately and within a day my skin was no longer itchy or sensitive. Unfortunately, my dark spots are still there. Definitely not recommended for sensitive skin. There is no real benefit of bergamot oil in this product other than the pleasant smell. But the scent is not suitable for the skin. I recommend you read the review by Dr. Dray to view this product.

Pros
  • Well made
Cons
  • Very expensive
