Vichy Ideal Soleil SPF 50+
I tried this product as a Feel Unique sample and being impressed decided to buy the 50ml tube.
I have always avoided other high factor sun creams because it is like spreading thick white zinc and castor oil which never seems to rub in and leaves a blueish tone to the skin.
The Vichy Ideal Soliel factor 50+ is totally different. Firstly it is lightly than in colour and spreads beautifully, adding a glow to pale skin and toning beautifully facial skin that is already pink from Sun exposure.
I'm fair skinned and this tint suits me and in the sunny weather I automatically reach for this product for my face after showering. This makes good sense for activities that include gardening and pegging out washing etc.
Great product.

Factor 50+
It's not very often you get a really good face cream that also has factor 50+. I don't really think about putting sun protection on my face except when on holiday so this is areal help. It moisturisers and protects. I wouldn't be without it.

Perfect
I am extremely fair and have sensitive skin so trying to find sun protection that isn't greasy , pore blocking and strong used to be impossible!
I went to London with a friend who had a sample of this and I commented on how she wasn't as shiny as me so she suggested trying this and I am so glad I did!
I used it last weekend when out in the sun - re applied about 3 times during the day. I wasnt shiny or greasy. There were no 'white bits' left on my face. It smelt pleasant but not overpowering and here I am almost a week later and have had no breakouts or reaction.
I used this on my face / neck and have used the spray version on my arms & legs. All were protected all day long in the sunshine without the nasty side effects of dirt etc sticking to me.
Very very pleased - have even gone out and bought another one for this summer.

Great Face Cream
I'm very fair with sensitive and have trouble putting any creams on my face, never mind a good sun cream. Vichy however has made protecting my face in the summer months a lot easier.
This cream is velvety as is described but is not as greasy and thick as others on the market. My skin felt protected and I thankfully did not get any blemishes or spots as a result of using it constantly on holiday.
Highly recommend.

Perfect Factor 50
Given to me to try by my daughter who has sensitive skin and is very happy with this product. Non-greasy and quickly absorbed, this cream does not leave the skin looking shiny as many Factor 50 products do. After having a BBC removed I am very cautious but I do feel protected with this cream. will continue to buy and use. I re-apply throughout the day if required for continued protection. Can confidently say I have not had a sunburnt face since using this wonderful sun protection cream

Great face factor 50!
By far the best spf 50 face cream I have found, non greasy and lasts even in hot weather. I agree with other reviews that I wish there was more in the bottle but still all round great product!

Loved this sun cream
I bought this sun cream for a 3wk holiday to Tenerife, I was delighted with the result. I used it every day on my face, neck, and chest, I had a nice healthy tan at the end of my holiday, I would go as far as to say it is the best sun cream I have ever used. I will certainly always take this whenever I holiday now.

Not as good as hoped
My sensitive skin normally reacts with suncream when used on my face and so I'd researched that this one was recommended and was light and silky etc. It feels very much like any other suncream to me (quite thick and cakey) and unfortunately I did react a little with break outs. Overall though, smells lovely, protected my skin, and didn't sting.
