DiorSnow White Reveal Sunscreen Review

I'm actually a bit guilty in saying this, but before I was a beauty blogger, I never ever buy sunscreen for face only. Granted I've always had moisturizers that had sunscreen in it, but it's usually SPF 30. When Fuz introduced me to DiorSnow sunscreen, I was skeptical but after a year of using it, I'm now a believer. This has currently become a staple in my skincare routine and I have not been able to find anything to replace it. Here's my review below:


Price $49

Where to Purchase: Nordstrom

Size: 1.3 oz

Ingredients: Active Ingredients: Zinc Oxide (19%), Octinoxate (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate) 7.50% Other Ingredients: Cyclopentasiloxane, Aqua (Water), Butylene Glycol, Diphensylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, PEG-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Dimethicone/Methicone Copolymer, Pentylene Glycol, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Tromethamine, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Magnesium Sulfate, Phenoxyethanol, Sorbitan Sesquiisostearate, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Sodium Citrate, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Parum (fragrance), Ehtylhexylglycerin, Glycerin, Tetrasodium EDTA, Tocopherol, Citric Acid, Hydrolized Lupine Portein, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Malva Sylvetris (Mallow) Extract, Citronellol, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Nasturtium Officinale Extract, Methylparaben, Sodium Chloride, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Plankton Extract, Spiraea Ulmaria Extract, Lonicera Japonica (Honey-suckle) Extract, Sodium DNA, Isobutylparaben, Propylparaben, BHT, Disodium Phosphate, Ergothioneine, Potassium Chloride, Potassium Phospate, Tocopheral

Scent: There's a light scent to it but very pleasant and goes away within seconds of application.

What it claims: This lightweight, unifying, subtly tinted makeup base instantly enhances the natural radiance of the complexion while improving makeup wear with a unique combination of graft polymers. It provides high-level UV protection and maintains hydration, while new-generation optical diffusers veil skin in velvety light and help to minimize dark spots, pores and imperfections. The complexion appears outstandingly even and radiant.

What it actually does: It is definitely a lightweight cream that goes on smoothly against my skin and I just love it. Knowing that it has higher SPF to protect my skin even more and feels hydrated throughout the day. When I do get my occasional pimple, this cream helps lighten the appearance of the scars it leaves behind and evens out my skintone.

Skin Type: any

Likelihood of Repurchase: I'm actually on my third tube now so it goes without saying YES! I love love love this sunscreen and even though I have tried others, I've always gone back to it. Hey if it's not broken, why fix it? =P

    thanks so much for the review! it was very informative. I'm looking for a good sunscreen with a high level of zinc oxide. this might be the one i'll purchase =)

    This sounds so great high SPF & lightens appearance of pimples?! But unfortunately it's way out of my price range :( Maybe in the future...On my wishlist this will go!

    Thanks for the review! ^__^

    I've got the Diorshow Whitening UK Spot Corrector SPF 50 PA+++ that I use on my scars and freckles to keep them from getting any darker. It's also tinted, so it acts like a concealer too. I love Diorsnow products!

    does it make your face feel greasy at all? the few high-SPF moisturizers that I've tried have had a tendency to make my skin greasy

    it does not make my face greasy at all.. it's rather matifying.. i def do prefer this over any sunscreen used thus far
