Product reviews of Fallene Cotz SPF 58 Water Resistant UVB/UVA Sunscreen for Sensitive Skin, 2.5-Ounce Tube
Review: Good Sunscreen for Sensitive Skin
Beauty product: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I was very excited to receive this product. My son is extremely sensitive to most sunscreens. I've tried almost everything on the market. Everything claiming extra gentle, for faces, for tender places, oil free, and all the various claims but with everyone but one other product that I've tried, my son's face has ended up with red welts all over.
This product did not irritate his skin in any way. I put it on my 2 year old and my 15 month old. No irritation. They were swimming and it stayed on. Note: the product claims "water resistant" not water proof. The directions state to reapply every 2-3 hours of swimming.
I also wanted to mention that the cover states "Contains Only Titanium and Zinc" and that isn't completely true. Those are the active ingredients, there is a whole long list of inactive ingredients, if that matters to anyone.
My only complaint is that it is tinted beige. It states that it dries clear but did not. I didn't mind the beige tint on my boys because I could see the places that I had missed and reapplied but they ended up with beige all over their clothes too. I didn't think most people in day to day wear would want the beige tint on their clothes or skin.
Review: Good body protection
Beauty product: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This is not as greasy as other mineral based sunscreens, yet it spread evenly. It didn't irritate my sensitive face either, but it looked very metallic on my medium fair face--not so much so on my body. It did collect in my elbow creases a bit after very heavy sweat (the air is practically liquid with humidity down here right now). It didn't sting my eyes,either. It doesn't smell, also a plus, but it did leave some dust marks on my dark brown shorts. It is the best high SPF sunscreen I've tried so far, and that's saying something.
It does have parabens--wish they'd get rid of them.
Review: Good but pricey
Beauty product: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I was satisfied with the job this product did with regard to protection. While fragrance is not added, it is not without a scent/odor, though it was a light odor. I think the product is rather expensive given that there is no way to assess how well it works against UVA rays. My skin is not extremely sensitive so I can only say that I did not have any reactions--probably because fragrance was not added. For those with extreme sensitivities it is probably worth the cost. It did leave some dicoloration on my white shirt which I was not pleased about but it did come out after laundering. I would not want to use this other than for the beach or swimming as I don't care to wear stained clothing. Review: Good choice for sunblock
Beauty product: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I cannot use chemical sunscreens and therefore must use a high SPF sunblock and most of those are very drying. Fallene's SPF 58 is the perfect mixture of sunblock and moisture for my skin. I liked the ingredient list for Cotz but wasn't crazy about it. This point is simply a personal choice for the skin guardian in each of us.
Also, as with most general sunscreens, I did not and would not apply this to my face. Face specific lotions should be used for that. I love the slight tint, so you don't look like a ghost. Might not be okay for darker complexions, though. I'm caramel. It is lightweight too, my only wish is that they would leave out the parabens.
Overall, I liked this product and feel it delivers as promises. Melts in high humidity, but excellent in drier climate. I agree with others that say it's a tad on the pricey side, but with the way it spreads a little does go a long way.
Review: Good physical sunblock
Beauty product: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This is a really nice physical (rather than chemical) sunblock. As a fair-skinned person who burns immediately, I am very careful about sunscreens. Both for me and for my kids. This does not cause breakouts, is not at all heavy or sticky (as many physical blocks are), and sinks right into the skin. I would wear this for myself or put on my kids.
