Customer Reviews of Fallene Total Block UVA/UVB Complete Full Spectrum Sun Protection, SPF 65 Clear, 2 fl Ounces (59 ml)
Customer Review: Really blocks out the sun
Summary: 5 Stars
This is to be used for serious sun exposure where protecting yourself is more important than a slight white layer on your skin. I kayak every week and I am under the sun for 3 to 5 hours. I know this works because I forgot to apply this on my hands and they were the only part of my body that tanned and burned. Yes, there is a light white shade. Big deal. Also, this isn't meant to go on your face as well, not matter what anyone says. They have another product that is meant for sensitive skin that doesn't have a noticeable white shade.
I just got back from a whole day of Kayaking under very intense sun here in Newport Beach, CA. I didn't even have a noticeable tan. Since I was paddling the whole time, I didn't have a chance to reapply it. Since there is a slight white shade, I could still see it on my skin even with water splashing on me.
I still recommend using a hat and long sleeve rash guard with SPF if you intend to stay under the sun for a long time, but if you cannot, this is the next best choice.
Customer Review: Best sunblock ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not kidding when I say that this sunblock changed my life! I am extremely pale (nordic, irish, german roots) with freckles and moles and I received a wake-up call when a dermatologist told me that I was basically headed for disaster if I didn't start taking care of my skin. Funny enough, I never tanned or sat on the beach, so I figured I was okay. But it was what I WASNT doing (wearing sunblock, hats, etc) that was hurting me. I had to have a total of 7 moles removed which thankfully turned me to a healthier view on taking care of my skin.
I tried many different kinds of sunscreen and sunblock and I was having trouble finding the perfect "facial" block. Total block is a little thicker than most, but I find that it blends in well and provides a mattifying effect on my super oily skin. I can see why some people balk at the color, but I think if you have a lighter complexion you won't have a problem.
Customer Review: Only for serious sunblock
Summary: 5 Stars
I received a sample of this product at a trade show a number of years ago. I have what you would call mild rosacea. If I get any type of over exposure to the sun my face really shows it. This product will totally stop this. Yes, it does have a film, but not like the lifeguards wear on their noses. If you apply it sparingly in a thin layer and massage it in, it will blend in well. It does not take much to offer you complete protection. If you have mild rosacea it will actually lighten up your skin a tad, and for many of us this is not totally undesireable. I only use it on my face and ears which are problem areas for me. I enjoy the outdoors (Cancun vacations, fishing, hiking, working in the garden) without worry that my face will turn beet red and remain that way for days or weeks to come. I use this product regularly, and would not be without it when I travel or if intend to be outdoors.Customer Review: White face paint?
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this sunscreen at the insistance of my mother who was just diagnosed with skin cancer on her face. I am naturally quite tan and she is not. So after applying it I looked like I had a significant chalky hue to my face and my face was much whiter than my neck and arms. It did not "sink in" no matter how much I tried to rub it in. It did not apply well on my kids faces either. So I gave that to my mom. I switched to Neutrogena Ultra Sheer dry touch SPF 70. It works very well with all of us and was recommended by my dermatologist. I did also buy Fallene Cotz SPF 58 (a slight deal if you buy it together with Total Block) and it also does not rub in but I will use it on my kids until it runs out since it doesn't burn their eyes.Customer Review: Excellent coverage and not sticky!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recieved samples of the Total Block clear spf 60 and COTZ clear spf 58 from my dermatologist. I love them both! I wear Bare Minerals foundation and normal sunblock leaves my skin with a sticky feel to it which makes my make up cake on. Total block is not greasey or sticky and gives geat coverage. I've noticed my complection to be smoother and haven't been wearing foundation lately. It is the best product to use on the face. I haven't had a problem with the color either. I'm chinese and tan very easily so I'm light in the winter and med in the summer- the clear blends really well- the tinted one is too light for my skin. I would recommend this product to anyone wanting to prevent sun damage.
