[Review] Sisley Paris | Phyto-Blanc Brightening Daily Defence Fluid SPF50 PA++++

High level pollution, UV radiation and free radicals impact our skin more than we realised, even more so if we are living in the urban areas. Environmental stresses of such will weaken our skin and this can cause dark spots, pigmentation and uneven complexion over time. We have to confess, we have always dreaded putting on sun block due to its thick consistency and stickiness, some even leave traces of white patches on the skin. Our dark spots and pigmentation was developed way back when we trained for our tennis competition during our university days, right under the scorching hot sun! Believe it or not, we never slathered on any trace of sun protection (yucks!). Thinking back, it was way too gullible of us not knowing better.

Today, we would love to take some time to share with you one sunscreen protection we have come to love of late, a lot. It would be this one from Sisley Paris, the Phyto-Blanc Brightening Daily Defence Fluid SPF50 PA++++. It arrived together with another new surprise from this French brand previously.

Sisley Research has created a new skincare product in its Phytho-Blanc expert range, the Phytho-Blanc Brightening Daily Defense Fluid - a complete anti-dark spots skincare with a multi-protection urban shield. It is anti-UVB/UVA, anti-free radicals, anti-pollution - specially designed of Asian skin to provide ultimate protection in urban environments.

According to the R&D team at Sisley, this sunscreen is like no other as it is a 2-in-1 daily skincare that both treats and protects at the same time. It has 3 main functions to this fluid:

1. Radiance Enhancer (Phyto-Blanc Patented Complex)
Malfunctioning melanogenesis promotes the appearance of dark spots and lack of radiance. To address this, Sisley Research has formulated the patented Phyto-Blanc complex, a combination of 3 powerful active ingredients (Hexylresorcinol, stabilised Vitamin C (AA2G), modified Rhubarb Extract) for a powerful brightening anti-dark spot action.

2. Multi-Protection Urban Shield (Skin Defense System)
Skin Defense System is a unique combination of targeted active ingredients providing triple shield. For UV, a cutting-edge high-tolerance mineral sunscreen, Titanium Dioxide, for optimal SPF50 UV protection. For pollution, Buckwheat Seed Extract is an anti-pollution active ingredient, protects the integrity of the skin's barrier function from harsh atmospheric pollutants and fine particles (PM10 and PM2.5). For free radicals, Ascorbic Acid 2-Glucoside, with powerful anti-free radical properties, strengthens the skin's defense mechanisms. As a result, this skincare helps prevent skin photo-aging and the appearance of new dark spots. The skin's beauty and restored radiance are preserved.

3. Moisturising Action (Hydrolipidic Film Strengthened)
The combination of Pro-vitamin B5 and Phytosqualene, with hydrating and soothing properties, fight skin dryness caused by air-conditioning and overheated atmospheres. Instantly and lastingly moisturised, skin remains comfortable.

Comes in a lightweight sleek white pump bottle, this sunscreen fluid is a feast for the eyes, which we love. We believe what Sisley claims are absolutely right on the dot. They have indeed achieved the technological prowess of combining very high protection thanks to 100% mineral sunscreen with an exceptional sensory experience. The fluid is white in colour, super airy and blends into our skin heavenly, without leaving any white residue or traces. It is indeed a DREAM to use. We could instantly feel the super ultra silky smooth texture upon application and it gets absorbed beautifully into the skin seconds within application. With a watery texture and a fresh subtle fragrance, it is non-sticky, non-greasy and totally a joy to use! We have never experienced such great sensorial experience from a sunscreen before, honestly. The good news is, the fluid is also non-comedogenic, suited to all skin types (even sensitive!), sweat and humidity proof. It is developed  for and tested on Asian skin and under dermatological control.

This is one amazing skincare product that truly lives up to its functionality and expectations.

We have nothing but praise about this sunscreen as it truly lives up to its claims, and more! Having said that, this little wonder skincare product will attract those who have deep pockets, we believe. The sunscreen is retailed at MYR1,100 (50ml). More about the sunscreen here.
