Living in the US definitely requires more sunscreen than living in The Netherlands. Especially here in the Midwest. Yesterday, for example, it was very humid and about 30 degrees Celcius (86 degrees) and it’s not even Summer yet, only May!
Some of you might know this already, but I have a slight sun allergy. 
I get a rash (small whiteheads) on certain parts my face when I stay in the sun too much. What helps me a lot is having a good sunscreen.
So every year around this time I look for a new sunscreen, preferably a moisturizer with SPF protection. I prefer those over regular sunscreen, because I don’t like the extra step that comes with sunscreen before my moisturizer. 2-in-1 products are definitely the way to go for me!
I was sent two products by Eucerin’s Daily Protection line:
Eucerin Daily Protection Moisturizing Face Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen (for face)
Eucerin Daily Protection Moisturizing Lotion Sunscreen SPF 15 (for body)
top: Eucerin Daily Protection Moisturizing Face Lotion
bottom: Eucerin Daily Protection Moisturizing Lotion Sunscreen
What is it?
These are said to be really great moisturizers with SPF protection: they both have a high SPF and are oil-, dye- and fragrance-free. Below is how these products are described by Eucerin:
1) Eucerin Daily Protection Moisturizing Face Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen
Eucerin Daily Protection Moisturizing Face Lotion’s gentle, effective broad spectrum SPF 30 formula moisturizes for a full 24 hours while it helps prevent long-term skin damage and skin cancer when used with a sun safe program. Oil and fragrance-free, Eucerin Daily Protection is clinically proven to be safe for sensitive skin, and provides broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection against harmful rays. Non-comedogenic Eucerin Daily Protection can be worn alone or under makeup, and is recommended for adults with dry, sensitive skin who are for adults concerned about incidental sun exposure.
2) Eucerin Daily Protection Moisturizing Lotion Sunscreen SPF 15
Blend of sunscreens including physical (inorganic) Titanium Dioxide provides sunburn protection
Dimethicone enhances skin’s moisture barrier
Urea and Glycerin intensively moisturize
Antioxidant Vitamin E helps defend against free radicals caused by sun exposure
What are my thoughts?
– I like the fact that these products are not only effective sunscreens, but also great moisturizers. Saves time!
– They both contain the ingredients you need to protect your skin against the sun, but they also safe for sensitive skin, great for oily skin like mine (both lotions are oil and fragrance free) and moisturizing.
– The lotions are easily absorbed and don’t leave a greasy/oily residu or a white cast. The lotion for face is a bit thinner than the one for body (which is great!) and feels like a regular moisturizer on the skin.
– Both products do have a tiny bit of a sunscreen scent, but it’s not overpowering at all. Nothing to be bothered about, in my opinion. I’m actually happy that Eucerin didn’t add a fragrance, since added fragrances don’t go well with sensitive skin…
– They are both budget friendly. The bottles are pretty big and will definitely last you for months. Granted, the bottles aren’t the prettiest looking (they’re a bit boring), but they both have a pump, which I love.
– Eucerin products are widely available. You can find them at drugstores, grocery stores and discount stores. For my readers in The Netherlands: I’ve seen Eucerin products at Dutch pharmacies.
Both lotions from the Eucerin Daily Protection line retail for $9.49 each. The face lotion contains 4 fl. oz and the body lotion is 13.5 fl. oz. Plenty of product! If you’re in the market for new face and body moisturizers or if you’re running out of sunscreen, I definitely recommend these. Protect your skin from the sun, ladies!
