Swatches and my thoughts about ZA True White Day Protector

Za True White Day Protector is a creamy white product with a runny consistency. It applies smoothly on skin, with a slight white cast on application, which disappears within a few minutes without any sticky feeling. It keeps the skin soft  and moisturized for sometime. The cream claims to help diminish spots and acne marks, I must say that I haven’t noticed any results  in a month,The cream has SPF 26 PA++, which I think is way too less for Indian summers. It never gave me any breakouts or skin irritation.. People who are greater than NC 42 I would say, stay away from this as this gives a strong white cast. I am NC 40 now and it works okay for me…I apply my regular foundation and set it with my compact and keeps my face oil free for a long time…Overall, I would say that it is an okay product,  didn’t do anything great but not bad either. Instead of putting a sunscreen and moisturizer separately, I would prefer 2 in 1 products like this. Only downside is, I wish it had a slightly higher SPF.

See the swatches and more pictures of the tube.

Pros
-Lightweight texture with no sticky feel on application
-absorbs easily on blending.
-Mild fragrance.
-Sleek tube packaging.
-Does not clog pores or cause breakouts.
-doesn’t sweat in hot and humid weather

Cons
-Leaves a strong white cast on darker skin tones.
-not easily available
-contains parabens

Overall, a two in one product (sunscreen+moisturizer) . doesn’t leave a white cast if  blended properly. No sticky/ tacky feel on skin. absorbs easily and keep skin moisturized for some time. However, I wish  it came with a higher SPF :/

Will I repurchase: no ,  I won’t; I would rather go for sunscreens with higher SPF
