Total Block Face UVA/UVB Complete Broad Spectrum Sun Protection, SPF 60 Tinted, 2 fl Ounces (59 ml)

I have bought this product for two reasons, one I have lupus and cannot be in the sun and two I have melisma from my adrenal gland being sluggish. While I always am in the shade, wear a hat, etc etc I break out with everything. So I really just wanted something I could put above my lip for the melisma and the rest of my body I am good with using other sunscreen. I cannot use this product all over my face, or I should say I am not willing to try it, as my face is very sensitive to everything in past I have tried to use. I use bare minerals foundation powder with spf 15. So I didn't even have to add any colors. I am fair skinned, dark hair. It was a really good blend but I did feel it could have hidden that melisma look a little better but I may have to fool around with the color. I added one drop of dark to a very small part of product and it was too dark. It did feel heavy and it did show every wrinkle and I have none above my lip. So I tried putting Aveeno moisturizer spf 35 on top and it looked better when I did this. I am not sure if putting a moisturizer under it will help and I fear that putting something under it may not give you that full protection. I figure putting it over wouldn't be a big deal. I then let it dry for about 10 minutes and put a light part of bare mineral over and it will need to be a light brush over it otherwise it may look too orange. All in all, I believe this will be a good product !

I've used Fallene Total Block SPF 60 tinted for 8 months.Pro:- Easy to use. Just follow the instruction and mix the white sunscreen that comes with the product until it matches your skin tone.- It does what it claims. No color, no sunburn after a tennis game under sizzling sun at NOON in SOUTH FLORIDA. A-mazing!- Looks natural. I use it as foundation after moisturizer. My skin "absorbs" it fairly quickly, unlike some other foundations kinda "float" on my skin. It gives a very natural look and an illusion that I don't wear any make up. This product brightens my skin instantly and gives me an energetic look. (I'm Asian so my skin is a bit yellow and looks a bit tired). Again this product does the effect and still looks very natural.- It stays!! whole day!! Even after a tennis game in hot humid south Florida! It works wayyy better than those high-end, pricy foundation. (i.e. Channel, Shiseido)- Economic. Just a few drops and it covers whole face.Con:- Dry. This product is dry and it's hard to apply it onto my skin, even though I use moisturizer before it. I don't want to mix it with the moisturizer because that will decrease SPF.- Causes acnes. It's a huge problem. In the end I abandoned this product because of it. Shame. I have a very healthy skin and I never had any acne problem in my entire life, not even in puberty. I noticed some acnes appeared on my skin after starting using this product. I didn't mind at the beginning (I thought it must be because of sweat as I started playing tennis. And the acnes were just little ones and just one or two at a time). Until several months later, I realized I have this acne problem for months! They just keep coming and coming, here and there. To the point that I really fed up! "What happened to my healthy behaved skin!?" I started examine all my skin products and I found out Total Block was the only new thing. I stopped using it and the acnes were gone.All in all, I really like this product except it causes acnes. I am an outdoor activities lover and I love this product as a great sunscreen, stays all day, and looks very natural. (As it will look very weird to wear make up when hiking in mountains and rural sites, but hey, i still wanna look good on the pictures!) Now I kinda use it on and off cuz it always brings me acnes. It's a shame.Can anyone please let me know if you have the same problem? I saw other reviews said it doesn't cause breakouts but it seems more of the reviewers used the clear one. I really like this product but don't know what to do with the acnes. I used makeup remover to clean it but that did not help. Anyone knows how to tackle? Otherwise I'll have to look for other products..

I ordered and used the "clear" Total Block last summer and while it worked fine, it did lend a somewhat pale affect to the face. I had read all the rave reviews on Amazon about this product, and I must say it lives up to the hype. I do set it with powder, there are no claims to water-resistance or long-wearing; it feels silky smooth and the color is virtually perfect for me, right out of the bottle! The color as-is seems to be a light honey after shaking well; there are two bottles of pigment to lighten or darken to your preference, and instructions are included. I haven't added any of the color yet; could see myself adding a drop of darkening as the summer progresses. It offers full-coverage, but somehow does not draw attention to my over-40 lines, and I don't usually need to wear concealer, the coverage is that good. I tan easily all over, but get the ugliest dark blotches on my jawline and upper lip if I don't keep heavy duty SPF on all the time. Even the texture is leathery, whereas my unaffected skin is smooth. So, I use PCA Phaze 13 which works wonders to reduce the discoloration and texture of the affected skin, then I put this product on, and don't have to put make up on top of it! In Texas, where it is 100+ degrees already, I need as few layers as possible.

I have ordered this product from different sources for my mother who has used the Fallene Total Block consistently for the last 5 years. Mom has always LOVED the coverage and look it has provided for her face, neck and arms. This time she had me order 10 bottles because as she explained, "at 85 years of age, she needs all of the help she can get!" However, she did not open any of the bottles until she needed to use today and the product was very thick and almost dried to the point she could barely get any out of the bottle to use. The product she has received in the past is very creamy and pours out of the bottle easily. She shook all of the remaining bottles and it felt like a rock was inside. All of the bottles are obviously old product. Unfortunately, I attempted to return and the 30 day return policy had just expired. My advice to anyone buying this, SHAKE THE BOTTLES FOR AN EASY FLOW OF LIQUID IF IT IS THICK ALMOST LIKE CHUNKS OF MATERIAL SHAKING INSIDE, RETURN IMMEDIATELY BEFORE PRODUCT RETURN RUNS OUT.
