Best Facial Sunblock/Moisturizer on the Market |
| By Michael Broadus from Alexandria, VA
on 6/30/2010 |
| My wife and I travel to Mexico several times a year for a week or two and I need a really good facial moisturizer/sunblock. I read the review of the sunblock in GQ magazine and while I was skeptical at first, I must say that the Ti02 sunblock performance was absolutely incredible. I applied it after I showered in the morning and went all day in the sun and surf and not once did I burn. I actually thought about not using it one day so that I could get a little more sun on my face. After a couple of days I did notice that my face was tanning, not red or burned. I will never be without this product. |

Best Sunblock Under The Sun |
| By Eduardo from West Chicago, IL

| I use this product daily in the summer and it replaces my body lotion. It is non-greasy and quick absorbing. I just wish it would be cheaper and come in a bigger size! |

great sunblock, daily body lotion |
| By Ricky Chavez from El Paso, TX/Ciudad Juarez, Mexico
on 2/27/2010 8:02:00 AM |
| I used to live on the beach; the only time I used sunblock was when we went to lay out on the beach. Now I live in the middle of the dessert in El Paso, TX. The sun here is killer. I use sunblock everyday. I looked and looked for the best sunblock out there. I was looking for something non greasy, non smelly and something that I didnt have to reapply and reapply. I found it with this product. I use it as if it was body lotion. I feel good using it. Dont have to worry about the sun effects or anything else. |

Not an Ordinary Sunblock |
| By The Guy with Asian Skin from Alhambra, CA
on 2/26/2010 5:02:00 PM |
| This is the first product I use after I wash my face in the morning, I use it like a regular moisturizer, but this isn't just any moisturizer its a sunblock moisturizer, so you get better protection from the sun. It's non greasy unlike other sunblocks, and it moisturizes your face very great. This is probably my last moisturizer that I will ever buy to tell you the truth. Hmmm anything bad? You can basically use this product anywhere besides your face that needs sun protection in a daily basis. It'd be a shame to say something bad about a product that is this great! |

This is an excellent sunblock! |
| By Tony the HR Professional from Bahrain
on 2/26/2010 11:02:00 AM |
| I have oily skin so it is imperative that my sunblock does not exacerbate that condition. What I love about TiO2 Sunblock SPF 30 is that, apart from providing sun protection, it also acts as a moisturizer. So after I shower in the morning, I just apply this product and it takes care of my moisture and protection needs all day long. Now that I am in Bahrain in the Middle East where it is sunny and hot most months of the year, my need for protection is greater. Too bad they don't sell this product in Bahrain. I will find a way to get more of this sunblock. |

Hands down...best sunblock! |
| By Menscience Fan from Los Angeles, CA
on 7/29/2009 2:07:00 PM |
| I love the fact that it does not leave your face greasy or oily. Goes on with a matte finish and applies easily. I've always hated other sunblocks that leaves your face so oily and this one is the first one I've found that leaves your face feeling very natural with no scent.
Only con is I wish Menscience would increase the bottle size for this. |

This stuff is awesome! |
| By SlickBuyer from California
on 7/13/2009 1:07:00 PM |
| This stuff is great. I tried it out using the many samples that Menscience sends to you along with your purchase and I was very impressed the very first time I used it. When applying the sunscreen it is totally non-greasy and quickly absorbs into your skin almost like a moisturizing lotion! Because it did that, I was afraid that it was not going to be strong enough to last all day in the sun but I was wrong. This stuff lasted all day long on the golf course, a good 5 hours. This stuff is not sticky either like those spray on sun blocks you buy at the super market. And you don't have to use a lot to spread around on your body, it spreads very well! I will definitely buy a bottle of this stuff after I use up all the sample packs that I have. =) |

| I am very happy with this sunscreen. It does not shows on my face and it is really smooth. It took me a while to find a very good product like this one. I will buy it again once I finish the one I just got it. |

No Burn. No Smell! |
| By John from Springfield, TN
on 3/28/2009 10:03:00 PM |
| I bought this sunscreen in prep for a vacation trip. I used it on the beach and now I use it during my daily routine(which has me outside or in a car). The first thing I noticed when using it is that it doesn't have that nasty "hey I'm wearing sunscreen" smell. This sunscreen works really well. It doesn't feel like your face is covered in grease, and it absorbs rather quickly too. After a day at the beach under this protection I didn't feel like I had been through a toaster.
There are two things I don't like about it. If you leave it in the sun or in a hot vehicle it gets runny. Most sunscreens do that but it's still annoying. It is rather pricey for the amount. I am about 5'7, 125lbs and after two days on the beach I've used a good bit of it. |

A Excellent product |
| By BC from Denver, CO
on 1/13/2009 9:01:00 AM |
| I have used, (for years), another mens product, which was great, so I didn't think it could be improved on, but MenScience did. All their products are a must have if you are concerned about exposure to the outdoors. A little goes a Long way, so its not expensive at all, considering the purchase price.
The TIO2 sunblock is the best....try it. |

| FAQ: |
| |
|
Q: |
Is this a broad-spectrum sunscreen? |
A: |
Yes, TiO2 Sunblock SPF 30 provides protection against both ultraviolet rays type A and B (UVA/UVB). This is very important because both UVA and UVB can damage the skin and most sunscreens only provide protection over a limited spectrum of sun ray types. This product achieves an ultra-broad protection by combining several types of active ingredients for maximum and durable coverage. |
 |
Q: |
Will this product make my skin look white or shiny? |
A: |
No, it is an ultralight, oil-free product that absorbs into the skin immediately for a completely matte and clear finish. It is also free of fragrance and dyes, non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic. |
 |
Q: |
Should I use the highest SPF sunscreen I can find to protect my skin? |
A: |
In general, the higher the SPF factor, the higher the sun protection, but once you go beyond SPF 30, this difference is negligible and might actually be misleading; in fact, the FDA does not recognize SPF factors higher than SPF 30, which is generally recognized as maximum protection. It is also important to use a waterproof sunscreen like TiO2 Sunblock SPF 30 to give you maximum protection even when swimming or in wet and snowy environments. |
 |
Q: |
What is Titanium Dioxide? |
A: |
Also known as TiO2, it is an FDA-approved ingredient that deflects UV rays from the skin’s surface and complements other sunscreen ingredients for maximum sun blockage. Titanium Dioxide is the gold standard in sun protection and is superior to chemical-based ingredients because it actually provides a physical layer of protection, causing harmful rays to be deflected or reflected rather than absorbed by the skin. MenScience professional-grade TiO2 has been micronized so it will absorb immediately and will not leave any white residue. |
 |
Q: |
Does tanning clear up acne blemishes or scars? |
A: |
Sun exposure actually darkens existing scars and blemishes on the skin and some skin medications also increase skin’s sensitivity, making sunburns more likely. Definitely stay out of the sun if you have blemishes, scars or are using any skin medications. Because TiO2 Sunblock SPF 30 is ultralight and non-comedogenic, it is ideal for men’s skins that tend to be prone to having acne. |
 |
Q: |
How frequently should I apply the TiO2 Sunblock SPF 30? |
A: |
You should apply the product 20 minutes before going outside, then reapply regularly every 30 minutes after if you are exposed to the sun’s rays for a prolonged period of time or you are sweating heavily. |
 |
Q: |
Is Ti02 Sunblock appropriate for use on a shaved head? |
A: |
We would highly recommend you use the TiO2 Sunblock SPF 30 for your scalp; this will give you maximum protection and will not feel greasy/shiny at all. Plus, it is a waterproof formula. |
 |
Q: |
Do I need to use a sunscreen if I have darker skin? |
A: |
A common misconception about darker-toned skin is that it cannot burn or be damaged by the sun. Although darker skin contains more melanin (skin pigment) which offers greater protection against the sun’s rays, it is still at risk for a number of sun-related diseases. In fact, men with darker skin tones are often at a higher risk because it is often harder to detect changes in skin marks or discolorations. This means it may take longer for a person to seek treatment, by which time the damage could have spread even further. |
