I have been trying out this DDF Protect and Correct moisturizing UV lotion, $58.00. DDF is a line that I have not used before, but have heard of it and the good quality products that they are.
DDF was created by famed dermatologist Dr. Howard Sobel, who has been practicing for more than 25 years in the field and using modern technology and cosmetic skin care to help keep women looking fabulous.
This particular product is meant to help recreate the radiance of your youth by evening out your skin tone, diminish brown spots and prevent future damage by containing SPF 15 to protect from UVA/UVB rays.
If you know anything about my history, you know I am all for SPF protection and especially products that are formulated for both UVA and UVB protection, so this gets a plus right there. The texture of this is a nice, medium weight lotion (not too sheer, not too heavy) that glides on smoothly. It is not tacky feeling like some products with sunscreen can be.
However, after using it for about 4 days, my skin started to break out everywhere. I was upset that this happened, because I really thought it would be my everyday, daytime moisturizer, more so than being upset about breaking out. Now, mind you, this was not full blown acne I got from this. No, it was more like the little bumps all over before you get acne or from using something that your skin just doesn’t agree with. After I quit using it, within 36 hours my skin had settled down and was back to normal.
I have always said, what works for me, might not work for you, and vice versa. So I still would give it a try if you can get ahold of a sample, because like I said, the texture and weight of it is so nice that I thought it would be a fabulous daytime moisturizer.
