Azur sunscreen? Yeah I tried it – it is really pasty and doesnt rub in well. It also leaves a filmy, not very pleasant coating on the skin. I couldn’t apply makeup over it either. I was so disappointed in the quality of Azur.

Azur also contains Titanium (not just zinc) and a number of other ingredients that aren’t really very good for you. It is another one of those companies jumping on the “healthy” bandwagon – but which aren’t really healthy at all…. I like to think of them as the pretend health-conscuous products. Like the chinese food labeled as “no MSG that contains glutamate instead – well, duh…)

…There is a lot better out there…

Azur, Ive tried that. It is really greasy. It doesnt rub in well and has an odd feel to it. Some of the chemicals it uses arent really very good for you either, but aside from that it just has a natsty thick feel to it.

Jrzygirl,
I haven’t heard of Azur. I just looked at the site and the sunscreen moisturizers look like they might be good because they contain Zinc Oxide. But I couldn’t find a list of the exact ingredients, or the percentage of the sunscreen ingredients, so it’s hard to say if the products are good or not.

Hi Jeni,
I was wondering if you ever heard of Azur (www.azurskin.com) and their anti-aging SPF 30 or 40 moisturizer? If so, would you recommend their ingredients?

Jrzygrl,
I have the Glycolix sunscreen, and it’s good. I forgot I had it, but used it today. It has a very slight white cast to it, but when I mixed a little foundation in with it, it was fine. It dries with a matte finish. On my skin, the Shiseido has a matte finish as well, but this is slightly more matte on my skin – but I do have dry skin. It’s definitely more matte than most of the sunscreens I have, but I am not sure how well it would do on oily skin.

Have you ever tried Glycolix Elite Sunscreen SPF 30? It contains 17% zinc oxide along with some antioxidants. I’m not sure about the other ingredients but I was thinking about giving this a try since the Shiseido one makes my skin oily under makeup. I was also considering the DDF matte one but it doesn’t contain zinc oxide. The drawback on the Glycolix one is that it’s expensive – $25.00 for only 1.6 oz….yikes!

I love the Shiseido SPF 55 and have used it for a couple years; I’ve recently purchased the new Prescriptives All Weather Friend (SPF 40) and like that too. It’s lighter than the Shiseido and no white cast.
