Jovees Premium Sun Shield Protective Lotion SPF 40 PA+++ : Review
Hello All 🙂
I was looking for a product that would moisturize the skin as well as give me sun protection. As I absolutely hate layering product. Having used Jovees Serum in the past, I thought of giving Jovees Premium Sun Shield Protective Lotion SPF 40 PA+++ product a try. It was a blind pick from the alley of sunscreen online..lol Lets move onto the review of it.
Picture heavy and word heavy post..oopsie 😀
Price: 415INR for 50ml
Active Ingredients : Citrus fruit, Red grape extract, Aloe vera extract, Carrot seed oil, Wheatgerm oil, Witch hazel extract, Bilberry fruit extract.
What does Jovees say about the product:
My Experience with Jovees Premium Sun Shield Protective Lotion:
Packaging: The Sun Shield Protective Lotion bottle came in a paper type box which has all the details in it. The bottle has a pump type packaging which functions very well and has a transparent cap. Both the bottle and cap is made of plastic and it’s very light. I have been travelling with it ever since I got this and its very user friendly.
Texture/Scent : The texture/consistency is Creamy liquid type. The lotion has a pale tint to it, it is not prominent, but its not white or cream. It has a floraly scent. The typical Ponds powder scent. It goes away in a minute and it’s nothing bothersome.
Performance: The pale tint the sunscreen lotion has, slightly evens out the skintone. The lotion gets absorbed by the skin in no time. One pump is all you need, at least what I need. More than that it overly moisturizes my oily skin, leading it to become oily in no time and also leaving a white cast for the next 45 minutes. So apply the right amount and massage it on the skin. After the application it gives a matte finish, after about half an hour the face turns slightly dewy, slight sheen even with the powder on top. I am okay with it , since I have this matte centric makeup, it gives a nice look to face. I have used this alone, mixed this with the BB cream/foundation and under the foundation and it has worked really well. After about 3-4 hours the face turns oily and I go ahead and reapply this. Which is what we are suppose to do with when it comes to sunscreen. So it is fine.
I usually take my time when it comes to reviewing a skincare product. But this product, this product was put to test the moment it landed on my doorsteps exactly 2 weeks ago. I had lot of running errands to do in the last 2 weeks under the sun. So I have been wearing this and reaching home without a tan. And trust me I was under hot sun, under the merciless sun, my shadow also will curse me type of sun. You get the scene right? It really does protect the skin from skin damage and prevents tan.
In addition to that it never really irritated my skin, no breakouts nothing. Does not come out of the skin while working out. No sweating after the application. Since the Active Ingredients listed are really good, this sunscreen gives a healthy looking plump skin.
Pros
Priced nicely, Travel friendly pump packaging, Matte finish which turns into dewy finish, protects the skin against the skin damage, SPF 40, Has a pale tint, Works as
a moisturizer , Did not break me out, No sweating post application, no stickiness.
Cons
Some might not like the dewiness it gives, dry skin might need a moisturizer, Over application leads to white cast, only Active Ingredients listed
Last words:
It meets the requirements I have, moisturizes the skin while protecting the skin against the sun. It gets a thumbs up from me. I have oily skin and it works fine on
me. Girls with extremely oily skin might not like the dewiness and dry skin girls might need a moisturizer during winters. The one thing which stood out for me was no
stickiness and no sweating post application. Do give this a try if you are okay with the price. Overall a good product.
Meanwhile the Awkward situation that happened Last week.
While I was waiting for something where my car was parked, I dotted this on the face and blindly massaged the product on the face without the use of mirror. And guess
what I had audience and dint know. That elder couple had the confused look I ever seen. They had this expression on face “ What on earth is she doing” 😛
Have you spotted this? Which is your favorite sunscreen right now?

LOL it has so often happened with me that I’d be checking out my hair in a car’s window later realizing that it isn’t vacant from inside *Awkward* :’-D
Such things have happened to me too 😀 :’D
Looks promising. Will try this sunscreen. Am currently using the Lotus Herbals one…
Lotus has been my all time fav 🙂
You know what I have realized? That apna Indian brands are so much better for our skin than foreign brands 😀 I love Lotus, Jovees and Himalaya whose products always suit our weather conditions, whereas most of the foreign brands (which are exorbitantly pricey too!) seem to react the most with our skin! Just an observation 😀 I think I did use Jovees sunscreen some couple of years ago and it was good, now I have been hooked to Lotus for so long..think I will try this out just for a much needed change 😀 Lovely review as always ♥
Oh,also,the ‘awkward incident’ left me rolling on the floor 😀 😛 😀 You are just like me, doing monkey things in public *my mom’s words* 😛 😀 😛
You are right. I use a toner from Botique and I have been using these natural Indian brands . I randomly pick them up but end up picking them up. Yeah I have been a loyal one to Lotus too, just wanted a change and been loving the change. Thanks so much Richa 🙂
:’D hehe monkey things =)) True that
This goes straight to my cart 🙂 My shadow will curse me kinda sun LOL… akward moment happened with me as well, I took out my kajal and applied it without mirror and tightlined and I had an audience I didn’t realise about 😛
😀 Its good
heheh… they must have thought the same, why is she torturing herself =))
It sounds like a decent product and love its pump packaging.
GlamupGirls
Yeah even I love the packaging 🙂
The packaging is quite good. Nice review. I often forget to use sunscreen 🙁
Me too. Thats why I try picking up 2-1 products 🙂
Glad to hear that it worked so well for you! I really like the packaging!
I love it too. Though affordable they have taken care of it well 🙂
I have never tried any Joved product till now.. may be I should start with this sunscreen first but the whitish cast :O Nice review and that last part 😀 I so get that stares you get 😀
yeah, but one pump is all you need. They do have some nice products I too gotta explore more.
Hehe 😀
Glad that it did not break you out! Most of the sunscreens break out on my skin!
yeah 🙁 I have had that probelm too
Nice review. Thanks for sharing.
Your welcome 🙂
Never heard of this brand but looks like a nice product.
Its been there from long, this is the first time I am trying it 🙂

When it comes to sunscreen, I always picked Lotus one! This Jovees sunscreen saves you from tanning? Brilliant job ya 🙂 🙂 It seems really worth to try!
Yeah me too. Only now I wanted to change.
Yeah, even I was surprised, I mean it isn’t exorbitantly priced.
Yeah worth a try 🙂
my all-time fav is the lotus 3-in-1 but i am keeping this in mind after ur review 🙂 great pictures!
Yeah I have used it and liked it 🙂 Yeah do try
I would love this as it gives matte finish and helping your skin from getting tan:) Nice review 🙂
Thanks Shwetali 🙂
Seems nice !! Non sticky and sweatproof is something I seek in my sunscreened. Have not explored thus brand much . Recently got a strawberry face wash from this line.
PS: I laughed to tears on your awkward story . Esp mention of elder couple as I was just oodles by a pair while clicking pictures for blog.?
Lovely review and uh mazing story.
Yeah, many sunscreen end up bringing sweat on face. I need to try some.
hehe.. They must be like what on earth is happening, Are they human =))
Thanks <3
Such a must buy for me. “my shadow also will curse me type of sun” ROFL
=))
Being a lotion it’s surprising that it gave a matte finish. Also the higher SPF is too good.
Yeah 🙂 Good product.
I have used the carrot sun block lotion from Jovees and it was good too. Will check this one too. Nice review Swathi.
Thanks Safi 🙂
