M Lab Anti-Aging Day Treatment SPF 15

No anti-aging line would be complete without the ultimate anti-aging product, a sunscreen! It is by far and away the most important thing you can do for your skin. We all need to wear sunscreen everyday, and if it is included in your day time moisturizer I think we are all much more likely to actually use it!

Overall this is a great product. The lotion is nice and light, it sinks almost immediately into my skin and is just the right amount of moisture for my combination skin without turning me into a greasy mess. There is only a faint smell of sunscreen with this product and that fades pretty quickly.

You can see from the ingredient list below that like all of the other M Lab products this lotion contains a huge amount of anti-aging ingredients such as anti-oxidants, amino acids and the like. The sunscreen protection is broad spectrum, though the Avobenzone/Octinoxate combination is a bit less stable than it would have been with Octocrylene to stabilize the Avobenzone. Really, that is a very picky point and it really is the only bad thing I can find to say!

Overall, a great product.
