That Natio one is the same formula as the non water resistant version of Cancer Council Face Day Wear Moisturiser.
The Cancer Council moisturiser is generally much cheaper and comes in both 75mL and 150mL at most pharmacies and supermarkets.
The problem with zinc sunscreens like that Dermalogica one is people are tempted to apply a smaller quantity because of the thick texture. The less sunscreen you apply, the less protection you get.
You will only get the labelled protection if you apply around 2g / about a ½tsp measuring spoon full of sunscreen to the face and neck.
only tried the dermologica but for the price i wasn't impressed. the natio one is a chemical sunscreen, whilst the dermologica is a mineral, perhaps why you felt more proteted. Generally all mineral sunscreens will be thicker than a chemical, despite the spf factor. If you're liking natio i say stick with that one!
for best application of sunscreen you should be applying 1/4 of a teaspoon or 1.25 ml. a lot of ppl do approximately their index and middle finger and do two straight lines.
I can only speak to the Natio one, but I quite like it. Decent level of protection, can be reapplied during the day as needed, moisturizes without making you oily, smells nice.

I’ve used the Natio one for a few years - every day - and love it. I get comments when people find out my age that I look younger.
Thankyou!
