My Experience with Aroma Magic Cucumber Sunscreen SPF 30:
You all know how much I love Aroma Magic products and recently I picked up two sunscreens from Aroma Magic with SPF 15 and 30. I began using the SPF 30 sunscreen first as I’m using a pigmentation treatment cream at night which makes my skin more susceptible to sun damage and sun burn so I make sure I use a high SPF sunscreen. SPF 30 is enough but still not that high for my needs. I usually wear it while I’m at home and as it’s holiday season for me as I mostly bunk my college, I use it when I’m in house and while going out, I use a sunscreen with SPF 40 and above.
The instruction says to use it after shaking it as natural ingredients tend to separate. So, I always shake it for 3-4 seconds and while shaking, it almost feels like a liquid product, the cream sounds like liquid while shaking though it is creamy when poured out. The texture is creamy and quite runny with slightly heavy texture, by heavy I mean that it feels slight heavy on application.
It has a very mild refreshing fragrance which feels summery and pleasant.
Coming to how it behaves on application! The sunscreen takes few minutes to absorb properly, I keep on rubbing for like 3-4 minutes as I apply almost a tsp full of sunscreen, not that I measure my sunscreen in a spoon while applying :P but I have the idea of how much is a tsp and how much has to be applied on face to get maximum protection from the sun. It does not leave any whitish caste and absorbs nicely but cautious- it burns my eyes and makes them watery if I apply this sunscreen around my eyes. Yeah, the biggest drawback of such an herbal product, it makes my eyes watery and more problematic if I’m in the sun so I hesitate applying this sunscreen around my eye area. Some sunscreens do burn and makes eyes watery when applied around the eyes like Neutrogena dry touch shield SPF 50 (the amazing sunblock) it also burns the eyes and so dermatologist recommends not to apply it around eye area.
This sunscreen lotion feels slightly greasy on my dry skin so it’s totally a skip for oily skin, oily skin should try the other variants from this sunscreen range. It calms the skin, prevents me from tan and sun burn. Swatches:
No I’m not showing you my nerves :P I’m showing how soft and moisturized my skin looks after blending this sunscreen.

Do I Recommend Aroma Magic Cucumber Sunscreen SPF 30:
Yes, if you have dry skin, you should try it out as it’s all natural without any harmful chemical. You can completely skip it if you have oily skin.
This should work well on my combination to dry skin. I would pick this up next time :-D
Ya will work for you Laks, do pick it up mainly because its all natural and has good ingredients.
OKay first of all I have to say I love the packaging and I also love that it is a bit oily because I have dry skin. Nicely reviewed Arzoo.

Ya the packaging is so cute, see the tiny things on the sunscreen, it’s a girl in beach clothes, sunglasses, ball, umbrella, flip flops, etc. The packaging looks so unique and cute. Thank you Simera!
at first I was tempted to try this considering it has cucumber which gives cooling effect to the skin but I will skip this since I have super oily skin! thank you for the review babe .. you saved me from picking this up.. :*
Ya you should better skip it Mayuri as it tends to get oily after few minutes :)
I think not for summers as in summers i get combination to oily skin :(
but i love the packaging:)
Ya this would be great for winters though as it feels quite moisturizing and so would be great for dry skin in winters though doesn’t make a good one for oily and combination skin in summers.
I have not tried any product from their new line. This one looks decent for its price but nothing compares to Neutrogena Dry Touch :P
Nicely reviewed dear <3
Ya true Preeti, that’s a best sunblock for oily skin besides Lotus 3 in 1 matte sunblock, thank you!
U almost eat every sunscreen :P greasy? Better i ll skip it :D as always well reviewed…
Hehe no yaar, somehow the sunscreen tends to slide my lips and then into my mouth which gives me a bad taste and I have to gargle immediately to avoid that yucky feeling. Ya, it feels greasy so you better skip this one. Vaise bhi you have found a good sunblock for yourself, so no need to fall for all these unless I say that it’s best for oily skin :D
Hahaha… then there is some relationship between sunscreen and u.. first u r a sunscreen lover and second sunscreen glides into ur mouth easily so sunscreen too love u :D yeaaa… i am not going to change it unless its rainy season cuz i wanna pic something that wont wash off easily :D Sure i ll wait for ur reviews as u suggest d best for my skin :))
Hehe very funny :P sunscreen loves me :P would be coming up with few sunscreen reviews for oily skin.
See :P :P :P is thr any wash proof or waterproof resistant ?
Hehe there are many but I don’t think any sunscreen can be waterproof as they wash off with water so don’t believe on such terms as water proof but a sunscreen can def be sweat proof.
Oh sweat proof? Wow thats a grt thing for me.. then its helpless in rainy season :(
I dont have even a sinlge product from blossom kochar… really need to buy one.. Nice review hun :)
Thanks Urvashi, do buy some products from Aroma Magic, you’ll love them :)
Best for dry skin! Nicely reviewed dear :) xo happy sunday

I do not like oily greasy sunscreens..:( but this seems a good option for dry skins…..i love my Loreal UV perfect even complexion sunsreen!

Looks so good but not for me as I have super oily skin :( Hope the SPF 15 one would be non-oily :D :D Lovely review and clicks Arzoo :))
Thank you Arpita, don’t know about the SPF 15 one as I haven’t used it yet, but hope that doesn’t turn greasy or oily.
Looks like a good option for dry skin but mine is combination to oily…I guess I better skip this one…very nicely reviewed Arzoo…:-)
Thanks Rashmi, ya you better skip it if your skin is oily :)

My skin is allergenic to sunscreen lotions!! :-(( Awesome review and pics dear.. :D :-))
love the cutsy packaging…i have normal skin so i will give this a try
thanks for such a great review but this product is not for me because my skin is oily.
Hey ! It was a great review 😁…. i have normal skin .. not very dry not very oily … but i tend to sweat a lot on my face … so will this suncreen with spf 30 make me sweat a hell lot more or can i still use it .. if not … which one from this range do you suggest for my sweat problem?
You should try out the Lotus matte gel SPF 50 as it’s light weight and sweat proof! Xoxo
