Customer Reviews of Fallene Total Block UVA/UVB Complete Full Spectrum Sun Protection, SPF 65 Clear, 2 fl Ounces (59 ml)

Customer Review: I have to apply foundation over it to return my skin to its natural color.
Summary: 4 Stars

This product was recommended by my dermatologist after my Thermage treatment (much better than a facelift and much cheaper, too!). It's a good product, but the only drawback is that the zinc oxide in it (which probably gives it the high SPF #) leaves my skin with a whitish cast. I have to apply foundation over it to return my skin to its natural color. Perhaps next time I'll try the tinted version of the product...I've been using the Neutrogena Ultra-Sheer Dry Touch sunblock which smells great and is instantly absorbed.

Customer Review: It gives great protection...
Summary: 5 Stars

This product was first introduced by a friend a couple of years back but was told only sold by exclusive distributor so I continued using products I found from various cosmetic lines and drug stores. Last fall I found it on the net and been using it everyday. It gives great protection, serves as foundation and unlike others, it's non-greasy. I strongly recommend this product to those who seek high SPF protection.

Customer Review: I live in Florida and this product was recommended by my Dermatologist.
Summary: 4 Stars

I live in Florida and this product was recommended by my Dermatologist. I found it on Amazon.com and ordered it immediately. I find it works very well, the only drawback is that is is tinted and often rubs off on my clothes especially since I have to apply it to the back of my neck. Today I found and purchased Fallene Total Block CLEAR Sunblock, SPF 65 and I am anxious to try it! Either way, Fallene makes a wondeful product for people like me who are so sensitive to the sun.

Customer Review: And i used even on the cloudy day.
Summary: 5 Stars

I love this product, and my skin is becoming so smooth and and even tone after i have used this product for six months. And i used even on the cloudy day. It seems it totally blocking my sskim from the sunlight and helps my skin rejuvenated somehow.

Customer Review: However...
Summary: 5 Stars

I live in California and have very fair skin (blond hair, blue eyes). Most sunblocks I have tried have not worked as promised, even those recommended by my dermatologist (I've tried MD Forte, Solaray, Solbar, and many others - from the cheap stuff to the expensive brands). I have found in the past that even when I apply 30-60 SFP sunscreens during the day, I still get some color in my cheeks - the issue with year-round sunny climates is that even when you are going about your day, driving and shopping and so forth, you are exposed to damaging sun. In addition, I have an indulgence -- I love to bicycle at the beach during the daytime on occasion. Nothing worked until I tried Fallene. It is not a miracle product...I'm sure that if I was in the sun 8 solid hours and applied this product every 2 hours, I would still get a tiny amount of color. However, the WATERPROOF Fallene product works like a charm for the 2-hour bicycle rides - seriously, I get NO color, and the regular SPF 68 product works beautifully for all-day year-round protection. It is the first time I have ever been satisfied with a sunscreen. I like that it is thick, because a little goes a long way. I also can prone to break out, and I have had no problems with this product. Very high quality. If you're fair-skinned, this is the only thing that will work. Be sure to shop around on the internet, as you can get good discounts on it.

Description of Fallene Total Block UVA/UVB Complete Full Spectrum Sun Protection, SPF 65 Clear, 2 fl Ounces (59 ml)

Dermatologist recommended. Non-comedogenic, oil-free. UVA - Same Everyday: UVA radiation, unlike UVB, is consistently the same all day long, all year long. UVA rays present the same damaging effects to the skin in December as they do in July. UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin than UVB, and are believed by many physicians to be more harmful, which is why patients with sun sensitivity require daily, year round complete protection. Total Block 65 has been specifically formulated for individuals who require full spectrum protection from the sun's damaging effects. Total Block contains a complete cellular and photoprotective system. SPF - Not Enough: SPF is not an accurate determination of a sunscreen's capability of protection from the sun's harmful rays. It is only an indication of protection from one wavelength of light, UVB. It does not indicate protection from UVA rays, which are responsible for deeper damage, including tanning, wrinkles, pigmentation changes and premature skin aging. Currently, there is no rating system for UVA protection. Made in USA.
Fallene Total Block Clear SPF 65 is a highly effective sunscreen product formulated with photo-protective and cellular-protective agents that are beneficial to the skin. Total Block is unique in its ability to protect skin from the full light spectrum and prevent cellular environmental damage to the skin, regardless of the source of the pollutants. Incorporating eight forms of mill-dispersed solids -- ranging in controlled particle size from 10 microns down to a few nanometers -- Total Block achieves maximum protection throughout the entire UVB and UVA range. These particles are homogeneously suspended and work to shield the skin from atmospheric damage and trauma. Micronized and sub-micronized particles of titanium dioxide, sub-micronized zinc oxide, and ultra-micronized iron oxide form the foundation of this powerful, effective sunscreen.

The Total Block Clear SPF 65 offers:
  • Full-spectrum sun protection.
  • Combined multiple particle sizes of titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and iron oxide.
  • Special formula that is perfect for photo-sensitive individuals.


Fallene Total Block Clear SPF 65 sunscreen combines multiple particle sizes of titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and iron oxide to offer excellent full-spectrum protection.
The Full-Spectrum Sun Protection
Fallene, Ltd. produces the most complete full spectrum sun protection available. Total Block Clear SPF 65, Cotz SPF 58, Lipcotz SPF 45, and Total Block Tinted SPF 60, all combine multiple particle sizes of micronized titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and iron oxide to form a complete barrier from the light spectrum, including UVA/UVB.

The Total Block Clear SPF 65, as well as the other Fallene products, are specially designed for photo-sensitive individuals, but are perfect for anyone concerned about maintaining healthy skin and promoting the integrity of their immune system.

The Dangers of UVB Wavelengths
SPF rating does not adequately measure protection from all the damaging radiation effects of light. SPF is only a determination of protection from one specific wavelength of ultraviolet radiation, the UVB (290nm - 320nm). Unfortunately, there is no currently approved standard to rate the quality of a sunscreen's UVA protective capabilities. UVA (320nm - 400nm) is the deeper penetrating wavelength that is more often associated with skin changes, such as wrinkling, pigmentation, and long term damage. The SPF rating system does not accurately or completely define a sunscreen's protective capabilities from harmful ultraviolet radiation, except the UVB wavelength.

UVB creates a red, painful irritation first experienced during early sun exposure, but UVB is not the only ultraviolet wavelength damaging to the skin. In fact, UVB has only a minimal effect upon the deeper depth of skin. UVB and UVA radiation are both recognized as causing skin cancer, and SPF 30 protection is just not enough.

Direct Physical Photoblockers Benefits
Most of the physical photoblockers are naturally occurring metal compounds (iron, chromium, zinc, titanium, etc), although some, such as bismuth, are man-made. In addition to their photo-protective attributes, these substances also assist in preventing windburns and skin damage from wind-driven micro-particles, such as dirt and grime. These physical blockers also offer a substantial defense against infrared rays in two ways.



Winter, spring, summer or fall -- no matter what the season, Lipcotz SPF 45 protects your skin from harmful rays.


Minimize wrinkling, skin-damage, and photo-aging with Fallene sun-protection products.
First, particles that are large enough to be seen, i.e. the reflect visible light, will also reflect and refract infrared waves that are the most harmful to the skin (760nm - 1,800nm). Second, regardless of particle size, these metal-based materials act as a "heat sink" and thereby reduce the heat effect on the skin.

Titanium Dioxide: Absorbs Light and Protects Skin
This white-pigment powder is widely used in cosmetics. Products containing large-particle titanium have a greater opacity, which means they have greater lightening or whitening qualities. Opaque titanium dioxide is highly reflective and strongly scatters all UV and visible rays. It also reflects much of the skin-damaging infrared waves, keeping skin cooler and reducing "heat" damage that causes unwanted photo-aging.

To photo-stabilize titanium dioxide it must be micro-coated with a protectant, such as silicone or aluminum oxide. Since titanium dioxide spreads poorly on the skin, another way to inhibit its breakdown is to incorporate titanium dioxide with other blockers. To achieve cosmetic elegance and usefulness, microcoating the titanium dioxide assures a good, even application to the skin. A downside of large-particle titanium dioxide products is that they produce a white, opaque appearance on the skin when applied. However, submicronizing the titanium dioxide powder, as Fallene does, creates small particles that absorb visible light and protect the skin, but they're still invisible on the skin, so you're not covered in embarrassing white salve.

Transparent (sub-micronized) titanium dioxide works by absorbing, reflecting and scattering UVB and some UVA rays. However, protection against UV, visible and infrared is significantly limited when submicronized titanium dioxide is the primary protectant.

Zinc Oxide: Extends Photo-Protection
Zinc Oxide has been known and used topically for centuries as a skin protectant and wound-healing adjuvant and is also recognized as a mild antimicrobial agent. More than 50 years ago, zinc oxide was indicated as a block for ultraviolet light (UVB/UVA). It also reflects infrared from the skin, as does titanium dioxide. However, its ability to protect in the long UVA range (300nn - 400nm) is much higher than titanium dioxide. Zinc oxide absorbs, rather than scatters, most UVA, while titanium dioxide primarily scatters these wavelengths. Thus, formulated in combination with titanium dioxide, ultra-fine zinc oxide "closes the window" in the UVA range. Zinc oxide works to both complement titanium dioxide's protection and extend photo-protection to the skin where titanium dioxide is insufficient. The optimal particle size range for ultraviolet blocking zinc oxide (without blocking visible wavelengths) is approximately 80 to 150 nanometers (1,000 nanometers = 1 micron).

Iron Oxides: Adds Color and Complements Primary UV Blocking Agents
Iron oxide is used in a wide array of cosmetics to provide cover-up color. Cosmetic iron oxides are manufactured to a high purity, desired color and particle size.

Iron oxide pigments for cosmetic use are micronized powders. They are available in a number of shades and tones of red, yellow, black and brown. These cosmetic pigments, if incorporated at adequate concentration and properly dispersed, not only add color, but they also provide significant skin protection from multiple wavelengths of light.

Ultra-submicronized iron oxides protect against visible light waves, but also add a little color to the finished product. This allows for the addition of higher levels of infrared protecting iron oxides, while retaining the cosmetic elegance and shade of the final preparation. Submicronized iron oxides block ultraviolet rays, which is a great complement to the primary UV blocking agents.
