Can someone tell me, other than the SPF numbers, what the difference is between Obagi's Healthy Skin Protection SPF35 and Physical UV Block SPF32?

Thanks!!

The Heathly skin protection has zinc oxide and also a chemical sunscreen in it. It is quite nice to use and after having an initial white cast after applying it sinks in.

The Pysical SPF 32 sunscreen is zinc oxide only (18.5%) and leaves much more of a white cast on the face from what I have found.

I think it is almost the same as the SPF is close.
It depends whether you like its texture.
I'd prefer the Healthy skin protection.

If you can stand the thick texture and you don't sweat too much, then the spf32 is a better sunblock IMHO. Paula Begoin does not rave about Obagi products but she does say that the spf 32 is an excellent sunblock.

I like the fact that the Healthy skin protection, is not that greasy and does not have that sunblock smell. I think is works great.
