About this sunscreen
Aveil SPF 50 Gel is a chemical gel aimed at normal-to-oily skin, built on an older-school blend of Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane (Avobenzone), Benzophenone-3 (Oxybenzone) and Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid. It wears lightweight with a balanced finish and a low white cast, and it is generally pore-friendly with an okay makeup base. Sweat-and-sting behavior is moderate. Rated protection is moderate and the score is 56/100, so it is a basic option that trails more modern SPF 50 gels.
