About this sunscreen
Bielenda Professional Post Treatment Care Cover Cream SPF 25 is a soothing tinted face cream using a mineral-modern hybrid of Titanium Dioxide and Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol (Tinosorb M). It has a balanced finish with low white cast and a lightweight feel, and its low breakout-trigger rating is generally friendly to sensitive, reactive skin. It scores 83.0/100, one of the highest here, with good protection and a disqualifying flag. Note the SPF 25 rating means it is lighter sun cover than an SPF 50 product.
