About this sunscreen
Bulldog Anytime Daily Moisturiser SPF 30 is a chemical sunscreen-moisturiser using octocrylene, ethylhexyl salicylate, and avobenzone. It wears with a balanced finish, stays lightweight, and keeps white cast low. It may sting more than some, so keep it away from the eyes, but it is generally low pore-clogging. The score of 68.2 with moderate protection makes it a casual daily moisturiser rather than a high-SPF standout.
