About this sunscreen
Céleteque Dermoscience Suncare Facial Moisturizer With SPF 15 is a chemical sunscreen using an older-school combination of ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, avobenzone and titanium dioxide. It has a dewy finish, a low white cast and a lightweight feel, and does not commonly sting. It is generally low on pore-clogging risk. Protection is only moderate at SPF 15, so it suits low-exposure days, and the score of 67.7/100 reflects its light, everyday positioning.
