About this sunscreen
Cien Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Day Cream is a moisturizer with built-in sun protection, combining titanium dioxide with modern chemical filters like Ethylhexyl Triazone and Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, so it reads as a mineral and chemical hybrid. It keeps white cast low, wears with a balanced finish, and feels lightweight, and its low pore-clogging profile is generally agreeable to most skin types. The SPF level is not specified on this line, but protection is rated excellent. With a score of 80.7/100 it is a solid daily day cream.
