About this sunscreen
Deconstruct Detan Sunscreen Body Lotion SPF 50 Pa+++ is a chemical body lotion using older-generation filters including Benzophenone-3 alongside added niacinamide and kojic acid dipalmitate. It feels lightweight with a balanced finish and very low white cast, though it can sting a little on sensitive skin. With a score of 60.1 out of 100 and moderate protection, it is a reasonable everyday body option but not a standout, and the dated filter set holds it back.

Is Deconstruct Detan SPF 50 a mineral or chemical sunscreen?
It is chemical. It uses older-generation filters including Benzophenone-3, alongside added niacinamide and kojic acid dipalmitate, with no mineral filters.
Is the Deconstruct Detan Sunscreen Body Lotion - 4% Niacinamide +1% Kojic Acid Dipalmitate + SPF 50 Pa+++ good for oily or acne-prone skin?
It can work. Breakout-trigger is rated low and the finish is balanced and lightweight, though it may sting a little on sensitive skin.
Is it a good sunscreen?
It is middling. It scores 60.1 out of 100 with moderate protection, so it is fine for everyday body use but the dated filter set keeps it from standing out.
