About this sunscreen
Dermatica Ray Tint SPF 43 is a tinted chemical sunscreen built on older-generation filters, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, avobenzone, and octocrylene. The tint helps it wear with a balanced finish and low white cast, and it is lightweight with a low pore-clogging profile, though it may commonly sting somewhat near the eyes. SPF 43 gives moderate measured protection with okay makeup layering. The score of 64.2/100 reflects a reasonable tinted daily sunscreen held back by older filter chemistry.
