About this sunscreen
Dermatouch 1% Hyaluronic Acid Sunscreen SPF 50 Pa++++ is a chemical sunscreen combining Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane (avobenzone) and Benzophenone-3 (oxybenzone), with added hyaluronic acid for a more hydrating feel. It has a balanced finish, stays lightweight and shows no notable white cast, though it may sting if it gets into the eyes. The filter blend is old-school, and oxybenzone is a filter some shoppers prefer to avoid. Good protection and a 63.1/100 score make it a mid-tier daily option.
