About this sunscreen
Dermatouch Matte Touch Sunscreen SPF 50 PA+++ is a hybrid formula combining titanium dioxide with a deep bench of modern chemical filters such as bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine and ethylhexyl triazone. It delivers a true matte finish, stays lightweight, and keeps white cast low, while being non-stinging and low on breakout risk. It performs excellently as a makeup base. With excellent protection and a strong 88/100, it is one of the standouts here.
