About this sunscreen
Dermedic Neovisage Foundation SPF 50+ is a tinted foundation with sun protection, using a hybrid mix of chemical filters such as octocrylene, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate and Tinosorb M. It commonly wears with a balanced finish, low white cast and a lightweight feel, and is generally gentle with a low stinging and low pore-clogging rating that suits acne-prone skin. As a foundation it naturally doubles as a makeup base. With 76.7/100 and good protection, it is a capable two-in-one for everyday coverage.
