About this sunscreen
Dermoskin Sun Protection Cream is a sunscreen blending mineral Titanium Dioxide with older-generation chemical filters such as Octocrylene and Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane. It has a dewy finish with a moderate risk of visible white cast and can sting somewhat near the eyes. It is generally low on pore-clogging but performs poorly as a base under makeup. With good protection but a lower score of 61.4/100, it is a middling choice best for those who want a dewy, hydrating feel.
