About this sunscreen
Detoxie Anti-Pollution & Uv Filter, Glow Boost Day Cream is an SPF 25 chemical day cream built on older-generation filters: ethylhexyl salicylate, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, and benzophenone-3. It has a balanced finish, stays lightweight, keeps white cast low, and is generally low on pore-clogging risk, so it sits comfortably under daily routines. The filter mix is dated and the SPF is modest at 25. With weak protection and a score of 49 out of 100, it reads as a light glow cream rather than a serious sun-protection choice.

Does Detoxie Glow Boost Day Cream leave a white cast?
No, white cast is low. It is a chemical SPF 25 cream with a balanced finish, so it blends in clear without a mineral residue.
Is this good for oily or acne-prone skin?
It is generally low on pore-clogging risk and stays lightweight with a balanced finish, so it is reasonable for oily or acne-prone skin. As always, patch test if your skin reacts easily.
Is Detoxie Glow Boost a good sunscreen?
It scores 49 out of 100, which is on the low side. The SPF is only 25 and the protection rates as weak with older filters, so it works better as a light glow day cream than as serious sun protection.
