About this sunscreen
DISAAR Moisturizing Sunblock is a chemical-leaning sunscreen using older-generation filters Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Octocrylene, and Ethylhexyl Salicylate alongside titanium dioxide. It is lightweight with a dewy finish and low white cast, but it can sting somewhat near the eyes and performs poorly as a makeup base. Protection is weak in practice and pore-clogging is low. The score of 49.0 out of 100 places it among the lower options, with limited real-world protection being the main concern.

Does DISAAR Moisturizing Sunblock work well under makeup?
Not really. It is rated poor as a makeup base and has a dewy finish, so it is better worn on its own. It can also sting somewhat if it gets near the eyes.
Is DISAAR Moisturizing Sunblock mineral or chemical?
It is mostly chemical, using older-generation filters Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Octocrylene, and Ethylhexyl Salicylate alongside titanium dioxide.
Is DISAAR Moisturizing Sunblock good?
It scores 49.0 out of 100, on the lower end, with protection rated weak in practice. Limited real-world protection is the main concern despite the lightweight feel.
