About this sunscreen
Dr. Jart+ Every Sun Day Mild Sun SPF 43 PA+++ is a pure mineral sunscreen using Zinc Oxide, generally a gentle choice for sensitive skin. It finishes matte and wears lightweight, with a medium ghost-mode that means some white cast is possible on application. It does not commonly sting and sits low on the pore-clogging scale, so it tends to suit oily and breakout-prone skin. With moderate protection and a score of 71/100, it is a comfortable everyday mineral pick best suited to lighter sun exposure.
