About this sunscreen
Estee Lauder Revitalizing Supreme+ Cell Power Creme is a moisturizer with SPF 15 from an older chemical filter set: Octocrylene, Ethylhexyl Salicylate and Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane. The cream feels balanced and lightweight, keeps white cast low, and is commonly suitable for breakout-prone skin while sitting okay under makeup. SPF 15 gives only moderate protection, and with a score of 64.7/100 it is better treated as a skincare cream than a primary sunscreen.
