About this sunscreen

Eucerin Face Immersive Hydration Daily Lotion is an SPF 30 chemical sunscreen built on an older-generation filter set of Avobenzone, Homosalate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate and Octocrylene. It is lightweight with a matte finish and low white cast, and it rates good as a makeup base, making it a tidy option under foundation. The low breakout-trigger rating suits blemish-prone skin, though it carries a medium sweat-sting rating, so keep it away from the eyes. With good protection and a score of 68.2/100, it is a solid hydrating daily lotion.
