About this sunscreen
Eucerin Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Face Lotion SPF 15 is a chemical anti-aging lotion using older-generation filters: octinoxate, octisalate and oxybenzone. It wears with a balanced, lightweight finish and keeps white cast low, with a medium chance of stinging near the eyes and low breakout risk, and it sits well under makeup. With a 49.0/100 score and only weak measured protection at SPF 15, it is best viewed as a light daily moisturizer rather than real sun protection.
