About this sunscreen

Eucerin Radiant Tone Daily Face Lotion With SPF 30 is a chemical day lotion built on older-generation filters Avobenzone (Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane), Homosalate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, and Octocrylene. It is lightweight with a balanced finish and low white cast and works well under makeup, but it tends to sting if it gets near the eyes. Protection is good and pore-clogging is low. With a score of 64.7 out of 100, it is a reasonable daily face lotion with tone-correcting intent.
