About this sunscreen
Eveline Cosmetics Magic Lift SPF 20 is a hybrid chemical formula using modern filters like methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol and bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine. It wears light with a balanced finish and keeps white cast low, though the filter mix may sting slightly if it reaches the eyes. It rates low for pore-clogging and works okay under makeup. At 71/100 the formula scores reasonably, but with only SPF 20 its good rating reflects lighter, everyday cover rather than strong high-sun protection.
