About this sunscreen
Eveline Magic Lift Ultra-Active Rejuvenating Cream SPF 20 is a hybrid day cream that combines chemical filters such as octinoxate and avobenzone with the modern filters Tinosorb M and Tinosorb S. It wears with a balanced finish, low white cast, and a lightweight feel, with low pore-clogging potential. Protection is good for an SPF 20 moisturizer, though it may sting slightly for sensitive eyes. At 71.3/100 it is a capable rejuvenating cream with sunscreen built in, best treated as light daily cover rather than high-sun defense.

What SPF is Eveline Magic Lift Rejuvenating Cream?
It is SPF 20, which provides light daily sun cover rather than high-sun protection. Treat it as a moisturizer with built-in sunscreen.
Is the Eveline Magic Lift Ultra-Active Rejuvenating Cream SPF 20 mineral or chemical?
It is a hybrid, blending chemical filters such as octinoxate and avobenzone with the modern Tinosorb M and Tinosorb S filters. There is no mineral-only claim here.
Does it leave a white cast?
White cast is low and the finish is balanced, so it should sit fairly invisibly. It feels lightweight and has low pore-clogging potential.
