About this sunscreen
Hada Labo Tokyo Super Moisturizer Sun Lotion is a chemical SPF 50 sun lotion built on a hybrid filter mix, including Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate plus the modern UV filters Tinosorb M and Uvinul A Plus. It wears with a balanced finish and stays lightweight on skin, with low risk of a white cast. It is commonly comfortable for sensitive skin since it does not generally sting, and its low pore-clogging profile makes it friendly for breakout-prone skin. With excellent protection and a strong overall score of 86.3, it is a well-rounded daily pick.
