About this sunscreen
Health & Beauty Dead Sea Minerals Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream SPF 20 is an eye-area cream that leans on older-generation filters, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate plus Titanium Dioxide. It has a dewy finish, low white cast, and a somewhat richer feel typical of an eye treatment, with low pore-clogging potential. Its protection is rated weak and it scores 49.0/100, so it is better seen as a targeted eye cream than as standalone sun protection.
