About this sunscreen
Hiruscar Anti-acne UV Fluid SPF 50 PA++++ is a hybrid sunscreen that pairs mineral zinc oxide and titanium dioxide with modern and older chemical filters, including Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate and Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine. It dries to a matte finish, stays lightweight, and rates excellent under makeup, with a moderate white cast that can show on deeper tones. It is low for pore-clogging but has a medium sting risk. Protection is excellent, and a score of 76.5 makes it a capable acne-conscious option.
