About this sunscreen
ISDIN Fusion Water Magic Repair SPF 50 is a hybrid chemical sunscreen built on ethylhexyl triazone, bemotrizinol and avobenzone for broad SPF 50 coverage. The watery texture feels lightweight, dries to a matte finish with low white cast, and does not sting. It works well under makeup and reads low for pore-clogging, so it suits oily and combination skin. At 85/100 with excellent protection, it is a high-performing daily option.
