About this sunscreen
It's Skin Prestige Sun D'Escargot SPF 50+ PA+++ is a chemical sunscreen relying on a single older-generation filter, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate. It wears matte and lightweight with a low white cast, does not commonly sting, and serves as a good makeup base. The low breakout trigger is generally friendly. Its protection is rated weak, however, and the score of 49.0/100 means it is best kept for light, incidental sun rather than long exposure.
