About this sunscreen
It's Skin Sun Block 2 O'Clock SPF 50+ Pa+++ is a Korean sunscreen built on Zinc Oxide plus the chemical filters Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and Ethylhexyl Salicylate. It finishes matte, stays lightweight, and is low in pore-clogging risk, which generally suits oily and combination skin. The filter set is old-school, and a slight white cast is possible. Good protection and a 68.0/100 score make it a solid value option rather than a standout.
