About this sunscreen
Jaquline USA Lumi Glo Tinted Illuminating Sunscreen is a tinted, illuminating sunscreen built mainly on chemical filters, with ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, avobenzone and octocrylene alongside some titanium dioxide. It wears lightweight with a balanced finish and a low white cast, and pore-clogging risk is generally low, which is friendly to oily skin, though it can mildly sting near the eyes. It is marketed at SPF 50 with PA++++. The score of 63.0/100 reflects an older filter base beneath an appealing tinted glow.
