About this sunscreen
Joy Revivify Hello Sun is a pure mineral sunscreen using zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, with the SPF rating not specified here. As an all-mineral formula it tends to leave a visible white cast, though it wears lightweight with a balanced finish and does not generally sting, which suits sensitive skin. Its low pore-clogging profile makes it reasonable for blemish-prone skin. With a 74.1/100 score and good measured protection, it is a solid gentle pick if you can accept some cast.
