About this sunscreen
Korres Wild Rose Brightening Eye Cream SPF 15 is a chemical-filter eye cream that pairs light daytime sun protection with a dewy finish. Its older-generation filter blend (octinoxate, octocrylene and avobenzone) sits lightweight on skin with low white cast, though it may sting slightly for some around the eyes. SPF 15 protection is moderate, so it is generally suited to incidental indoor and shaded exposure rather than a full day in strong sun. Its overall score of 60/100 reflects modest protection in an otherwise comfortable, low-pore-clogging formula.
