About this sunscreen
Laboratoire ACM Sensitelial Sunscreen Gel SPF 50 is a chemical sunscreen with a hybrid filter mix that pairs ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate and octocrylene with the more modern ethylhexyl triazone and diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate. The gel sets to a matte finish, stays lightweight, leaves little white cast and is low-sting, so it works well under makeup. With good protection and a score of 77.2/100, it is a dependable high-SPF pick for sensitive, oil-prone skin.
