About this sunscreen
LACURA Caviar Collagen Pro Firming Day Cream With SPF 15 is a hybrid day cream that pairs modern triazine filters with avobenzone and octisalate. It wears matte with low white cast and a lightweight feel, and rates good as a makeup base. It may sting slightly on some skin but is low risk for clogging pores. With a score of 80/100 it performs well for a moisturizer, though its SPF 15 offers only good, not high, protection.
