About this sunscreen
Lancome Renergie Lift Multi-Action Ultra Moisturizer SPF 30 is a chemical anti-aging moisturizer on an old-school filter base of Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Homosalate, Octocrylene and Titanium Dioxide. It is lightweight with a balanced finish and low white cast, though the older filters may sting near the eyes. Low pore-clogging tendency keeps it agreeable for most skin. With a score of 64.3/100 and good protection, it is a moisturizer-first product where sun protection is a secondary perk.
