About this sunscreen
Lancome Supra Screen Invisible Serum Sunscreen SPF 50+ is a chemical serum-style sunscreen with an anti-aging positioning, built on older-generation filters including avobenzone, homosalate, ethylhexyl salicylate, and octocrylene. It wears lightweight with a balanced finish and leaves no visible white cast, and its low breakout-trigger rating makes it generally easy to wear day to day. SPF 50+ with good protection covers most everyday sun exposure. The overall score of 64.8/100 puts it in fair territory, held back mainly by its dated filter set.
