About this sunscreen
Lavozon Med Sonnencreme Ultra Sensitive is an SPF 30 face and body sunscreen from Lavozon, built on a hybrid set of chemical filters including octocrylene, ethylhexyl salicylate, avobenzone, the modern triazone Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone, and a UVB booster. It wears lightweight with a balanced finish and keeps white cast low, so it layers cleanly and is generally a good base for makeup. Note that it may sting if it migrates into the eyes during heavy sweat or exercise. With good broad-spectrum protection and a score of 72.6/100, it is a solid everyday pick for sensitive skin.

Does Lavozon Med Sonnencreme Ultra Sensitive leave a white cast?
No, white cast is rated low. As a hybrid sunscreen leaning on chemical filters, it absorbs to a balanced finish and does not commonly leave a visible film, so it layers cleanly on most skin tones.
Is the Lavozon Med Sonnencreme Ultra Sensitive Spf 30 a mineral or chemical sunscreen?
It is mainly a chemical sunscreen. The filter list is built on octocrylene, ethylhexyl salicylate, avobenzone, and modern triazones, with no mineral filters like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
Is it good for acne-prone skin?
It can suit acne-prone skin. It has a low pore-clogging profile and a balanced, lightweight finish, which is generally comfortable for breakout-prone skin, though individual reactions vary.
