About this sunscreen
Lebelage High Protection Long Lasting Sun Cream is an SPF50+ PA+++ hybrid sunscreen that pairs chemical filters such as Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and Ethylhexyl Salicylate with mineral Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide. The finish is balanced and the cream wears lightweight without stinging, though the mineral content can leave some visible cast and it is not the strongest pick for layering under makeup. Protection is rated excellent, which is its main strength. With a score of 73.7 out of 100, it is a solid everyday sun cream best suited to those who do not wear much makeup over it.
