About this sunscreen
Lierac Sunissime Protective Milk SPF 15 is a hybrid sunscreen milk built on modern filters including Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Ethylhexyl Triazone, and Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate alongside Avobenzone. It has a balanced finish, a lightweight feel, and a low white cast, and it generally works well under makeup. Pore-clogging risk is low, though it may sting more near the eyes. The score of 83.7/100 is strong, but the SPF 15 rating means protection is lower than higher-SPF options.
