About this sunscreen

Ligia Kogos Oily Skin SPF 15 is a hybrid sunscreen for oily skin that mixes chemical filters (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Octocrylene, Benzophenone-3, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate) with mineral Zinc Oxide. It wears lightweight with a balanced finish, keeps white cast low, and is generally non-stinging with a low pore-clogging profile that suits acne-prone skin. As a makeup base it sits okay under foundation. Its SPF 15 gives only moderate protection and the score is 50.6, so it is best for low-sun, everyday use rather than strong exposure.
