About this sunscreen
L'Oreal Age Perfect Collagen Expert Day Moisturizer with SPF 30 is a hybrid daily moisturizer that pairs Ethylhexyl Salicylate and Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane with the modern filters Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid and Ethylhexyl Triazone. It wears lightweight with a balanced finish and very low white cast, and is low on pore-clogging risk so it commonly suits acne-prone skin. It can sting somewhat near the eyes. With excellent protection and a score of 79.0, it is a strong pick for everyday moisturize-and-protect routines.
