About this sunscreen
L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Anti Wrinkle Firming Day Cream SPF 25 is a hybrid day cream pairing older chemical filters Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid with mineral Titanium Dioxide. It leaves a low white cast with a matte finish, feels lightweight, is generally low risk for breakouts and works well under makeup, though it can sting somewhat with sweat. As a moisturizer-style SPF 25, its sun protection rates weak. The score of 49.0/100 reflects that it is best seen as a day cream with light SPF rather than dedicated sun protection.
