About this sunscreen
Luvum Skin Glow Suncream is labeled SPF50+ PA++++ and uses a hybrid system that combines the mineral filters Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide with modern chemical filters like Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate and Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine. It feels balanced and lightweight and is generally acne-friendly, working excellently as a makeup base, though the mineral content can leave a medium white cast. Protection is excellent and the score is 84.2/100, a glow-oriented daily pick.
