About this sunscreen
Make P:rem UV Defense Me Daily Sun Fluid SPF50+/PA++++ is a high-protection daily face sunscreen that pairs titanium dioxide with modern chemical UV filters such as Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Ethylhexyl Triazone, and Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone, so it reads as a mineral and chemical hybrid. The fluid texture is lightweight with a balanced finish and keeps white cast low, and it is generally non-stinging and low on the pore-clogging scale. It works acceptably under makeup. With excellent measured protection and a score of 86.6 out of 100, it is one of the stronger daily options in the catalog.
