About this sunscreen

MINCER Pharma NeoHyaluron Strongly Firming Day Cream SPF 10 is a firming day cream with light chemical sun protection from Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and Octocrylene. It has a dewy finish, a lightweight feel and a low white cast, and it layers okay under makeup. It does not sting and is generally acne-friendly. With only SPF 10 the protection is weak, so the score is 49.0/100 and it is best treated as a moisturizer rather than a primary sunscreen.
