About this sunscreen
Nature Derma Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Tinted Sunscreen SPF 50 is a chemical sunscreen built on older filters (octinoxate, avobenzone, octocrylene) with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. It has a balanced finish and low white cast, though it can feel somewhat heavier and may sting more easily for some users. Its low pore-clogging profile is reasonably friendly to most skin. Scoring 68.4 out of 100 with good protection, it is a fair everyday tinted option.

Is this Nature Derma tinted sunscreen good for acne-prone skin?
It has a low pore-clogging profile, which is generally friendly to breakout-prone skin. The finish is balanced rather than heavily matte, so results can vary on very oily skin.
Does the Nature Derma Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Tinted Sunscreen SPF 50 Pa++++ sting?
It may sting more easily for some users, so those with sensitive eyes or skin should patch test first.
Is it mineral or chemical?
It is mainly chemical. It uses older filters like octinoxate, avobenzone and octocrylene, with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide added.
