About this sunscreen

Neutrogena Rapid Tone Repair Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 is a moisturizer with older-school chemical filters: avobenzone (Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane), homosalate, ethylhexyl salicylate, and octocrylene. It keeps white cast low, has a balanced finish, feels lightweight, and is rated good under makeup, with a low pore-clogging profile. The medium sting rating suggests keeping it away from the eyes, and protection is good. With a score of 65.1/100 it is a reasonable daily moisturizer with SPF.
