About this sunscreen
Neutrogena Triple Age Repair Moisturizer SPF 25 is a chemical sunscreen built on an older filter set of avobenzone, homosalate, ethylhexyl salicylate and octocrylene. It wears matte and lightweight with a low white cast, and pore-clogging risk is generally low, which makes it friendly to acne-prone skin, though it can mildly sting if it reaches the eyes. SPF 25 gives good everyday protection rather than peak beach coverage. The score of 62.5/100 reflects a capable daily moisturizer held back by older filters and modest SPF.
