About this sunscreen
Oriflame Intensive Age Defence Hand Cream Spf 25 is a hand cream that carries chemical SPF from an older filter base of homosalate, octocrylene, octisalate and avobenzone. It has no white cast, a matte finish and a lightweight feel, with mild potential to sting, and it is acne-friendly with low pore-clogging potential. Its protection is moderate, which is appropriate for a hand cream rather than primary sun defence. The score of 64.0/100 reflects its niche purpose and dated filters.
