About this sunscreen
Poiret Voile Parfait SPF 50+ Pa++++ is a hybrid sunscreen pairing modern filters Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine (Tinosorb S) and Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate with older Octinoxate and Octisalate, plus mineral Titanium Dioxide. It finishes matte with low white cast and a lightweight feel, and its low breakout-trigger rating is generally suitable for oily skin. With excellent broad-spectrum protection and an 80.3/100 score it is a strong daily performer, despite a disqualifying flag on the formula.
