About this sunscreen
Purifide Daily Moisturiser SPF 30 is a chemical sunscreen on an older filter base of octocrylene, ethylhexyl salicylate and avobenzone. It delivers a matte finish that generally suits oily skin, sits lightweight, shows low white cast and has a low pore-clogging profile, and works well as a makeup base. At 69.8/100 with moderate protection it is a reasonable daily moisturiser with sun protection, though the medium sting rating suggests care near the eyes.
