About this sunscreen
QV Ego Face Day Cream SPF 30 + is a hybrid daily sunscreen that pairs modern chemical filters such as Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine and Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate with Titanium Dioxide for broad coverage. The balanced, lightweight finish does not sting and is generally low risk for clogged pores, though the medium ghost_mode means a slight white cast can show on deeper skin tones. It layers acceptably under makeup. With an 81.9/100 score and excellent protection, it is a solid everyday face option.
