About this sunscreen
Renew Moisturizing Cream For Oily Skin SPF-15 is a hybrid daily moisturizer that uses octinoxate, octisalate and the modern filter Uvinul A Plus for good protection at a lower SPF level. It has a balanced finish with a low white cast and wears lightweight, and it is generally gentle, commonly not stinging the eyes and low on pore-clogging risk. It works okay as a makeup base. With a score of 73.1 out of 100, it is a solid light moisturizer, though SPF 15 suits incidental sun more than extended exposure.
