About this sunscreen
Renon Protect Sunscreen SPF 50 PA+++ is a chemical sunscreen on an older-school filter base, combining Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane with some Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide. It wears with a balanced, lightweight finish, though the white cast runs medium and it may sting somewhat around the eyes. It reads low for pore-clogging and works okay under makeup. With good protection and a 69.0/100 score, it is a serviceable everyday pick rather than a standout.
