About this sunscreen
reversa Anti-Wrinkle Cream Spf 30 is a chemical sunscreen built on older-generation UV filters (octinoxate, oxybenzone, octisalate and avobenzone), so it offers moderate protection at SPF 30. The balanced finish stays low on white cast and is lightweight to wear, and it generally works well as a base under makeup. The filter blend can feel a little stinging near the eyes for some, though it is commonly low on pore-clogging concerns. With a score of 60.9 out of 100, it is a passable daily option but not a top performer, largely because the filter set is dated.

Does reversa Anti-Wrinkle Cream SPF 30 leave a white cast?
No, it is rated low on white cast. The balanced finish wears clear on skin and should not leave a noticeable residue, which makes it easy to use as a daily face cream.
Is the reversa Anti-Wrinkle Cream Spf 30 mineral or chemical?
It is a chemical sunscreen. It uses older-generation UV filters, octinoxate, oxybenzone, octisalate and avobenzone, rather than mineral zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
Is reversa Anti-Wrinkle Cream SPF 30 any good?
It scores 60.9 out of 100, which makes it a passable everyday option rather than a standout. Protection is moderate at SPF 30, and the main drawback is the dated filter set. It is generally low on pore-clogging risk and works well under makeup.
