About this sunscreen
Revive Skincare Perfectif Even Skin Tone Cream SPF 30 is a chemical sunscreen on an older filter set of avobenzone, homosalate, salicylates, octocrylene and oxybenzone. It has a balanced finish, stays lightweight and keeps white cast low, but the sting risk is high so keep it away from the eyes. Protection is rated good while the dated filters hold the overall score to mid-range. It is generally an okay choice, though more modern formulas exist.
