About this sunscreen
Revolution Makeup Revolution Glow SPF 30 Fixing Mist is a chemical setting spray using octocrylene, avobenzone, homosalate and other older filters. It wears lightweight with a balanced finish, leaves little white cast, and excels as a makeup base given its setting-mist format. Note that it rates high for eye stinging, so care is needed near the eyes. With moderate protection at SPF 30 and a score of 57.1/100, it is best treated as a makeup-setting top-up rather than primary sun protection.
