About this sunscreen
Revuele Vitamin C Moisturizer is an SPF 20 chemical moisturizer with a hybrid filter set including ethylhexyl salicylate, butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane (avobenzone) and the modern Mexoryl SX (terephthalylidene dicamphor sulfonic acid). It has a balanced finish, a lightweight feel and low white cast, and is generally low-sting with low pore-clogging risk. As a low-SPF moisturizer its protection is only moderate, so it is better as light daily cover than as primary sun defense. The score is 66.6/100.
