About this sunscreen
The rovectin UV Anti-Irritant Defense SPF 50+ PA+++ Tinted is a fully mineral sunscreen that relies on zinc oxide and titanium dioxide for broad protection. As a tinted formula it keeps white cast low while leaving a matte finish, and it sits lightweight on skin without a heavy mask feel. It is generally low on the pore-clogging scale and does not commonly sting, so it suits sensitive and acne-prone skin and works well under makeup. With a score of 82.2/100 and good protection, it is a strong everyday pick.
