About this sunscreen
RyxSkin Sincerity Invisible Sunshield SPF 40 combines older chemical filters, octinoxate and avobenzone plus oxybenzone (Benzophenone-3), with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. It is lightweight with a balanced finish and a low white cast, and it is unlikely to sting. The low breakout-trigger rating suggests it is generally fine for blemish-prone skin, and it works okay under makeup. With good protection but a lower 60.9/100 score, held back by its dated filter set, it is a middling choice.
