About this sunscreen
Sariayu SPF 50 PA+++ Sunscreen Serum uses an older chemical filter blend of Avobenzone, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, and Octocrylene. The serum texture wears lightweight with a matte finish and a low risk of white cast, with low pore-clogging concern, though it carries a medium chance of stinging. Protection rates as moderate and the dated filters keep the overall score at 61.7/100. A lightweight matte option, best for those who do not mind older filter chemistry.
