About this sunscreen
Sesderma Azelacru Fluido is a brightening SPF 50+ fluid using a hybrid filter system that pairs Titanium Dioxide with modern chemical filters including Ethylhexyl Triazone and Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine (Tinosorb S). It wears with a matte finish, a low white cast and a lightweight feel, and is a good makeup base while staying low in pore-clogging risk. Protection is good and stinging is unlikely; the score of 72.4 reflects a well-rounded brightening sunscreen.
