About this sunscreen
Sesderma Repaskin Dry Touch SPF 50 is a chemical-led sunscreen built on octocrylene, ethylhexyl salicylate, avobenzone (butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane) and phenylbenzimidazole sulfonic acid, with a touch of titanium dioxide. It has a balanced, dry-touch finish, stays lightweight, shows low white cast and works well under makeup. Low pore-clogging potential makes it generally reasonable for oily or blemish-prone skin, though it may sting a little if it reaches the eyes. With good protection and a score of 69/100, it is a solid everyday option.
