About this sunscreen
Sesderma Repaskin Silk Touch Facial Sunscreen SPF 30 is a chemical formula using older filters including octocrylene, homosalate, ethylhexyl salicylate, avobenzone, and benzophenone-3. It wears with a balanced finish, stays lightweight, keeps white cast low, and rates excellent as a makeup base. It is low for pore-clogging, but its sting risk is high, so it is generally best kept away from the eyes. Protection is good, though the dated filter mix and a mid-range score of 59.2 hold it back.
