About this sunscreen
Sesderma Repaskin Silk Touch Facial Sunscreen SPF 50 is a chemical facial sunscreen with a hybrid filter set, including Octocrylene, Avobenzone and Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, alongside the older Benzophenone-3. It delivers a matte finish with a low white cast and is rated an excellent makeup base, so it suits oily skin and primer use. Breakout risk is low, but the sting rating is high, so it is best kept clear of the eye area. With excellent protection and a score of 67.5, it is a capable matte facial option for those who do not mind the older filter in the mix.
