About this sunscreen
Sesderma Repaskin Transparent Sunscreen Spray SPF 50+ is a hybrid sunscreen spray pairing modern filters like Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine with Octocrylene, Homosalate, and the older filter Benzophenone-3. White cast stays low, the finish is matte, and it wears lightweight and works under makeup. It is low on the pore-clogging scale but reads high for sting, so it is best kept away from the eyes. With excellent protection and a score of 64/100, it is a convenient spray, though the sting potential and Benzophenone-3 weigh on the rating.
