About this sunscreen
StriVectin Full Screen is a chemical SPF 30 using an older-generation filter set of Avobenzone, Homosalate, Octisalate, and Octocrylene. It wears lightweight with a balanced finish and a low risk of white cast, and it is rated as a good makeup base. One caveat: it tends to sting, so it may not suit sensitive or easily irritated eyes. Protection is good, but the overall score of 63.9/100 reflects its older filter profile.
