About this sunscreen
up&up Morning Facial Moisturizing Lotion With Sunscreen SPF 30 is a moisturizer-plus-sunscreen using older-generation chemical filters Homosalate and Octocrylene with mineral Zinc Oxide. It wears matte, stays lightweight, and shows low white cast, with a low breakout risk, and it does not commonly sting. Its makeup-base performance is rated poor, so it suits bare-skin mornings more than a layered makeup routine. Protection is rated good and the score is 70.6/100, making it a serviceable everyday moisturizing SPF for basic daily wear.
