About this sunscreen
Uriage Bariesun SPF50+ Dry Mist is a chemical, hybrid-filter spray combining octocrylene, octinoxate, avobenzone, octisalate and Tinosorb S for high broad-spectrum protection. The mist dries to a matte, lightweight finish with low white cast and works fine under makeup. Breakout risk is generally low, and it carries a medium chance of stinging the eyes. At 67.5/100 with good protection, it is a convenient high-SPF top-up, though a cream often lays down a more even layer than a mist.
