About this sunscreen
VENeffect Anti-Aging Moisturizer SPF 15 is a chemical daytime moisturizer using older-generation filters: avobenzone, octinoxate and octocrylene. It wears with a balanced, lightweight finish and low white cast and works well as a makeup base, though it may sting if it reaches the eyes. With moderate protection and a score of 64.1, it is best seen as light daily cover rather than dedicated sun defense, and the SPF 15 rating limits stronger exposure.
