Reviewers praise

- SPF claim tested by two independent labs in two countries, giving reviewers confidence in the stated protection
Reviewers push back
- Causes a visible white or grey cast on medium-to-deep skin tones due to the particulate Tinosorb M filter
- UV camera testing shows meaningful wear-off by the four-hour mark, with significant degradation by six hours, making reapplication essential
- Applying foundation over it with a damp sponge further reduces visible sunscreen coverage
