Sun Care Expert Sun Protector Cream SPF50+

Shiseido

7.2/10 (7 reviews)
sunscreenSPF 5050 ml

Key Benefits

  • Titanium dioxide (nano) for broad-spectrum UV protection
  • Octocrylene for photostability and additional UVB protection
  • Glycerin for skin hydration
Overall Score: 7.2/10

This sunscreen offers strong UV protection and good hydration, but may not be ideal for very sensitive or dry skin due to alcohol content. Nano-TiO2 is effective but raises some environmental questions. Overall, a good choice for most skin types seeking high SPF, but those with sensitivities should patch test.
