A lightweight chemical sunscreen essence that provides broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection alongside brightening Vitamin C and red algae extract. The texture is notably fluid and sinks in quickly without the heavy, chalky finish often associated with high-protection filters. It’s a solid choice for those who want their sun protection to double as a brightening step, though the inclusion of alcohol and fragrance means it’s best suited for those without reactive skin.
