by innisfree
Updated November 10, 2026
SPF 36 chemical sunscreen with a glowy finish; oily and reactive-skin complaints.
What the community says
A chemical SPF 36 with avobenzone, homosalate, and octisalate that wears comfortably under makeup after roughly five minutes. It suits dry or combination skin, but oily skin may find it greasy; fragrance and eye-burning reports make sensitive skin risky.
