Updated September 29, 2026
Avobenzone SPF 60 serum with lightweight, primer-friendly finish; stings eyes.
What the community says
A face sunscreen serum with avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, and octocrylene that reads lighter than a lotion. It suits people wanting fast rub-in under makeup or workouts. Eye sting and occasional white cast complaints are the real catch.
