System Verdict
Strong UV protection, but the fragrance makes this a less elegant sunscreen for sensitive or acne-prone skin. The efficacy is still solid because the formula uses a modern multi-filter system with S Tier and A Tier filters like Bemotrizinol, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, and Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone, plus Octinoxate for UVB coverage. I kept the score from going higher because the formula is relatively short, the exact filter concentrations are unknown, and the added fragrance raises irritation risk without improving SPF performance.
