4.0 / 5.0
System Verdict
Strong sunscreen, mediocre skin-care formula. The efficacy score is driven by a genuinely solid UV filter system—multiple photostable filters plus iron oxides for tinted visible-light coverage—but it is held back from elite status by fragrance, a mostly silicone/powder base, and only minimal skin-benefit support from glycerin.
