ANESSA Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Suncare Gel SPF50+ PA++++

We assess that "ANESSA - Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Suncare Gel SPF50+ PA++++" can provide reliable sun protection based on the ingredient list. We love that it can protect from both UVA and UVB rays (not all sunscreens with SPF ratings give UVA protection. UVA rays do not cause sunburn, but still damage our skin and lead to early aging).

It contains good moisturizing ingredients and can double as a hydrating day cream. This product prevents early signs of aging by protecting against sun damage (all broad spectrum sunscreens do that).
