Product summary

We do not recommend "e. L. F. Cosmetics - e. L. F. Beauty Shield SPF 50 Skin Shielding Moisturizer" because it does not provide good UVA protection. UVA sun rays don't burn the skin, but they still lead to photoaging and hyperpigmentation.

It contains good moisturizing ingredients and can double as a hydrating day cream.
