Product summary

We believe that "Garnier - Super UV Protector Solar Facial Fluido Anti Oleosidad con Vitamina C SPF 50+" can provide reliable sun protection based on the ingredients listed. It can protect from both UVA and UVB rays. This is great news because 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).

Because it includes good moisturizing ingredients, it can also work as a hydrating day cream. This product prevents early signs of aging by protecting against sun damage (all broad spectrum sunscreens do that).

Sunscreen filters

This is a so-called "chemical" sunscreen. It means that it uses organic UV filters. They typically offer good sun protection and rarely leave a white cast, but they can be irritating for some people with sensitive skin. The UV filters in this sunscreen are: tinosorb s 1.90% - 2.40%, avobenzone 1.40% - 1.80%, mexoryl xl 0.55% - 0.85%, octisalate 2.40% - 2.90%, uvinul t 1.80% - 2.20% and ensulizole 1.00% - 1.30%.
