We do not recommend "TOYFUNNY - Sunscreen Spray SPF50 Oil-free Spray Sunblock Waterproof Sun Protection" 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.

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”: these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, trehalose.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses
moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels
less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
squalane, diisostearyl malate.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with
the hydration level: paraffinum liquidum

Evens skin tone
What does the product description say?
This product contains ingredients () that could help reduce
hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that
they actually work.
The biggest effect for evening out skin tone in this product comes from sun protection. Sun damage is the main
factor causing age spots, darkening of post-acne marks and other discolorations. This is why sun protection is
the best strategy for maintaining an even skin tone. We, however, do not recommend using this product as a
sunscreen because the protection it offers is not strong enough).
