Cetaphil UVA/UVB Defence SPF 50+ / PA++++

Cetaphil UVA/UVB Defence SPF 50+ is a dermatologist-tested, broad-spectrum sunscreen designed for daily use on sensitive and reactive skin. It utilizes Mexoryl® and a system of seven UV filters to deliver very-high-level UVA/UVB protection, while hydrating and soothing without containing fragrances or pore-clogging ingredients.

The formula is hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, and alcohol-free, making it suitable for face and body. Although it has a creamy texture, many users observe only a mild white cast that diminishes quickly with blending.
