This is a strong and broad-band sun block. A decent moisturizer, too.
Besides water the most abundant ingredient in this product is silicone. Although silicone instantly smoothes skin and minimizes the look of pores, be cautious that overdoes could cause clogged pores and breakouts.
The good moisturizing ingredients include vitamin B5, the cellular "pump" of moisture, and polymethylmethacrylate. Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is a suspension of microscopic synthetic polymer beads (microspheres) in a vehicle such as bovine collagen, hyaluronic acid or some other colloidal suspending agent. PMMA can be used to improve the skin's contour and reduce depressions in the skin due to scars, injury or lines. They are used to correct facial lines and features that could have been treated with collagen replacement therapy or hyaluronic therapy.
The antioxidant content is impressive, fulfilled with vitamin C, A and E. Together with the sun screen, this moisturizer should work well against premature aging.
The only thing that raised my brow is the ingredient methylisothiazolinone. This is a cheap preservative that should be used only in rinse-off products because it can be too irritating when left on skin. Hopefully this is the next to last ingredient that it would not cause serious problems.
