This tinted moisturizer SPF 50 from Paula's Choice combines sun protection and active care in a versatile formula. UV protection is based on chemical filters (including **diethylhexyl syringylidenemalonate**, a stabilizing UVA/UVB filter), complemented by **silica**, which contributes to light diffusion. In terms of functional active ingredients, **niacinamide** (vitamin B3) acts to even out skin tone, regulate sebum and strengthen the cutaneous barrier. Tocopherol** (vitamin E) provides antioxidant protection against oxidative stress. Allantoin** and **aloe barbadensis extract** support soothing and superficial healing. Licorice extract** (*Glycyrrhiza glabra*) has mild anti-inflammatory and depigmenting properties. Capryloyl glycine** and sarcosine** help regulate the skin microbiome and promote tolerance. The emollient base - shea butter, dimethicone, cetearyl alcohol - ensures comfort and light occlusion. This product is ideal for mature, dry to combination, sensitive skin or skin with uneven tone, seeking to combine daily moisturizing and photoprotection without neglecting active skincare.

Correct
Moisturizes well, leaves a slightly greasy film.

Good cream, solar not crazy
The only valid sun cream at Paula's Choice.
Mind you, I say valid, because their sunscreens use rather old technology, which means that, in almost all cases, they're bad sunscreens. This is really the main fault I have with this brand.
On the other hand, the cream aspect is still very good in terms of composition.
This is a good day cream, suitable for all skin types. For oily skin, I recommend applying a small quantity, as it leaves a slight oily film.
In short: a good sun cream, the only one from Paula's Choice that's worth buying. We'll buy it more for its composition than for its sun protection, as there are far better sunscreens on the market.
