I test the pricey Tizo Ultra Zinc Face and Body SPF 40 sunscreen. Does it live up to its price tag?

CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion with SPF30 Sunscreen (★★)

Supergoop Handscreen SPF40 (★★★★★)

March 3, 2022September 26, 2022Leave a comment

While it isn’t called a sunscreen, if it looks like a sunscreen, protects like a sunscreen, and WORKS like a sunscreen, then it IS a sunscreen (to me at least). And what an effective sunscreen it is!
