In this Rohto Mentholatum Melano CC Deep Day Care UV Lotion SPF 50 sunscreen lotion review, I find a very terrible performing sunscreen. Thanks again for the sample Zoe!

I have now tested a few Rohto Mentholatum products and my general feel for their products can only be summed up by the wise words of Shania Twain. “That don’t impress me much.” Honestly, I would much rather look for a job than put this on my skin.

The Rohto Mentholatum Melano CC Deep Day Care UV Lotion SPF 50 sunscreen lotion is a hybrid sunscreen formula which contains Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Titanium Dioxide, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol, and Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine.
