    Helase 50 Broad Spectrum Sunscreen

    7.8/ 10

    Advanced, credible photoprotection with photolyase DNA-repair enzymes and Pycnogenol per the brand — can feel rich, and the 'DNA-repair' framing exceeds what consumers can independently verify.

      I'm a pharmacist and get asked about this one often. The formulation is honest about what Pycnogenol can and can't do for you.

      Eczema-prone skin over here — this didn't trigger anything, which is rare for me.

      A friend who's way more into skincare than me recommended this, and for once the hype checked out.

      My all except very oily skin can be fussy but this hasn't caused any issues. Will repurchase.
