All-Physical Dark Spot Sun Defense Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50

WHAT IT IS: Dark Spot Sun Defense is an all-physical facial sunscreen that helps prevent damage from UVA/UVB rays and protect against photo-aging without the use of chemical filters. This hydrating, anti-aging sunscreen reduces the appearance of dark spots, uneven skin tone, and aging around the face and delicate eye area as it greatly decreases the risk of skin cancer.
