No matter how high the SPF, sunscreen only works if people actually use it consistently, and a formula that leaves a white cast, feels heavy on the skin, or disrupts the look of makeup will find itself sitting untouched on the shelf—but that doesn't describe The Milky Sunscreen SPF 50 by Tatcha.
This soothing hydration shield is a new release from the luxury skincare brand guided by time-honored rituals, and it was made for all skin types. While the milky, light formula disappears on skin, it leaves a high level of protection, and visibly corrects UV damage, reduces the appearance of dark spots, and supports cellular hydration and calms stressed-out skin. Alongside broad-spectrum UV filters, this formula features encapsulated ectoin, Vitamin E, and Okinawa aloe.
