Review

Results you may expect from using Sente Invisible Shield Full Physical SPF 52 Tinted:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Sente Invisible Shield Full Physical SPF 52 Tinted:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 7.4 out of 10.
  • Very high sun protection for prolonged sun exposure, such as spending the day at the beach, hiking, or outdoor sports.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Sente Invisible Shield Full Physical SPF 52 Tinted has a moisturizing rating of 7.4 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a moderate humectancy of 4.8 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Acetamidoethoxyethanol (est. ≈3.0%), and a maximum occlusivity of 10 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈45.0%) and Caprylyl Methicone (est. ≈4.0%).

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Sente Invisible Shield Full Physical SPF 52 Tinted has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Biosaccharide Gum-4, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Biosaccharide Gum-4 provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, this ingredient does not generate the anti-wrinkle rating.

Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, could deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Sun protection

Sente Invisible Shield Full Physical SPF 52 Tinted has an SPF of 52 and provides very high sun protection. This level of protection is ideal for activities involving intense or prolonged sun exposure, such as spending the day at the beach, hiking, or outdoor sports. It is particularly recommended for individuals with fair skin, those at high risk of skin cancer, or in environments with intense sun exposure. Remember to apply sunscreen generously and reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating to maintain effectiveness.
