A great choice for dry skin; a few sunscreens fit it even better.

## Why this fit

- This product is highly suitable for your dry skin, as rice extract and glycerin provide excellent hydration and emollient actions to smooth and moisturize. Camellia sinensis leaf extract and adenosine further support skin barrier function and elasticity, enhancing overall skin health.
- The formula offers robust sun protection with ethylhexyl triazone and methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol, effectively shielding your dry skin from UV damage.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of soothing components like rice extract and niacinamide.
