The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other women's everyday face care: moisturizers, face mists, facial kits, rollers, cleansing brushes and steamers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
['This sun cream from Benton is formulated as a cream, with the Skin Type field calling out Dry and Sensitive skin specifically. It carries an SPF 50 rating and is labeled water resistant, and the Material Type Free field notes it is oil free despite the cream texture.', 'The Product Benefits field lists Hydrating, and the Material Features describe it as Moisturizing and Soothing, both of which line up with a rosemary scented formula meant for skin that needs extra comfort alongside sun protection. It comes in a 50 ml (1.69 fl oz) size for $19.90.', 'With 365 reviews and a 4.6 star average, this is one of the higher rated sunscreens in this roundup, though reported purchases in the past month were modest at 1 unit.']

- SPF 50 protection formulated for dry and sensitive skin
- Oil free despite being a moisturizing cream
- One of the highest ratings in this roundup at 4.6 stars across 365 reviews

Performance notes
The Skin Type targeting of Dry and Sensitive, combined with the Hydrating benefit and Moisturizing and Soothing material features, points to a cream built to comfort compromised or dry skin barriers while still delivering SPF 50 coverage. The oil free note is worth pairing with the moisturizing claims, since it suggests the formula hydrates without relying on heavy oils.
What buyers say
A 4.6 star average from 365 reviews is one of the stronger ratings among the sunscreens covered here, suggesting consistent satisfaction from buyers with dry or sensitive skin. Reported purchase volume in the past month was low at 1 unit, though this can reflect stock timing rather than overall demand.
