5. Pros and Cons
1. Formulation & Scent
This sunscreen has a lotion-like texture that applies smoothly to the skin and is quickly absorbed, leaving a matte finish. It makes the skin look moisturized and maintains hydration all day long. Although it is white, it changes color like a foundation. The most impressive thing is that small pores are immediately covered. It’s like a very lightweight foundation sunscreen.
The scent is slightly cosmetic, but it changes to unscented after 2 seconds.
2. Is it In good for skin?
In summary, this hint of tint mineral sunscreen is a multi-purpose product that can be used by all skin types depending on the amount used. Because the color changes from white to a foundation color, it is a good choice for those who find white sunscreen too burdensome.
I used a small amount of this product in the summer when my skin was oily and combination, and I applied it alone or used it when doing makeup. There was no stickiness and the skin’s moisture lasted for a long time, which was great.
For dry skin, if you apply the usual amount of sunscreen, your skin will glow and you can create a slightly more moist dewy skin. However, if you use the normal amount, your hair may stick to your face, so if it is too oily, you can use an oil blotting paper to wipe off the cheekbones, forehead and chin parts of your face
3. How to Use
This sunscreen can be used alone or when doing makeup, for both oily, combination and dry skin types. However, it is important to adjust the amount according to the desired skin effect.
Step 1. After you apply your moisturizer, use this product as the final step in your skincare routine.
Step 2. Shake the bottle well before each use.
Step 3. Apply a moderate amount according to your skin type (for oily, combination skin, use a small amount; for dry skin, use a regular amount).
Step 4. Gently press the sunscreen into your skin.
Tip – Since this sunscreen lasts all day, it is recommended to thoroughly and carefully remove it using a method suitable for your skin when removing makeup to maintain clean skin.

- Best for dry, oily, combination and normal skin
- Suitable for all skin types that feel dry
- Lightweight and tint sunscreen and deep hydration
- Can be used as a makeup primer for small pores.
- Broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays.

- Even when used alone, it makes the skin look smooth and evens out the skin tone.

Cons:
- May be it irritating to damaged or broken skin.
- For oily skin, oiliness increases as time passes
Solution of Cons:
- For oily and sensitive skin that needs pore coverage, I recommend using Shiseido Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF 42. If you are looking for a low-irritation sunscreen, I recommend the COOLA Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 Matte tint, which provides a smooth skin texture with moisture and a velvety finish, especially during the summer.
- If you have combination skin that is dry and damaged and are looking for a low-irritation sunscreen, I recommend the EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46 or Supergoop! Unseen sunscreen SPF 40 PA+++ .
- Even after using blotting paper to remove the oiliness from the skin, this sunscreen still makes the skin look good
