About this sunscreen
The Acorelle Sunscreen Spray For Face And Body SPF 50 is a pure mineral sunscreen relying on Titanium Dioxide as its sole filter, in a spray format for face and body. It has a balanced finish and can leave a moderate white cast, which is common when Titanium Dioxide is used alone. It is generally gentle with a low sting and low breakout risk, and works okay under makeup. With a score of 49.0 out of 100 and weak protection, it is best treated as a light, supplemental layer rather than primary sun defense.

Is the Acorelle Sunscreen Spray SPF 50 any good?

Does the Acorelle Sunscreen Spray For Face And Body Spf 50 leave a white cast?
