Does Biore UV Perfect Protect Milk leave a white cast?
White cast is rated medium, so a light residue can show, partly due to the zinc oxide content. Blending it in well helps minimize it. The matte finish can make any cast slightly more noticeable.
Is the Biore Uv Perfect Protect Milk White Spf 50+ Pa+++ mineral or chemical?
It is a blend that pairs zinc oxide with Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, an older- generation chemical filter. So it is not a pure mineral formula. It is rated SPF 50+ with PA+++.
Is it good for oily skin?
It dries to a matte finish, wears lightweight, and has a low pore-clogging profile, so it is generally well suited to oily and blemish-prone skin. It also does not commonly sting. Its overall score is 68.0 out of 100 with good protection.
