About this sunscreen
Cell Fusion C Laser Sunscreen 100 is an SPF 50+ face sunscreen that blends mineral filters (Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide) with chemical ones for broad protection. It leans lightweight with a matte finish, carries only a moderate white cast, and is unlikely to sting in heat or sweat. The filter line-up is on the older side, but with a solid 74/100 score and good measured protection, it is a dependable everyday pick for those who want a non-greasy feel.

Is the Cell Fusion C Laser Sunscreen 100 Spf 50+/Pa+++ mineral or chemical?
It is a hybrid formula. It combines mineral filters (Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide) with chemical filters such as Homosalate and Ethylhexyl Salicylate.
Does the Cell Fusion C Laser Sunscreen 100 Spf 50+/Pa+++ leave a white cast?
It tends to leave a moderate white cast. The mineral filters can show some whitening, so it may be worth blending well or patch-testing against your skin tone first.
Is it good for oily or acne-prone skin?
It may suit oily skin reasonably well. The finish is matte and lightweight with a low pore-clogging rating, though individual results vary, so consider patch-testing.
