About this sunscreen
Cezanne Make Keep Base is a pink-beige makeup base with SPF 28, using a fully mineral filter pair of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. It finishes matte and does not sting, with a low pore-clogging profile, though it carries a medium white cast and a somewhat heavier feel typical of mineral bases. The pink-beige tint is aimed at colour-correcting and priming the skin. Good protection and a score of 79/100 make it a solid mineral makeup-prep step.

Does the Cezanne Make Keep Base leave a white cast?
It carries a medium white cast, which is common for a fully mineral base using zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. The pink-beige tint helps offset it by colour-correcting the skin.
Is the Cezanne Make Keep Base Spf 28 Pink Beige mineral or chemical?
It is a 100 percent mineral formula, using only zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. It is designed as a makeup base and primer rather than a standalone sunscreen.
Is it good for sensitive or acne-prone skin?
It does not sting and has a low pore-clogging profile with a matte finish, so it tends to be gentle, though the feel is a bit heavier. At SPF 28 with good protection it scores 79 out of 100. Patch test first if your skin is reactive.
