About this sunscreen
Derma Beauté SPF 30 Tinted Sunscreen is a hybrid formula combining chemical filters with Titanium Dioxide for a tinted, dewy finish and low white cast. It is lightweight and generally non-stinging with low pore-clogging risk, but it is a poor base under makeup, likely because of the tint and dewy slip. Protection is rated excellent. With a score of 65.6 out of 100, it is a fair choice for those who want light coverage and a glow rather than a makeup primer.

Does the Derma Beauté SPF 30 Tinted Sunscreen leave a white cast?
No, white cast is low. The tint and the hybrid filters with Titanium Dioxide help it blend rather than leave a chalky finish.
Can I wear makeup over it?
It is rated a poor makeup base, likely because of the tint and dewy slip. It works better worn on its own for light, glowy coverage than as a primer under foundation.
Is the Derma Beauté SPF 30 Tinted Sunscreen good for acne-prone skin?
It has low pore-clogging risk and is generally non-stinging, so it is reasonably acne-friendly, but the dewy finish suits normal to dry skin more than very oily skin.
