Does DR. SCHRAMMEK Daily Hydra Maximum leave a white cast?
No, white cast is rated low. It is a chemical sunscreen with a dewy finish that absorbs cleanly, so it generally suits most skin tones.
Is the DR. SCHRAMMEK Daily Hydra Maximum SPF 20 good for oily or acne-prone skin?
It has a low pore-clogging tendency and does not commonly sting, so it is generally agreeable for breakout-prone skin. The dewy finish, though, leans hydrating rather than mattifying.
What SPF is it and is it enough?
It is SPF 20, which is lower than many daily sunscreens. It scores 77.0/100 with good protection, but the modest SPF makes it better for light, lower-exposure days.
