Is IINTAS Blynds AC good for acne-prone skin?
It is well suited. It is rated low for pore-clogging, has a balanced lightweight finish and is rated excellent under makeup.
Is the IINTAS Blynds AC SPF 30+ PA+++ mineral or chemical?
It is a hybrid. It combines mineral Titanium Dioxide with modern filters Tinosorb M, Tinosorb S and Uvinul A Plus, plus Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate.
Does it leave a white cast?
No, white cast is rated low despite the mineral content, so it should wear cleanly under makeup and on its own.
