About this sunscreen
Korres Wild Rose CC Cream SPF 30 is a tinted chemical-led formula combining octinoxate and Ensulizole with titanium dioxide. It wears matte with low white cast and a lightweight feel, does not commonly sting, and excels as a makeup base. The low pore-clogging profile is reassuring, but as a CC cream it offers cosmetic-level sun support. With weak protection and a score of 49.0/100, it is best treated as light tinted coverage rather than primary sun protection.
