Is the LANEIGE Neo Cushion Glow a good sunscreen?
Protection is rated weak and it scores 49.0/100, so it is best treated as light makeup with some sun protection rather than your main sunscreen. Pair it with a dedicated SPF for real sun exposure.
Does the LANEIGE Neo Cushion Glow 2in1 Beige SPF 46 Pa++ leave a white cast?
No, white cast is rated low, and as a tinted cushion it blends into skin. The finish is balanced and lightweight.
Is it mineral or chemical?
It is chemical, using older Homosalate plus mineral Titanium Dioxide, so it is a mostly chemical tinted cushion.
