About this sunscreen
The Maxclinic Sunkill SPF 46 is a pure mineral sunscreen built on zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, so its protection comes entirely from physical UV filters. It has a balanced finish with low white cast and does not sting, while the texture sits at a medium weight that is a little more substantial than the lightest formulas. Pore-clogging risk is low, which is generally reassuring for sensitive or acne-prone skin. With a score of 79.7 out of 100 and good protection, it is a solid mineral pick for everyday wear.

Does the Maxclinic Sunkill SPF 46 leave a white cast?
White cast is low here. Even though it is a pure mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, it is rated low for cast, so it should not leave a heavy white film on most skin tones.
Is the Maxclinic Sunkill SPF 46 mineral or chemical?
It is a pure mineral sunscreen. Protection comes only from zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, with no chemical UV filters.
Is it good for acne-prone or sensitive skin?
It is generally a reasonable option. Pore-clogging risk is low and it does not sting, with a balanced finish, though the texture sits at a medium weight.
