About this sunscreen
Missha M Signature Real Complete BB Cream is a tinted SPF 25 base that relies on Zinc Oxide as a pure mineral filter. It wears matte and lightweight with low white cast thanks to the tint, is low-sting, and is generally low for pore-clogging. As a BB cream it doubles as light coverage and an okay makeup base. SPF 25 gives moderate protection, so at 69.2/100 it is a handy multitasking base rather than a dedicated high-SPF sunscreen.
