About this sunscreen
Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42 PA+++ in No. 23 Natural Beige is a tinted base that combines Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate with Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. It wears with a balanced, lightweight finish and low white cast thanks to the tint, does not commonly sting, and is low on the pore-clogging scale. As a BB cream it doubles as light coverage and sits okay under makeup. With a score of 68.8/100 and good protection, it is a reasonable everyday tinted option, though its filter set is on the older side.
