Does Naruko Am + Pm Peptid SPF 50 leave a white cast?
No, white cast is rated low. It is a hybrid formula, but the chemical filters help keep it from looking chalky despite the Titanium Dioxide.
Is the Naruko Am + Pm Peptid Spf 50 good for oily skin and does it work under makeup?
It looks well suited. The finish is matte, the pore-clogging risk is low, and it rates well as a makeup base, so it should layer cleanly under cosmetics.
What SPF is it and how does it rate?
It is SPF 50 and scores 81/100 with excellent protection. That makes it a strong everyday face pick.
