Does Nivea Luminous 630 Day Fluid work under makeup?
Yes, it works well as a makeup base. The lightweight fluid sets matte with low white cast, so foundation tends to sit nicely on top.
What SPF is the Nivea Cellular Luminous 630 Anti Dark Spot Day Fluid SPF 50 and is the protection strong?
It is SPF 50 with excellent broad-spectrum protection. The hybrid filter blend combines Avobenzone, Ethylhexyl Triazone and Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine for high UVA and UVB coverage.
Is it good for acne-prone skin?
It is generally suitable. The matte fluid rates low for pore-clogging concerns, which tends to help blemish-prone skin. Note it may sting slightly near the eyes for some users.
