About this sunscreen
Qurez SPF 50 UVA+UVB Mattifying Sunscreen PA++++ is a hybrid formula that combines mineral filters Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide with modern chemical filters including Tinosorb M, Tinosorb S, Avobenzone and Uvinul A Plus. It aims for a balanced, mattifying wear and is generally low on pore-clogging, but the mineral content means it can leave a more visible white cast. With an excellent protection rating and a 79.8/100 score, it is a solid pick for those who prioritize high UVA+UVB coverage.

Does Qurez SPF 50 leave a white cast?
It can. White cast is rated high here because of its Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide content, so it may show more on deeper skin tones despite the mattifying finish.
Is the Qurez SPF 50 UVA+UVB Mattifying Sunscreen Pa++++ good for oily or acne-prone skin?
It is generally a reasonable fit. The finish is mattifying and it is rated low for pore-clogging, which oily and acne-prone users commonly prefer.
Is it mineral or chemical?
It is a hybrid. It pairs mineral Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide with modern chemical filters like Tinosorb M, Tinosorb S and Avobenzone.
