About this sunscreen
ROUND LAB 1025 Dokdo Sun Cream is a pure mineral sunscreen using titanium dioxide as its only UV filter. It keeps a balanced finish and feels lightweight, with a medium chance of visible white cast that is common for mineral formulas. It is non-stinging and low on pore-clogging risk, making it gentle in feel, and it works okay under makeup. Its weak protection rating holds the score to 49.0/100, so it suits light daily use more than high-exposure days.
