About this sunscreen
Scinic Enjoy Safety Mild Sun Cream is a fully mineral sunscreen relying on Zinc Oxide as its only UV filter. It finishes matte and lightweight, does not sting, and has low pore-clogging potential, though as a single-filter mineral formula it can leave some white cast. Makeup compatibility is okay rather than ideal. Protection is rated moderate, so it suits gentler daily exposure more than long days in strong sun.

It can work for oily and acne-prone skin. The finish is matte and lightweight and pore-clogging potential is rated low, though protection is only moderate.
