Does the Skin1004 Centella Air-fit Suncream leave a white cast?
It can leave a medium white cast, which is common for zinc oxide mineral sunscreens. Blending it in well and using a thin layer generally helps reduce any visible residue.
Is the Skin1004 Centella Air-fit Suncream Light SPF30 Pa++++ mineral or chemical?
It is a pure mineral sunscreen based on zinc oxide, with no chemical UV filters. That makes it a good fit for people who prefer mineral formulas.
Is it good for acne-prone skin?
It has low pore-clogging potential and a balanced, non-stinging finish, so it is generally agreeable for acne-prone and sensitive skin. Patch testing first is always sensible.
