About this sunscreen
Soft touch Sunblock And Whitening Cream SPF 60 is a hybrid product pairing the older chemical filter Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate with mineral Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. It tends to show some white cast with a dewy finish and stays lightweight, but it carries a higher risk of clogging pores and is a poor choice under makeup. It does not tend to sting with sweat, and its protection rates good. The score of 63.2/100 places it as a middling option, better for dry skin than for acne-prone or makeup-wearing users.

Does Soft touch Sunblock And Whitening Cream leave a white cast?
It tends to show some white cast with a dewy finish, partly due to its mineral Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide content. The look leans glowy rather than matte. That tends to suit drier skin better.
Is Soft touch Sunblock And Whitening Cream good for oily or acne-prone skin?
Less so. It carries a higher risk of clogging pores and is a poor choice under makeup, so it is not the best fit for oily or breakout-prone skin. The dewy finish suits drier skin types more. Patch testing is sensible if your skin reacts easily.
Is Soft touch Sunblock And Whitening Cream any good?
It scores 63.2/100, a middling result. Protection rates good, but the higher pore-clogging risk and poor makeup compatibility hold it back. It is better suited to dry skin worn on its own.
