Does the VILLAGE 11 FACTORY Perfect Airy Sun Cushion SPF 50+ PA++++ leave a white cast?
No, white cast is rated low. As a hybrid cushion that leans on chemical filters, it tends to blend in clear with a balanced finish, so it is generally easy to wear on most skin tones.
Is the VILLAGE 11 FACTORY Perfect Airy Sun Cushion SPF 50+ PA++++ good for oily or acne-prone skin?
It can be a comfortable fit. The pore-clogging risk is rated low and the finish is balanced rather than greasy, which oily and acne-prone skin generally tolerate well, though personal reactions always vary.
Is it mineral or chemical?
It is a hybrid formula that leans chemical, using filters like Homosalate and Ethylhexyl Salicylate plus the modern absorbers Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate and Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine.
