Is Vision Face Fluid SPF 30 good?
Yes, it scores 83 out of 100. Protection is rated excellent and it combines modern filters with a light, matte feel.
Is the Vision Face Fluid Spf 30 good for oily or acne-prone skin?
It has a matte finish and is low for pore-clogging, so it generally suits oily and breakout-prone skin. It is lightweight and does not sting.
Does it leave a white cast?
White cast is rated very low even with titanium dioxide in the mix, so it should stay largely invisible on skin.
