Here's what our community thinks
Avène Mineral Fluid SPF 50+ 33 ingredients
absolutely not. too greasy and leaves a white cast even after you let it dry down
Has a super strong whitecast, it literally makes me look grey. It says it leaves a matte finish, but it's just greasy. I know it is a mineral sunscreen so it's not meant to absorb, but it just stays on top of my skin. Not hydrating either, and clings on dry patches.
