Some By Mi Truecica Mineral 100 Calming Suncream SPF 50+ PA++++ 30 ingredients
I have Oily-sensitive skin and prone to acne. This product when applied leave a slight white cast. It irritated my skin, causing redness and drying.
i gave it a try since people said that mineral sunscreen is good for sensitive skin, but this disappointed me, it made my skin irritated and itchy and i developed eczema because of this 🥲 but it didn't broke me out though, i have acne prone skin, so i guess its just not for me.
