There is a slight white cast that disappears once it absorbs.
Plus, it can easily be layered over makeup or moisturizer when its time to reapply.

This wallet-friendly face sunscreen from Hero is perfect for everyday wear thanks to its lightweight and soothing texture.
It has a pink tint to it.
It runs when it comes into contact with water.
