I liked the good coverage and the appropriate amount of moisture without being too dry. It was a watery formula and not heavy. I usually can't use just any sunscreen because they make my skin dry, but this one worked well for me.
Cons
The spray feels more like a mist than a fine mist, so it seems to be intended for direct application to the face.
Tip
The sales associate recommended that since the spray is on the thicker side and has a white cast, it's better to dispense it onto the palm of your hand or the back of your hand and then apply it, rather than spraying it directly on your face. That way, it should work well.

This sunscreen is quite gentle, with no harmful ingredients.
Cons
Terrible white cast... It comes out cream-like if not shaken... While the ingredients look good, the rest is not great.

The spray format makes it easy to use, and it's gentle, which I like. It gives a nice, brightening tone-up effect before applying my makeup base.
Cons
I don't have any major complaints and have been using it well. If I had to nitpick, the spray force could be a bit stronger.

The sunscreen has a high UV protection index and the ingredients are very gentle. The case is pretty.
Cons
The white cast is absolutely terrible. It's not a gray-tinted white cast, but it really turns my face extremely white. It makes my face look like it's floating. Even though I have a fair complexion, the white cast was severe for me. However, if I only apply a small amount and lightly blot it with a puff, the coverage can be improved with makeup. The major issue is that it causes a lot of greasiness. When I apply this sunscreen, a lot of white grease/sebum builds up in my pores. Even after removing it, my nose in particular gets very greasy, and my cheeks which normally don't have much oil, also get those white grease/whiteheads. I had to use cleansing oil and strong foam cleansers daily to try to remove the grease, but my skin ended up becoming too dry. Yet the grease still doesn't go away completely... After using this sunscreen, I don't even want to use mineral sunscreens again. I didn't realize in the store that the white cast would be this severe due to the lighting, if I had known, I wouldn't have bought it. It's difficult to remove and causes too much greasiness, so I have no intention of repurchasing. And if I apply it on my body, it feels sticky and unpleasant...
Tip
I'm thinking of trying to use it in the winter to see if the greasiness won't be as bad.

I could not find any truly remarkable aspects about this product.
Cons
I have never in my life purchased such an expensive and worthless product. I bought it because they said the ingredients were good, but after applying it, I had a terrible acne outbreak on my forehead. My skin still hasn't recovered, and I may need to see a dermatologist. What I disliked the most, though, was the smell. When I applied this product, the odor was truly unbearable. The white cast was also extremely severe, and the greasiness was overwhelming... I have absolutely no intention of repurchasing this.
Tip
This was the worst product for me.

It's too heavy for my skin and doesn't absorb well, so I don't really recommend it.
Cons
My skin is dehydrated and oily, and the application is not great. It gets extremely shiny over time, and my skin gets very dry, so I don't recommend it. The white cast is also very severe.
Tip
Those who are not sensitive to mineral sunscreens and don't mind the white cast may still want to give it a try.

The product seems to be really good as it provides a natural and seamless tone-up effect. The sun protection level is also high, so a small amount can provide sufficient UV protection. It can be used as a base or instead of a primer before starting makeup, which is quite nice.
Cons
I had a breakout. My skin felt slightly peeled and stung whenever I touched it. There were also some bumps that appeared. So my skin is still very irritated... It also feels very dry and flaky.
Tip
Mixing it with oil would make it usable for those with dry skin as well. The high SPF means you only need a small amount. If a breakout occurs, discontinue use immediately. Even without harmful ingredients, it can still cause breakouts.

The tone correction is natural and well-adhered, allowing for seamless makeup application. It's really great to use before makeup.
Cons
While it didn't seem itchy or irritating at first, within a few days, I had a breakout of milia. So I stopped using it, and once my skin calmed down, I tried it again, only to have the same issue. If you have oily, sensitive skin, I wouldn't recommend this.
Tip
You can purchase this affordably from the Bioderma official online store.

I was looking for a sunscreen that doesn't leave a white cast, and this one was great in that regard!
Cons
The texture just feels really weird to me. When I apply it, it's like the powder is getting all oily and greasy, if that makes sense. It just feels really greasy and powdery on my face, and I don't like the way it feels at all...

The product applies thinly and has good ingredients. When properly absorbed, it has a fluffy, soft feel. The mild whitening effect is also nice.
Cons
While it didn't cause any breakouts, the absorption was not great. Be sure to apply a moisturizer before using this product!
Tip
When applying with your hands, it doesn't spread well and clumps up. Be sure to do proper hydration care and apply immediately. Using a puff to apply is also a good idea.
