The verdict

What the panel makes of it.

Farmacy makes this mineral sunscreen as a daily lotion. It came out around 2018 from South Korea. The formula uses zinc oxide and titanium dioxide as physical blockers. People with sensitive skin buy it. It stops UV damage without chemical filters. Shoppers track it weekly across multiple platforms.

In their words

i am super picky about spf for my face, but this lives up to the hype! picked this spf up during the 20% sale & it’s so worth it! if you are looking for a mineral sunscreen, this is amazing! it blends effortlessly and is super light weight. Absolutely no white cast- the finish is beautiful under makeup too! Perfect for oily and acne prone skin.

I have combination skin and I love sunscreen and this brand. I was really looking forward to the sunscreen because I also enjoy using mineral sunscreen, but this one PEELS. I use toner, serum, and at the end the honey moisturizer, but this one peels no matter what I do. I may be using it wrong, but I’ve tried layering it, using half the amount I usually use, use it on dry skin, but nothing helps.
