Typically around two weeks thereabout. The no tint one for FaceScreen Plus leaves a slight whitecast. Because I’m very fair, so it’s not very noticeable and works nicely when I layer powder over.

If you’re slightly darker and a whitecast bothers you, then you might want to do with a light tint. The light tint worked for me too but when I got a new foundation, which was a shade darker, it was overall too dark.

Hi Sesame,
I’m just wondering how long does it take the products to ship(US$12 for postal cost)to SG? Would you recommend Light-tint or no-tint? Thanks a lot.

No, just the oil and then the facescreen plus. That serves as a moisturizer too.

The tinted version is a bit powdery although the new formulation may have improved. The non tinted one leaves a slight whitecast and so not so great for those with darker skin. I like the non tinted one better cos the tinted works only works well with my lighter foundation powder.

Thanks for your quick reply! Other than the oil, do you still put on moisturizer before the sunscreen? I saw the website offering MV Moisturizing Face Screen Plus in ‘No-Tint’ and ‘Ligh-Tint’. Do you know the differences? I remember you mentioned in one of your posts that the sunscreen is powdery.

This is tricky. I have some readers reporting that the high zinc oxide content makes their skin dry. This is true cos zinx oxide can be drying. However, the mix of oil in the formula balances it out and it works very well for my combination skin. But I still need a layer of oil underneath for my skin to feel thoroughly moisturized though.

The product isn’t cheap and so I’m hesistant about recommending you and asking you to to ahead and try.
