Bioderma Photoderm sunscreen leaves a white cast and greasy shine. How should it be applied correctly to avoid these effects?

Bioderma sunscreens — especially Photoderm MAX and Photoderm Mineral — contain physical filters or a combination of physical and chemical filters, which can often cause:

a white cast due to the thick formula,

a greasy shine because of the high concentration of UV filters.

How to reduce these effects:
Shake the bottle well before use.

Apply a very thin layer to well-moisturized skin.

For oily skin, try Photoderm Nude Touch SPF 50+ — a lightweight mattifying fluid that helps minimize shine.

Use an oil-absorbing product to reduce shine, such as blotting papers or a light loose powder on top.

If the sunscreen still feels sticky or leaves a white residue even when applied correctly, it likely means the formula isn’t suitable for your skin type.
