As a man, the zinc and titanium included has a tendency to get stuck in any hairs or stubble. Therefore, I can only recommend using it when freshly clean shaven! The white cast is not noticeable if you quickly massage it in thoroughly but it does create a more even skintone. I use this as a moisturizer and it really works well for oil control; by the end of the day my face is still matte to the touch. The very light fragrance is very appealing and masks the metallic scent you get with other physical sunscreens.
