Mineral or organic sunscreen
Mineral filters, such as zinc oxide, sit on the skin and are a common pick for reactive skin. Organic filters, often called chemical, absorb UV and usually leave less of a cast. Both can be broad spectrum if the label says so.
The format you will wear every day beats the format a forum prefers. White cast on deeper skin is a real reason to choose a different filter, not a reason to skip sunscreen.

Your skin with new products:
In the app
Want a record of sunscreen format finder, not a one-off?
Sunscreen format finder settles the question above. The app is where that decision can be checked against six skin scores over the following weeks.
- Six saved scores: hydration, texture, tone, acne, pores, and redness
- A morning and evening routine built from the scan
- The same face, week after week, so a change shows up as a trend
Scan with your phone. iPhone opens the App Store. Android opens Google Play.
The science
What the sunscreen format finder quiz decides, and what it leaves alone
- 01
A structured question, not a photo score
A quiz fits when the answer depends on behavior, a label, or a number you already know. A camera cannot see how a product feels, what else is in the routine, or whether a breakout started after a new active.
- 02
How this page reaches a label
The questions cover Your skin with new products:; White cast:; Finish you will actually wear:.
Tied answers stay tied. If two labels earn the same weight, both are shown, because forcing a single winner would invent confidence the answers did not have.
- 03
What the label means, and what the app records
The labels it can return include Start with mineral, Organic filters are reasonable, Tinted mineral, Either filter, if you will use it, Matte finish, Dewy finish.
The AISkincare app keeps a scan: hydration, texture, tone, acne, pores, and redness, then builds a morning and evening routine from those scores. This page answers once and does not store the photo.
Use the label to choose a next step, then check it against a scan if the question was about skin rather than about a product or a style.

Where this kind of check runs out
Ingredient charts are estimates from published lists, not a lab test of your bottle and not a medical clearance.
If the honest answer to a prompt is 'it depends' or 'I am in pain,' stop and treat that as the result. The page cannot examine you.
How to use a sunscreen format finder result
Look for broad spectrum and SPF 30 or higher. Test the jaw in daylight for cast and for sting. Reapply with the reapply planner when you are outside.

How to answer so the label is worth having
Answer for the last two weeks, not for your best week or for a photo you wish you had taken. If a prompt is about a product, use the ingredient list on the bottle you own, not a similar product from another brand.

A label today, a score over the month
Sunscreen format finder can be retaken when the routine changes. It will not show whether redness or texture actually moved. That comparison is a scan in the same light, saved in the app.
The QR code under the tool sends an iPhone to the App Store and an Android phone to Google Play.
What the sunscreen format finder quiz cannot decide
Ingredient charts are estimates from published lists, not a lab test of your bottle and not a medical clearance.
It cannot see beneath the skin, predict a reaction to an ingredient you have never used, or replace a clinician for a spreading rash, a changing mark, or painful acne.
How to use the result
- Look for broad spectrum and SPF 30 or higher.
- Test the jaw in daylight for cast and for sting.
- Reapply with the reapply planner when you are outside.
Where to go from here
If one part of the result stood out, open the tool that asks only that question. Each one states its limit in the same place, and each one links back to a guide when a longer explanation helps.
- Opened product expiryCheck a typical period-after-opening window for creams, sunscreens, and vitamin C. The symbol on your jar overrides this page.
- Routine cost calculatorAdd what you paid and how long each product lasts. See the monthly cost and which bottle is most of the spend.
- Ingredient conflict checkerPaste the actives you use and see which pairs to put on different days. Some famous conflicts are real irritation risks. Others are overstated.
- Ingredient list decoderPaste a product's ingredient list and get a plain-language note on the actives and additives this guide recognizes. Unknown names stay unknown on purpose.
