do you guys have a favorite sunscreen that feels like you are wearing NOTHING on your face and doesn’t sting your eyes?

there have been 0 US sunscreens I can stand to smell, apply, and wait for the dry down. they ALL sting my eyes too.

asian ones I have tried:

- Beauty of Joseon (tiktok famous version) - nice smell, beautiful to apply but it’s heavy, moves around and doesn’t actually dry down

- Beauty of Joseon Aqua Fresh - it’s like the first one but much lighter! it’s my favorite so far. still think i can find better.

- Isntree watery sun gel - horrible sunscreen smell, ok to apply, kinda heavy but dries down ok

any other recs I should try out?

Hi! I have a fair to medium skintone. I live in uttarakhand in the plains region where it gets very humid and hot in summers. My skin is extremely oily and gets clogged very easily. Whenever i use any sunscreen I get closed comedones, cystic and even whiteheads.

I have used uv doux and acne oc sunscreens, minimalist fluid one, reequil, dot and key and some other sunscreen also but every single one of them gave me severe acne mostly closed comedones. Please suggest some good sunscreen to me. I read all other threads but most of them were just recommending reequil, conscious chemist, derma co., dot and key, aqualogica, etc. which i have used and were not suitable for my skin even if i double cleanse

My absolute favourite I have are Mixsoon Centella with spf 50 (for work)and Ducray Melascreen(cream version) because it’s also anti spot(I think it has AzA). I use the ducray one when im outside walking.

Some background: need it ONLY for hands and face because the rest of my body is covered. I rarely stay in strong sun because I don’t like the sun.But unfortunately my shifts usually start around noon so there’s 15 minutes that I have to walk in sun and in summer,all my sunscreens get wiped by moustache area sweat and forehead. Im unfortunately very sun sensitive and get weird red spots from it (that usually go away after a few hours).

•combination skin,gets oily in summer. Very fair,little rosey because I had rosacea (don’t seem to have it anymore)

I heard european ones with the encircled „UV“ are safer and better regulated. But my skin didn’t respond well to UVMune from LRP.

Who knows some cosmetically elegant ones like Mixsoon?This one honestly feels like face moisturiser and a lightweight one. But im afraid it won’t be enough and summer is just around the corner. Any recs from dm or similar? Or from a website.Anything sweat proof that doesn’t make me look like a chandelier? I don’t like the glass skin look,doesn’t suit me.

Any help is appreciated.

If you use blotting papers after sunscreen so you can put make up on and not have it slide off your face, do you make it ineffective?

I bought it last year, and got more and more tan in the spring then got sunburnt in the summer when I used it. I layer it, I re-apply it, it just doesn't seem to do anything. I LOVE the texture as I can't stand that feeling most sunscreens leave on my face. So I'm really bummed and wondering if anyone else have got this experience or if I got a bad tube?

And any other similar sunscreen recommendations (oil-free) would be appreciated too. I'm in the UK

Looking for a rec for any everyday sunscreens that would also be a good moisturizer

Hi! I’ve searched this brand in this group before and end up getting results that suggest MANY other brands. But I kinda like the smell of this one? It’s affordable? It doesn’t bother my skin….

Just wondering… is it secretly junk or something? How come none of you sunscreen fairies suggest it?? (By fairies I mean experts in a good way - I look up to each and every one of you lol)

hi all! I’ve searched but can’t seem to find a continuous mist spray that is fragrance free to spray over my makeup when reapplying spf. I’m naturally prone to dry skin so reapplying with spf powder isn’t ideal.
