suncream, zits and wrinkles: rolling skincare thread?

I got the eltaMD UV Clear and I loooooove, but it is zinc-based so I dunno about the PA stuff.

Xps that nivea one gets a lot of good reviews from skincare enthusiasts

I've tried the Skin Aqua - they have a few different formulations and all of them are really light and non-greasy and highly recommended (the one I'm currently using is in a pink bottle). iirc the one that's more waterproof/sweat-proof comes in the yellow bottle.

ok I just sprung for the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence, it's sweat/waterproof (where the Nivea is not) and it's supposed to go on clearer than the gel. Fingers crossed!!

Dhc cleansing oil is changing my life

One of the best - been rotating between that and banila co’s clean it zero for a few years now (basically buying whichever one happens to be in stock or on sale when I run out)

Oh yeah I've been using the DHC at night for years now. Pretty much one of the first things I bought and stuck with when I started reading about skincare etc

Glad we are all happy with our cleansers!

Re sunblock--should I be trying to source one of the Korean faves that's not approved here yet? I don't use any at all because both the chemical and physical options available here inflame/burn/hurt my skin. I just wear hats and/or suffer. I'd like to do better though. Any recommendations or sources?

I use Avene Hydrance Optimale, the 'light' version. It's spf20 and fine as a non-heavy base for makeup

I mean, this is basically my catchphrase now, but the bastards discontinued it - there is a version that seems similar but is not.

Re sunblock, I don't know, I mainly use that fluid one, maybe La Roche Posay? for face. For body, any old stuff but I am growing to hate the claggy/greasy feeling.

I don't think I can tolerate the zinc, inconveniently for me.

have you tried supergoop unseen sunscreen?

Yeah Anthelios in both the matt fluid & stick form rules

i have never tried cleansing oil -- should i? i loathe the word cleanse but i will get over it if the product is good and affordable.

Yes definitely, I had a sample Sephora sent me and I was really impressed.

There are also lots of oil based balms out there right now for double cleansing. I'm using a cheap drugstore balm for the 1st and then a gentle non-foaming cleanser afterwards. The Elemis cleansing balm is fantastic but expensive.

Caroline Hiron's did a collab with pixie that has an oil based balm and a cream cleanser that is really great.

I too like Supergoop's Unseen Sunscreen a lot. It's what I'm using at the moment.

Xps Beauty of Joseon makes a great Korean sunscreen - very lightweight, doesn’t sting my eyes, no white cast.
