Favorite Sunscreen?

It's the spring sale and I was hoping to stock up on a good sunscreen. The only sun screen I've tried from Sephora is the Biossance Squalane + Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 PA +++  I have sensitive skin the can get exzema and rosacea flare ups.  Any one have a sunscreen they recommend for a sensitive face? I'm so fair and burn very easily 😯

Re: Favorite Sunscreen?

@CynthieLu My all time favorite is the Tatcha Silken Pore Perfecting Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 35 PA+++ 2 oz/ 59 mL it's quite on the pricey side but I somehow always repurchase it even after dabbling in and even liking many others. There's truly something special about this one. My sister has rosacea and eczema and this is the only sunscreen she will put on her face.  

Re: Favorite Sunscreen?

I'm surprised I've never heard of this one before @QueenMarceline , it's such a stand out brand. I'm going to look in to this one, I'm hoping the sell it in Canada. The FDC has so many strict rules for sunscreen over here. There's a bunch we don't get.

For my face I pay the $$ 😅 for whatever feels good and dosen't aggravate my cherry cheeks lol

Re: Favorite Sunscreen?

@CynthieLu Completely agreed! Go to a local Sephora and see if you can maybe get a sample. 🙂

Re: Favorite Sunscreen?

The store here is anti samples, so many purchases with out them 😞 Its a bummer because I adore samples to try out. They will however, let you try some on the back of your hand, I'll get a feel for it that way lol @QueenMarceline 

Re: Favorite Sunscreen?

@CynthieLu Really? I've never had an issue at a Sephora. They will usually just give you a little container and give you some from the tester to try out to take home with you. You just have to ask an associate 🙂

Re: Favorite Sunscreen?

I think it's a policy at the stores here, but I will ask next time I go in @QueenMarceline exactly,  it's nice to try out a bit before purchasing.  I hate returning products, it's just way to wasteful imo

Re: Favorite Sunscreen?

Supergoop! hands down for facial sunscreen. I love the Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40 Sunscreen with Hyaluronic Acid + Niacinamide but the glow is *intense* at first. It settles into the skin so nicely though! I always get compliments on how great my skin looks if I’m wearing it. It is slightly tinted, but veryyy slightly. I’ve also tried the Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40 PA+++ & love it as well!

Re: Favorite Sunscreen?

Thank you @tbw95 I appreciate the recommendation. Finding a good sunscreen is so hard.  I used Supergoop! Mini Unseen Sunscreen Invisible Broad Spectrum SPF 40 PA +++ 20 mL for the first time this summer and it was very easy to wear, but I never saw the one you mentioned at the store,  with hylaronic acid and niaminicide 😍 My skin likes those ingredients 

Re: Favorite Sunscreen?

I really like the Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen! I have sensitive skin and also get eczema flare ups on my face and it doesn't irritate it all. Also doesn't leave a white cast which is great for me.

Re: Favorite Sunscreen?

I have recently been loving Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen Invisible Broad Spectrum SPF 40 PA +++ 2.5 oz/ 73.9 mL  It’s invisible and has a gel like consistency.  It can be used as a primer too .  My makeup sits just fine on it.  No skin irritation either.  I have sensitive skin w/ rosacea and eczema. @CynthieLu 

Re: Favorite Sunscreen?

Thank you @Cissy63 that one has really good reviews! I'm happy to hear this one is gentle on exzema and roseca skin 😘

Re: Favorite Sunscreen?

@CynthieLu  Your welcome 

Re: Favorite Sunscreen?

I'm in the same boat, I touch my face and it looks like I have a sunburn. I've tried a lot of sunscreens, including the biossance. Try the Farmacy GREEN DEFENSE daily mineral sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 1.7 oz / 50 mL  Doesn't leave me oily or dry (I have dry skin) and doesn't make me so red like other sunscreens.

Re: Favorite Sunscreen?

@Yana7 thank you for the advice.  My skin is so reactive 😭😅 and dry too. I appreciate the tip 💛

Re: Favorite Sunscreen?

I use this sunscreen called aloe soothing sunscreen by COSREX Its really good works well for any skin type and for sensitive skin it doesn't have a bad affect leaves no white cast,not very oily and it hydrates your skin its only 16 dollars 

Re: Favorite Sunscreen?

Thank you @Achonie , oh my gosh that's a great price! Defintley worth giving it a try! Finding a sunscreen for the face is so hard 😫

Re: Favorite Sunscreen?

I have pretty sensitive, fair skin and I have had great luck with the Coola Matte mineral sunscreen before. Right now I LOVE the Supergoop! Unseen sunscreen. Almost has a primer like feeling and just makes your skin so smooth and it’s very lightweight! 

Re: Favorite Sunscreen?

@Gillamgirl yes! This one has great reviews. I just purchased it and I hope my face and it get along 😅 Thank you for the advice!
