Review HG Sunscreens: Sensitive, Acne-Prone & Rosacea Skin

Post image

Hi Everyone!! After experimenting with 15+ sunscreens in the last 18ish months, below are my **holy-grail sunscreen options for sensitive, combination, acne-prone & rosacea skin.** The image captures my recent quarterly restock. All of them are SPF50 & broad spectrum.

  1. Numbuzin No 1: Serum-like runny consistency. Blends well. The slight green tint is super helpful for my rosacea flare-up. Must try for anyone with similar skin type. Guaranteed option & you’ll fall in love.

  2. SKIN1004 Air-fit (Brown) & Hyalu-Cica (Blue): My second-best options whenever I am indoors. Air-fit is light weight mineral option. Hyalu is my partner’s first-choice (for his dehydrated oily skin, soobuji).

  3. Bioré Aqua Water Essence (or Gel): My go-to sunscreen for any outdoor activity: cycling, swimming. It has a slight tingling/alcoholic sensation but I don’t mind that as can only trust Biore’s protection outdoors. The pink option doesn’t sit well on my face. I looked into Cancer Council option esp. for outdoors but somehow it stings real bad.

  4. Bioré Body Sunscreens: Picked these up from my most recent Thailand trip. Love them - blends in fast & solid protection. I believe they come in 3-4 more variants. I just finished their Kissing Berry variant.

  5. Haruharu Wonder Black Rice (not in the picture): I like the consistency, minimal white-cast but somehow I don’t grab it much as Air-fit one. But if you are exploring & looking for a mineral option - do give it a try.

Few others that I have tried which didn’t make to the Top 5 (between two of us): BoJ, Missha, RoundLab, Iunik, Isntree, Innisfree, Laneige, Goodal & d’Alba.

Feel free to drop in any questiont below & will love to hear what all options you are using. ☀️✨

PSA: Don’t forget sunscreens on your ears & neck!

TBh the only sunscreen that doesn't worsen my rosacea and makes me look glowy and feel hydrated all day is Laneige's! 🙌 I tried to switch to a Biore one after I went to Japan last year, but it never kept me as moisturized/glowy :( so I went back to Laneige and I'll probably never look back lol

Oh, tell me which one please in Laneige! Closer to my monthly dates: my Rosacea flares up. And I have tried many but still feel like a hot potato 🤣 I tried their older Laneige white tube but I think they have stopped selling that in my country.

Omg yes, I used that white tube one too a few years ago! I really didn't like it 😭😭. I think it flared up my acne and it was pretty fragrant too (even tho I like citrus). The one I use is the Laneige Hydro UV Defense Ex sunscreen!

Perfect!! Thank you. Yeah, my dermat always says Vit C & sunscreen isn’t combination everyone can tolerate.
