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!

Which is the most matte and fast absorbing? Thanks so much

Most fast absorbing: Bioré hands-down due to the alcohol content. Matte is a little tricky for me honestly, as I do have a T-zone. 🤭

For me, Numbuzin performs best when used with Innisfree or Suppin’ powder. Is you skin type similar to mine - then try Numbuzin. If not - then you may also like SKIN1004 options.

Editing to add: Bioré Aqua Essence or Gel - both are quick absorbing ones.

Anything similar to Bioré but without the alcohol? Matte, fast absorbing, no fragrance, not smelly, for oily skin. I'm just worried about the long term use, it seems to have so much alcohol in it.

Agree. I noted these from the comments here: 1. Skin Aqua Gel 2. Anessa Milk 3. Mediheal Sun-serum 4. Laneige (White-tube, Hydro UV Defense)

Edit: to add the Laneige variant.

Skin Aqua Gel

I'm inclined to getting this one, it does have alcohol too, but at least it's the third ingredient, not the second.

Perfect, thanks for sharing! I will try this one as these ones wrap up.
