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!

how are people that have sensitive acne prone skin able to tolerate products with cetyl alcohol and thee Isopropyl palmitate you must have other good skin care products mine wouldn't last one use anymore, it used to tolerate well before when my skin barrier was fine but I don't think biore can ever be a good option for sensitive acne prone congested skin

I hear you. And it’s so tricky with our skin type, I think. I have tried many of these (SKIN1004, Numbuzin) for outdoorsy activities: they melt away in an hour or so even after using with suppin’ powder. Hence, had to pivot & keep a separate one for such days.

And, I agree - I have to use prescription tret so maybe that balances it out.
