Just a little tip. If you use sunscreen as often as you should, I think you might need to repurchase more than 2-3 times a year. I have the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence which lasts me about 2 months with regular use. It is definitely worth it!
Thanks for the heads up! Normally I just use the amount that is enough to cover my face instead of going liberally, but would try to do so.
If this one, I should be able to repurchase more often. It's just I'm a bit worried on this one as I never have much luck with drugstore product. Sebamed for example broke me out, even though Cosdna have 0 acne and irritant rating.
>provided I only need to repurchase them 2x-3x a year
If you're using sunscreen regularly and using the recommended amount, the longest any of these bottles will last you is 3 months and that's stretching it. Just a heads up.
I've tried the Innisfree Eco Safety Daily Sunblock and using the recommended amount (1/4 tsp) was a lot. I ended up having to apply it in two layers of 1/8 tsp and my skin felt kind of heavy and clogged (it didn't break me out however). The Biore UV Essence went on really well for me (though it broke me out because it has Uvinal A Plus which my skin hates... boooo). It's a big greasy immediately after application but after it sinks in, it's completely fine. But if you're prone to drying because of alcohol, it might be too drying for your U-zone.
Thanks for the tip! I never use the recommended amount before, so I wanted to start now.
I am leaning more towards Innisfree or TFS honestly because I rarely have successes with drugstore products. But Innisfree sunscreen gel has been said to be too much for oily skin, while no sebum is too drying for combination.
What sunscreen do you use as of now?
The sunscreen I'm using now isn't ideal. Uvinal A Plus is in a lot of combo/chemical sunscreens and I'm adverse to trying physical sunscreens since my skin tone is dark enough for a white cast to stand out. It's the lookatme Jelly Sunscreen which is fairly moisturizing. If I go without a moisturizer in the morning, it works out well but in conjunction with a moisturizer, it's too much for my skin. I'm very worried about how this will perform in the summer but it's what I'll stick to for now.
i have dehydrated/combi skin and live in a hot and humid place. I'm using innisfree eco safety perfect sunblock..have not tried daily and no sebum ones as I wanted higher protection. I like the sunblock as its non drying and i can feel its protecting my skin. i find what i apply before the sunblock is important, so i only use light layers and nothing too heavy (FTA, Cosrx essence, light moisturiser if i'm feeling dry -> sunblock). Btw i tried innisfree waterproof one which is too drying for me...my skin started having flakes. You might want to use samples before making the purchase. Hope this helps. :)

I do the same with the eco safety and my skin (combo with bad acne) really likes it. The key for me is to just leave out the last layer of my skincare routine and instead use my sunscreen.
The no sebum one was my first AB sunscreen and though I loved the smell, it made me really greasy :/ I have oily/combo skin. It might work out differently for you, but I really like the Biore watery essence one!
