EVERYTHING THAT I AM LOOKING FOR AND IS HOLY GRAIL STATUS
I cannot even tell you how many I've purchased! The bottle is tiny BUT it is affordable and can be used on face and body. Smoothes the skin so it acts like a primer before makeup
CANMAKE Mermaid Skin Gel 01 Clear 1.41 oz (40 g)
you have to buy this from YesStyle because the SPF 50 version is superior! Thin, watery texture yet intensely hydrating from the hyaluronic acid
Isntree - Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel
MY TRAVEL SPF!!! Affordable, non scented, moisturizing without any stickiness, can be used on face and body
Black Girl Sunscreen Kids SPF 50 Sunscreen
moisturizing glow, soothing, and has a triple hyaluronic acid complex. Perfect to prep the skin before makeup. I use this in my pro MUA kit
Frudia Blueberry Hydrating Air Fit Sunscreen
Sensitive and acne prone skin friendly and now comes in a jumbo size! Can be used for face and body
Innisfree Daily UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++
The most lightweight sunscreen I've tried! Similar in texture to the Smashbox Primerizer
Thank You Farmer Sun Project Water Sun Cream SPF 50+ 1.75 fl oz, 2-pack
I do not splurge in high end SPF, but Shiseido is my exception. Ultra clear, hydrating, anti aging skincare benefits. Has a clean scent which I do enjoy
Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protector Lotion SPF 60+
Shiseido knows how to get down with sunscreen. This is a milky texture that dries down matte. AMAZING for oily skin girlies BUT it is pricy
Anessa Perfect UV skin care milk sunscreen
Shiseido really is that girl I'M TELLING YOU!!!! This sunscreen literally is glass skin in a bottle. anti aging ingredients, milky texture, ultra lightweight, and hydrating
Shiseido Elixir Daily Brightening UV Emulsion Protector SPF50+
4 Star
STILL AMAZING PICKS AND CROSSES OFF MOST OF WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR. WOULD 100% BUY AGAIN STILL
MAY BE DISCONTINUING! extremely hydrating, soothing, and is great for oily skin. Would be 5 stars but it's hard to find
Neogen-Dermology Day-Light Protection Airy Sunscreen SPF 50
hydrating serum formula. It's very similar to Canmake but at a higher price tag
It Cosmetics Hello Sunshine Invisible Sunscreen For Face SPF 50
I carry this in my pro MUA kit. I personally don't like the texture on my skin, but it is truly clear and blurs the pores while protecting the skin.
Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen SPF 50
lightweight, hydrating, no white cast. Everything I love in a SPF but it didn't fully stand out to me to continuously repurchase!
Beauty Of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics (SPF50+ PA++++)
On par with Beauty of Joseon for me
Birch Moisturizing Sunscreen UVLock SPF 45+ Broad Spectrum
I can skip a moisturizer with this sunscreen. Dries down like a lotion and never feels greasy.
belif Aqua Bomb Sunscreen SPF 45
3 Star
JUST OKAY. GREAT WHEN I USED IT, BUT DIDN'T STAND OUT TO ME TO BUY AGAIN
I enjoyed this at first because it is pretty clear for a mineral sunscreen BUT IT SMELLS LIKE SUNSCREEN!!!
HydraKate Illuminating SPF 50+ Drops
I used to use this religiously in 2017 but haven't picked it up since. Texture is similar to the Benefit Porefessional, so its a great matte smoothing base before makeup.
Cotz Face Prime & Protect SPF 40 Tinted
2 Star
FRUSTRATED AND WOULD NOT USE OR RECOMMEND AGAIN
light veil of coverage but does smell like sunscreen the longer it sits on the skin
La Roche Posay Anthelios Mineral Tinted Sunscreen for Face SPF 50
