Day creams and SPFs
Cicapairâ„¢ Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment SPF 30 Dr. Jart+
Avoid. Sampled this but would not repurchase. The color correction is too white on me. Saving for my chest.
Elixir Daily UV Protector SPF 50+ PA++++ Shiseido
Avoid. Purchased the SPF 30 version in Japan and would not repurchase. Too pricy and pilled.
Nutrient Day Cream With SPF 30 Josh Rosebrook
Avoid. Would not repurchase. Threw away because it was unusable. Too thick.
Calm + Restore Daily Moisturizer Mineral Sunscreen SPF30 Aveeno
Avoid. Would not repurchase. Threw away because it was too thick and pilled.
AM Facial Moisturising Lotion SPF30 CeraVe
Avoid.Would not repurchase. Awful. Too thick and pilled. Gave to Doug.
Hyaluron Moist Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ innisfree
TBD. Shocked it has propolis extract because otherwise I am in love with this sunscreen (at least for winter). Doesn’t pill on skin, moisturizes, and otherwise is just excellent for daily sunscreen. Am trying Innisfree green tea to see.
Relief Sun : Rice + Probiotics SPF 50+ Beauty of Joseon
TBD. Initially, this pilled on me. Since then, I have tried to be more thoughtful in terms of leaving time for other products to dry first. So far so good.
Hydrance UV-Light Hydrating Emulsion SPF 30 Avène
TBD. I wanted a mineral sunscreen in case for irritation. Seems pretty thick and I’m not sure I’ll like it. We shall see.
Sun Shelter SPF 50 Decorte
Samples
Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Milk SPF 50+ Anessa
TBD. I think I need a sunscreen like this for the summer. However- it is pretty mattifying and has alcohol, so may dry me out. We shall see.
The Silk Sunscreen SPF 50 Weightless Mineral Sunscreen Tatcha
Would repurchase. I only had a sample of this, but it went on smoothly and didn’t pill under CC cream. Is ridiculously priced compared to Korean sunscreens, but an option (at least a small size) if tariffs get in the way.
Daily UV Defense Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 36 innisfree
Avoid. Trying samples because this is the Innisfree sunscreen available in the US. The SPF is insufficient for my needs however, so won’t repurchase unless tariffs come into play.
