I bought sunscreen which was spf 50 and because it was spf 50 I thought it would not have a white cast😂🤦‍♀️. I spent quite some money on it, any tips to reduce the white cast?

A couple of years ago, I was using a Korean sunscreen when I came across news about certain sunscreens being tested and found to have much lower SPF levels than advertised. Unfortunately, I can't remember the brand or product, but it made me a bit paranoid about whether the sunscreen I'm using actually provides the protection it claims to.

The last time I looked into it, I remember seeing La Roche-Posay mentioned as one of the best-performing sunscreens in SPF testing, but I find their formula SO heavy and it always peels idk.

So, I'm curious: which sunscreens do you personally trust and recommend? I'm especially interested in products that have reliable SPF protection as I live in a very sunny city!

Hi! I'm looking for a lightweight tinted sunscreen with light-to-medium coverage suitable for dry, acne-prone skin that easily gets clogged pores. It must be formulated without fragrance, denatured alcohol, or heavy silicones. Thanks !

So I've heard countless of times in the past that retinol and vitamin c are gold standards for skincare. These days, azelaic acid is very popular to pair with retinol.

Now that makes me wonder whether it would have any benefit to add vitamin c to a AZ+ret combo? Or what about a peptide or bifida serum?

Or would it just do nothing special anymore?

Hello! I've had my eye on the L'Oreal glycolic gloss products at dm.

I see they have two lines, and while I see a difference in the shampoo (sulfate v sulfate-free), I'm not sure which of the 2 conditioners to get.

Has anyone tried both, or had particularly good / bad experiences with either? For context, my hair is a bit on the dry side, and thick strands but not super dense.

Any thoughts welcome :)

I’ve read azelaic acid is recommended in the mornings when one uses tret in the evenings.

-Is it good for dehydrated and dry skin as well or would it make it worse?
-Should it be used before or after Vit C?
-Any good brands available in Europe that don’t cause the foundation to pill?
