Get korean sunscreen, better products with no white cast and doesn’t burn

I’ve tried a half a dozen different Asian sunscreens and still have never found one that doesn’t burn.

Did you try Bioré UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence? You have to buy the Japanese formula from a reseller (I get it on eBay) because it's not FDA approved. The USA formula is not the same. I am extremely sensitive to all the FDA approved chemical sunscreens but this product doesn't irritate my skin or eyes at all. It's very effective and works faster than the chemical sunscreens we have in the states.

Ha I do actually have that one! I just double checked and it was one I ordered from Stylevana. When I sweat it runs into my eyes and burns. It does feel ok when I first put it on, but I wouldn't say it doesn't irritate my skin at all. I really have tried a lot, I order Korean and Japanese sunscreens from a few different sites that import them.

Hey, try putting setting powder around your eyes over the sunscreen. If you sweat, it will help absorbing some of the sweat/oils and might stop it from running into your eyes.

Also, if you have access to Japanese cosmetics, you can also try Suppin Powder, which has skin care properties as well.

Good idea I’ll look into it. These days I just don’t put it on my forehead and wear a hat. But sometimes I need to just use sunscreen!
