    • It's an excellent everyday moisturizer1:07
    • It has these compounds from Centella which have been shown actually to be supportive of healing processes1:09
    • This is probably I want to say tube number three, four, I don't even know at this point of this particular sunscreen1:51
    • It's really great as a daily facial moisturizer and if you're going to wear makeup over it, you will be quite happy because it's a really great base for makeup1:58
  2. drdrayzday mentioning celimax Pore+ Dark Spot Brightening Care Sunscreen SPF 50 at 03:27 in their YouTube video
    • This I loved
    • The feel, the finish is a little thicker in comparison to that skin 10042:34
    • This has tranexamic acid applied topically shows a lot of promise for helping to improve the skin barrier as well as reduce redness2:50
    • This also has niacinamide which I love14:36
    • It's another one that's really good for helping the moisture barrier
    • This is easy easy to use around your eyes
    • It's very moisturizing
    • It's not heavy
    • It's not greasy

    • Great in general for sensitive, dry skin4:37
    • Very few jazzy ingredients that could potentially irritate4:39
    • Fragrance-free, of course4:45
    • This sunscreen is super super dewy
    • I actually love it
    • It's not greasy though
    • It's super moisturizing
    • It has panthenol
    • It also has niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and peptides, which all are great for moisturizing the skin5:27
    • This sunscreen is a fun one
    • If you don't like dewy finishes, you're not going to like this6:07
    • It kind of gives you that glowy beaming star bright, starlight, first star I see tonight effect6:14
  4. drdrayzday mentioning Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Moisture Airyfit Sunscreen SPF 50 at 06:49 in their YouTube video
    • This is a go-to for me
    • It's a much thicker texture6:35
    • It's moisturizing, a little thicker, a little richer, but again, not heavy or greasy, easy around the eyes6:48
    • It does have niacinamide6:55
    • This is a great sunscreen7:07
    • If you like a richer, thicker formula, but you don't want something super heavy, I think you would like that one7:12
    • It's a go-to
  5. drdrayzday mentioning ROUND LAB Birch Juice Moisturizing Sunscreen SPF 50 at 07:40 in their YouTube video
    • This is another go-to for me
    • It has niacinamide
    • This one is a little bit more in keeping with the skin 1004 texture-wise, a lot more lightweight, not a rich cream, more of a lightweight gel lotion, borderline gel, I should say7:26
    • The birch juice is full of hydrating, soothing compounds7:37
    • This really is great not only for the entire face, but of course, you want to be taking the sunscreen down to the vulnerable neck skin7:42
    • This is a great option9:04
  6. drdrayzday mentioning Eltamd UV Skin Recovery SPF at 09:32 in their YouTube video
    EltaMD$50.00
    • What I like about this is it has a green tint to it, which is great for color correction of redness9:21
    • This also has some antioxidants in it, which are helpful for soothing the skin9:26
    • This would be a great formula for anyone who likes mineral sunscreens, but does not want that chalky, thick, pasty texture that many mineral sunscreens can offer9:33
    • It's got a smooth glide on the skin9:49
    • The cast on me is not noticeable
    • I love using this as a makeup base, and I find the green color correction in this is quite good10:07
    • It really helps hydrate and then the green helps to even out overall skin tone quite a bit by masking some underlying patches of redness10:11
    • If you have seborrheic dermatitis, I think this would be a great option as well just for moisturizing and protecting the skin and getting some cosmetic color correction with that green tint10:21
  7. drdrayzday mentioning CeraVe Invisible Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 at 10:57 in their YouTube video
    CeraVe$16.99

    • It's moisturizing, not the least bit greasy or shiny10:54
    • It also does not peel at all, which is wonderful10:56
    • Sometimes mineral sunscreens, they get a little flaky, and when you try and put makeup on over them, they make a mess. Not the case with this whatsoever11:00
    • It's got ceramides as do all of CeraVe's products
    • This product is great under makeup11:32
    • It's not water resistant

    • This is a chemical sunscreen, water resistant, 80 minutes12:28
    • This is a fluid formula
    • This is shiny, but I have no issue with the shininess personally12:13
    • I find that it does kind of diminish after some time, after it's had adequate time to dry12:19
    • I never have any issue putting makeup on over this12:26
    • It does not burn or sting around the eyes whatsoever12:30
    • Nor does it seep into the eyes12:32
    • That's an advantage of water resistant formulas, especially in humid climates where you start sweating at the drop of a hat12:36
    • This has been excellent here and I highly recommend it if you don't mind the shininess12:44
    • I have loved so much13:13
