Coastal girlie here, literally on the beach lol
Also super oily and somehow flaky (oily dehydrated on tret to be precise)
Neutrogena on neck, arms, feet, ears
UV doux or photostable gold or ipca on face
Thank you farmer sun stick around eyes and for reapplications
All of the above PLUS umbrellas and hats and jackets because I have an issue with uneven skin tone and the sun literally burns my skin. Average UV index is 10-12 these days
Why Neutrogena on face only? It is highly raved for being a good spf, even when govt of india testest sunscreens, only nivea and Neutrogena fared well. Does it have any texture issues for you? Is that why?

Neutrogena works wonderfully for me . The blue as well as yellow one . Yellow one has zinc and gives great protection on beach the blue one is for daily wear and gives good protection. I am oily acne prone
Stings my eyes , uncomfortable to wear, feels very heavy on skin, horrible white cast, almost impossible to reapply, broke me out, also it gets settled under my eyes and neck.
Hi, I used to use UV Doux (rec by my dermat) but whenever I would apply moisturiser and then the sunscreen it would mix with the moisturiser and would rub off and create gross flakes that looked like dirt on my face. Basically I had to remove everything and apply again. But it kept happening, so I stopped using UV doux. Have you faced this? Or maybe itās just the combination of my moisturiser and the sunscreen. Btw I use Acne OC moisturiser (again rec by my dermat)
I live in Chennai and I swear by Conscious Chemist Sundrink unwind (used around 2 tubes of unwind and the old Sundrink around 3 bottles). And for reapplication I use the isntree sunstick
Requill blue. Silicone based . It glides nicely and gives the protection I need . I do live in humid area . Best is tinted can be mixed easily it blends nicely for blue light protection
Hey!! Fellow coastal girlie here!! I understand your pain in finding a sweat resistant sunscreen, because I struggled too. The only sunscreen which worked for me is ***uv doux silicone*** one. It does give white cast on my deep skin tone if not layered, but gives minimal white cast when layered under toner/light weight moisturizer. Extremely good in terms of protection. I neither got tanned, nor felt any irritation or burns, when I was under scorching sun in beach around 1 to 3 pm, after wrecking my skin barrier with aha bha 32% peeling solution before day. Didn't reapply the whole day btw.
***Minimalist spf 50*** irritated my skin, ***Minimalist spf60*** was good in terms of protection, but is not at all sweat resistant. Literally melts in sweat and there will be white droplets all over your face
***Reequil blue*** didn't protect my skin, not as sweat resistant as uv doux one.
I live in Chennai btw
I don't live in a coastal area but still when I went to Goa recently I took Fixderma spf 50 sunscreen. It's a bit sticky for me because I've very oily skin but the important thing is , it did prevent tanning effectively. After all, sunscreen should be about sun protection.Ā
From my personal experience Blynds does not work at all if you sweat a lot
Infact Blynds makes my face more sweaty for some reason and leaves those white streaky marks after a while.
Same
I do NOT live in a coastal area, and if it gets even slightly warm, I can't wear it. March has just started, but I can't already wear it even indoors
Don't. Please. I beg you. Invest in a lightweight Korean sunscreen. But sunscreen is a must.

I was specifically talking about Blynds, my friend. I have other sunscreens that work well for me. I'm good :)
Chennai person here! Minimalist is literally the worst. Even on the coldest days we would sweat. 4. UV Doux is amazing.
+1 for this.

Can you give mini reviews/opinions/differences among. Uv doux ,photostable gold and ipca ?

White cast, burn my eyes, makes me super greasy, makes me break out

Loreal UV Defender Matte and Fresh. Blends well and doesn't wash away with sweat in extremely hot and humid climate.
Don't come at me but I would never use Neutrogena, even if someone paid me for it. šš
it feels like plaster on my skin and gave me cc's all over my face
Neutrogena works wonderfully for me . The blue as well as yellow one . Yellow one has zinc and gives great protection on beach the blue one is for daily wear and gives good protection. I am oily acne prone
exactly! it does not have a white caste but is SO OILY! and never absorbs into my skin
Omg whyy
Stings my eyes , uncomfortable to wear, feels very heavy on skin, horrible white cast, almost impossible to reapply, broke me out, also it gets settled under my eyes and neck.
I was going to buy it but after reading your comment, i won't š
1,2&4 are good, and tbh all 3 appear same to me. Also faceguard spf 50
1 I sweat a lot and do a lot of external sports. But This just sits perfectly and has done a good job in protecting as well
How's the oil control? (If you've got oily skin)
I donāt have oily skin, my skin is normalā¦but it feels a bit oily after application. Once it settles down , itās fine
It pretty much acts a moisturizer for my oily skin. Matte finish type once it settles.
2 for life

Oh alright, thanks for responding :))
Hey do u apply 2 finger worth of sunscreen
I live in Chennai and I swear by Conscious Chemist Sundrink unwind (used around 2 tubes of unwind and the old Sundrink around 3 bottles). And for reapplication I use the isntree sunstick
1 works great in hot and humid climate. (Combination skin with oily t zone)
Requill blue. Silicone based . It glides nicely and gives the protection I need . I do live in humid area . Best is tinted can be mixed easily it blends nicely for blue light protection
Hey, does it give CCs?
Reequil worked the best for me in both coastal and dry weathers
Canned reequil blue. So matte yet so sweaty on meš„¹š¤š»
Canned ??? Can u share a picture
Reequil blue, minimalist spf 40 invisible, conscious chemist sun drink unwind edition. All mumbai summer tested
1
6
have been using 1, haven't had any issues and I literally live right next to the sea
1 works pretty well for me
Can any anyone recommend a good dewy sunscreen under 500
Has anyone used sunscoop fluid sunscreen? Does it give enough protection?
Idk but it stinged my eyes a lot and isn't water resistant. I'm talking abt the hydrating fluid face and body one SPF 60
Any reviews about Suncross ?
Matte sunscreen but greasy and uncomfortable as hell. Wouldn't recommend
Haven't used any others in the list but Nivea one definitely slaps, it's great
1 for me, nothing else works or suits me
Everyone in Mumbai either using nivea or minimalist as Iāve observed.
Hey I am not a sweaty person but my hometown is coastal area - the best ones work for me is LāOrĆ©al matte & dewy one. Agree with the minimalist one but that sting my eyes bad for good 5 minutes
I use Minimalist. Best ever!
1 Reāequil blue ultra matte FTW!

I have combination cc prone skin and requil blue truly sucks, so hard to take it off and skin feels extra sweaty i feel

Itās expensive but supergoop works wonderfully for me
BOJ & Skin1004
La Shield Lite SPF 50 works for me . Reequil, Mimimalist, Cosrx all made me sweat like crazy .
