Reddit mentions of COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream SPF50 PA+++, 50ml

Ooo, I'm addicted to both Amazon and skincare so this thread is my jam.

• Cosrx Aloe Soothing Sun Cream! My skin is dry and very prone to dehydration so I can't use a lot of the popular AB sunscreens that have high amounts of alcohol. But most of the alcohol-free sunscreens I've tried never seen to dry down so they're hard to wear under makeup. This one is happily in the middle ground, it does have some alcohol in it but it's halfway down the ingredient list instead of at the top so it doesn't dry me out, and it manages to actually dry down enough to wear makeup over it.
  
  
• Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Lotion is another favorite of mine. The "premium" version is a major upgrade from the regular version IMO. I've used them both extensively and the thicker texture of the premium version is so much nicer. Fifty Shades of Snail's review convinced me to upgrade and I've never looked back.
  
  
• Elta MD UV Pure is a really nice physical only sunscreen - good for when your skin is overly sensitive or recovering from a peel or overzealous use of actives.
  
  
• Nexcare Acne Absorbing Covers are excellent for putting over whiteheads and/or zits you couldn't restrain yourself from popping.
  
  
• Packs of microfiber cloths are excellent if you like using a washcloth in your skincare routine but want something softer than terrycloth. I bought two 12-packs, I have a big pile of them next to my sink, I use a new one each night and then toss it right into the laundry to keep things super sanitary. Just learn from my mistakes don't put them in the wash with new terry cloth towels because the new towels will shed all the fuck over them and you will be picking fuzz off of them for weeks.
  
  
• Less skincare related than the rest but still sort of: this unscented Alaffia Shea Butter Bubble Bath is excellent if you have sensitive skin.
  

If you're looking into skincare, then definitely start a basic routine and get a good cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen if you don't already have them. Here's a few recs I have: cleanser moisturizer sunscreen. If you're really serious about treating pimples, then look into AHAs, BHAs or maybe even trying Differin. Only thing is that you have to be committed to wearing sunscreen every day if you go that route, and your skin WILL purge (get worse before it gets better).

Looking great man!
Since you are looking for a replacement sunscreen and I am a bit passionate about that; I would advice you not to get near The Ordinary’s Sunscreen. It will make you look like a ghost, unless that is the look you are going for :)

I have a couple of suggestions that you will like; they are light, airy, no white cast and better filters:

• PURITO Comfy Water Sun Block SPF50+ PA++++
  
  
• COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream SPF50 PA+++.

Not sure of your skin type but given the tret, assuming you have some dryness. If that's the case, I would suggest [Cosrx] Aloe Soothing Sun Cream SPF50 PA+++ 50ml . It's very moisturizing and soothing, but light enough for daily wear. CosRx is a popular brand with some solid products.

You can also check the sidebar for HG sunscreens, a lot of people like the La Roche Posay or Biore Watery Essence as well.

Cosrx Aloe Soothing Sun Cream SPF 50+. I have very dry skin and this is definitely the creamiest, most moisturizing sunscreen I have ever used. Plus it leaves no white cast.

I think /r/asianbeauty might be your best option for cross posting. Especially if you know which sunscreens irritated you. Here is a list of cruelty free brands. I would recommend starting here with Cosrx and moving from there.

What kind of skin type do you have in general? I for sure got little bumps over time when I wore some generic Neutrogena sunblock I got from the drugstore* (but it was 100 SPF and that's what makes it more effective right, the higher numbers?? oh foolish, sweet summer child, pre- r/asianbeauty me) but I also tried this LRP and my face didn't really take to it kindly at the start.

If you have very sensitive skin, Elta MD is the way to go. It definitely sinks in lightly and just doesn't feel like anything on your skin after maybe 2-4 minutes.

I really liked my Biore UV Aqua when I had it but I just went through it way too fast. It's the HG for a lot of people in terms of face sunscreen, but I personally can't justify the price, and don't require something with ~superb texture necessarily, since I don't wear makeup often and never wear foundation.

If your skin isn't too too sensitive I would just try different stuff Asian brands out! I've been wanting to try out this COSRX one next.

​

* Also, make sure to wash it off every night! Doesn't matter if you wore makeup or not, sunscreen you had on all day and got covered in dust/grime = no-no for sleeping with overnight. That's the reason I got little bumps, anyway!

​

I have only 1 recommendations because my country don't take in a lot of sunscreens because of strong regulations.but i would look into mineral sunscreens. This is one of the few i have tried and really love. My 1 recommendation is Cosrx mineral sunscreen without whitecast, few ingredients and aloe vera. https://www.amazon.com/COSRX-Aloe-Soothing-Cream-SPF50/dp/B00PBX3FLW

It does However have an addition of fragrance, its not heavy but If you have very sensitive skin i would be aware of that. I have combination/oily skin and very acne prone, and I love this one.

Eucerin used to be my favorite before I went vegan. I really like the Cosrx Aloe Sun Cream for a daily facial moisturizer. It's a little thicker than the Eucerin but won't make you greasy or break you out. https://www.amazon.com/COSRX-Aloe-Soothing-Cream-SPF50/dp/B00PBX3FLW/ref=sr_1_14_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1548962895&sr=1-14&keywords=cosrx

wow your skin is so glowy!! i'm jelly! A starter kit I would recommend:

-oil cleanser: Kose Speedy Oil Cleanser (washes away clean, non-stripping, takes errrthang off)

-regular cleanser: Cerave Hydrating Cleanser (non-stripping, no frills)

-exfoliating toner: The Ordinary Glycolic Acid toner (can help with your issues described, sounds like closed comedones)

-essence: Secret Key Starting Treatment Essence Rose Edition (plumping, even skin tone over time)

-anti-aging specific: The Ordinary Buffet (or buffet+peptides wow good stuff!)

-moisturizer: Peach Slices Honey Aqua Glow (lightweight gel moisturizer that packs a punch!) or The Ordinary NMF (no frills, does the job)

-SPF: CosRX Aloe Soothing Sunscreen(no white caste, dries to a natural finish, non-drying)

You can find other great stuff on their Amazon store

something with aloe in it! Maybe CosRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream?

my daughter suffers from eczema and isn't into makeup yet, so we've had a little experience in reducing the redness without cosmetics... for her, what's worked best is a combination including

gentle face wash

good, consistent moisturizing

overnight:

and sunscreen

and when there's time for "extras" she's been really happy using some soothing sheet masks, too in both Aloe and Green Tea

I know it's not exactly what you were looking for, but there's a chance that some additions to your skincare could help reduce the symptoms you'd like to hide... if I'm way off base and you're looking for makeup, please let me know and I'll run through my husbands "cheat sheet" stuff for presentations!

Hello AB! I'm super new to this sub, but I've been trying to learn.

Skin Type: Dry/dehydrated (?) with hella oily t-zone

Country/Climate I'm in: Southeast U.S.

Top Skin Concern: controlling oil and PIE

Current Routine/Products I'm Using:

AM

1. Splash face with water
   
2. Stridex in the red box
   
3. Ponds Rejuveness Anti-Wrinkle Cream
   
4. Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream (this might be out of order but my foundation looks amaze when I use this last)
   
5. I know I'm missing a sunscreen and currently patch testing Cosrx Aloe Soothing Sun Cream
   
   PM
   
   
6. Remove make up with Simple Micellar Water & cotton round
   
7. Cleanse with jojoba oil, remove gently with tissue
   
8. Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream
   
9. SheaMoisture Raw Shea Butter Ant-Aging Moisturizer
   
10. Prescription adapalene 0.1%
    
11. Aquaphor
    
    I'm specifically looking for help with my oily t-zone. I swear, it's like that one episode of The Office where they use grease to get the boxes of paper into the truck. Using Innisfree No Sebum powder helps, and I use a lot of blotting sheets, but I'm worried this much oil production means my skin isn't retaining any moisture?
    
    Every cleanser I've tried makes me feel dry, even micellar water or splashing with regular water. I'm still very new to learning about AB, so I haven't tried any AB cleansing products.
    
    Any advice, or suggestions to improve my routine, is very much welcome! Like I said, I'm very new to this so if anything outside of my main concern is a red flag, please feel free to let me know!

I've gotten this Cosrx one the past few times. Its not a matte finish but it doesn't have any white cast or dry out my skin. I haven't heard of MD solar Sciences so I'll have to check it out!

has anyone ever tried Cosrx aloe suncreen? Is it any good? Does it leave a white cast etc?

I have been loving this stuff. It wears really well under make up and the spf is higher than most.

28M, scandinavia, combo skin(oily T). Over the last 6 months, I've gotten a lot of weird, vertical creases on the forehead.

Some of them seem to be naturally occurring others I have no idea where come from. I've tried taking a few pictures, but my camera's quality isn't that great: https://imgur.com/a/K9Xaifa

The things I've noticed, which you might also see in the pictures:

• All the way near my hairline, I have a number of small vertical creases. If I run my finger firmly over that area, it feels like my skin is a bit like a sinus curve. From what I can tell, I do not wrinkle this area naturally with facial expressions.
  
• I have a big vertical crease on the right side of my forehead(think it's visible in the last picture). I do not wrinkly my skin here either with facial expressions.
  
• Two vertical creases have begun around the center of my forehead. I think these can be partially attributed to facial expressions. The thing is that I rarely make facial expressions on day-to-day basis. However, I'm worried that I wrinkle my forehead while sleeping. I work at a screen all day. My doctor has recommended getting an eyesight test.
  
• I seem to be getting a horizontal furrow. Possibly as a results of my eyes being furrowed/protruding somehow.
  
  A redditor here kindly helped me out with some recommendations for products, and I read about over-exfoliating and transepidermal waterloss. I stopped using all actives for a while, because my skin on the forehead felt really, really tight. I ended up buying a CeraVe cleanser and moisturizer, which helped my skin feel more comfortable again. Afterwards I've gone back to my normal routine, although I've made a change by adding retinol in the evening:
  
  AM
  
  
• Foaming Cerave cleanser for normal to oily skin
  
• COSRX AHA BHA CLARIFYING TREATMENT TONER
  
• Benton - Snail High Content Essence
  
• C-Vitamin Serum
  
• Tatcha - The Water Cream(probably will buy something cheaper next time)
  
• COSRX Aloe Soothing Cream SPF50
  
  PM
  
  
• Foaming Cerave cleanser for normal to oily skin
  
• Indeed Labs Retinol Reface Resurface
  
• Tatcha - The Water Cream

I use this one and am going to rebuy next month so I won't run out. No whitecast, no greasy feeling and it's also moisturizing.

Is this milia? I am talking specifically about the little bumps below my eye.

I think I have finally found peace and harmony with my current routine, which is a blend of Asian beauty products and my long-standing "American" (I guess?) method.

My skin type is fairly balanced and my usual AM routine is

• micellar water to remove makeup
  
• Dickinson's witch hazel as toner (this smells terrible btw)
  
• Cosrx AHA BHA toner
  
• Cosrx soothing aloe spf 50 which is very emollient and doubles as a moisturizer
  
  At night I do the same thing, but I skip the AHA / BHA toner and I use CeraVe in the tub.
  
  I do get milia on my cheeks occasionally, though the AHA / BHA seems to have drastically cut down on that. Perhaps I should start toning just below my eyes, but I always thought that area to ber very sensitive!
  
  Also, any tips on getting rid of these blackheads without popping? I have considered working a regular second cleanser into my routine, but my skin has mostly behaved so I wasn't sure it was necessary. That said, I used cetaphil for years and found it slightly drying, but not too irritating.
  
  So, to recap: how do I get rid of the bumps below my eye, and my blackheads on my cheeks? Thank you!

This CosRX one is flawless IMO. A bit pricey for how much you get, but it goes a long way. I use this for my face/neck/acne prone areas, and I use This Elta MD one on my body, It's still really good but a lot cheaper/volume.

With physical sunblock containing zinc, it's gonna happen. With the US-approved reactive sunscreens, they also react with many soaps and turn red instead of white. I second the suggestion for Biore sunscreens from Japan. I used the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence for my face and their slightly cheaper Watery Gel for my tattoos. No zinc to white cast and none of the reef-killing reactives to ruin my clothes in the wash. They can be found on Amazon or eBay, sometimes with two day shipping and sometimes with month-long shopping.

I really like the Cosrx sunscreen. It does have a light fragrance which is not my fave but on the other hand it's very moisturizing, protective and non-greasy, it gives a new healthy glow.
