Instead of foundation, maybe I should try a BB cream? This is such a ridiculous idea: - Strong mineral sunscreen. Great for those who don't get along with chemical sunscreens. - Despite the 'high sunscreen index = irritation and dryness' formula, it's not overly drying. - Somehow, Innisfree's yellow sunscreen didn't work for me. The oily residue caused my foundation to slide around and a few small blemishes to pop up (and this was after just one day of use!). In that sense, this product is okay. Less greasy. - It has the typical heaviness of a mineral sunscreen, but not as heavy as the Innisfree yellow one. For reference, they have the same sunscreen index.
Cons- Color. I bought the 'natural' shade, but this is seriously poop-colored? My coworker asked me why I looked so sickly today -_-. - During the less-than-a-week I used it, I felt some subtle tingling sensations. It's not acne, but something small keeps popping up. I stopped using it. - (Below average) the typical heaviness of mineral sunscreens and the hassle of thorough cleansing are included. If I had continued using it, those bumps might have turned into full-blown acne. - Worse coverage than average BB creams + no radiance whatsoever in my color mismatch = stuck in my room.
Tip- As someone with thin, sensitive skin and clogged pores that quickly turn into acne (which can also arise for other reasons), I've gone through a lot of trial and error between mineral and chemical sunscreens. - The reason I ultimately settled on chemical sunscreens is not only because I dislike the heaviness, but also because I can find chemical sunscreens that don't irritate my skin, and even if there is some irritation, they can calm it down overnight. - I think that's better than dealing with the emotional distress of cystic acne and waiting days for it to heal. - This mineral sunscreen isn't overly heavy overall, so those who want it can use it as a sunscreen-primer combo and then apply foundation on top for an extra boost in coverage.
