"La Roche Posay Anthelios. Super hydrating."
"La Roche Posay is my reliable go to brand for extreme sun exposure and water resistance."
"La Roche Posay is solid, especially for oily skin."
"La Roche Posay is very reliable for water resistance."
"My bf who would rarely make a comment about a skincare product said their anthelios sunscreen is worth whatever ridiculous price I paid for it."
"Any of the la roche possay sunscreens - they don’t have pore clogging ingredients! I am also super prone to cystic acne and do well with this brand."
"I get LRP Anthelios shipped from Canada. It’s cheaper than shipping from Europe and it’s just way better than anything on the US market."
"For extreme outdoor weather I agree with going with a European sunscreen like La Roche Posay"

"I really like Skin1004's Hylaucica sunscreen. No smell, no pilling, very little residue if any."
"It absorbs easily on the skin while being hydrating and perfect under makeup. It fits every skin type and is not irritating."
"Beauty of Joseon Sun Relief SPF 50 and Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50+ PA++++. I believe the last 2 are fragrance-free and alcohol-free"
"I’ve heard a lot about the skin 1004 centella sunscreen while researching skincare products for myself so i think i’m going to give it a try actually"
"I really like using the 1004 Skin Centella Sunscreen. It's more of a serum-sort, so it doesn't pill up like other sunscreens and it absorbs into the skin nicely."
"Pls pls pls try SKIN1004 MADAGASCAR CENTELLA HYALU-CICA WATER-FIT sunscreen serum!!!"
"I've heard their Teetrica SPF is also nice, but I haven't used it."
"I just got Skin 1004 Sunscreen cen-tella. feels good"
"Skin1004 sunscreen you mentioned doesn’t dry down enough. My skin leans on the oilier side though."
