Cureskin SPF 50 Aqua Sunscreen with Advanced UV Filters | Broad Spectrum Sun, UVA, UVB, Blue Light Protection, SPF 50 & PA+++, 50 g (Pack of 1)

The media could not be loaded. I've been searching for ages for a decent suncream. I have bad hormonal peri acne, and had read to protect acne scarring you should use a tinted sunscreen with zinc. I also didn't want anything under SPF 50.I want to wear the sunscreen year round so it needs to be a sustainable choice budget wise to use 365 days a year.Being south east Asian it's hard to find shades to match, and although I'm probably on the edge of the target market it's probably the most accessible SPF 50 for my skin tone I'll find.I used elf foundation with an SPF 30 anyway, but I'll be going on holiday where I'll be at the beach and very conscious of the acne scarring and active acne, and I think this will give me the confidence I need to go bare skinned (before this year I never even wore makeup but the hormonal acne has progressed so much I can't bear to even leave the house without foundation)I've added a video to show the coverage on a burn scar on my hand, and I knew it wasn't going to be full coverage I think it definitely lessens what's there. And you can see how it blends and doesn't really leave a white cast=Actual usage=The product arrives with a security seal on the box so that you know it's not been used.When I first tried it, I think it had separated a bit as some water came out, but application was smooth and very pleasantIt actually feels silly Matt if that makes sense! It is a silicone based suncream so sits beautifully under my foundation and it doesn't leave a greasy finish it just feels silkyI want to give this 4 stars as it does contain fragrance, but I quite like the fragrance and it hasn't irritated my skin. And I feel like it's actually helping my skin a bit too as it didn't feel greasy throughout the day. I usually react pretty quickly to any products that don't work for me and have had no reactionI also did top up, just to test, over my makeup and it was fine.It doesn't transfer too badly either, as I thought it might due to the tint.==Ingredients==Silicone based so will work well as a base for makeup (learnt the hard way when I used to popular water based primer and found most foundations contain silicone, so a water based will cause the makeup to split/repel).Zinc oxide: anti inflammatory and can promote wound healing so can help with active acne. Can also help with scarring and dark spots, as well as help eczema and rosacea. And most importantly protect against UV raysTitanium dioxide, a physical sunscreen. Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, a broad spectrum sunscreen and apparently pretty elite.==Final thoughts==This ticks all my boxes for price and I feel like it is actually helping my acne. But most importantly there is no reaction and the addition of a tint + price point gives it 5* from meI don't feel like it's a great match to my skin tone, but a bit of bronzer on the forehead disguises it and tbh when I'm on the beach I don't think anyone is going to be judging. I just will feel more confident knowing that I can top up with a tinyAnd the added bonus that it feels lovely and seems to be helping my acne is a great! So I can overlook the added fragrance (which is actually nice) and the poor colour match is kind of offset by the fact that it doesn't transfer as badly as any of the tinted moisturisers I had tried before giving up and going for full on foundation.

I’ve tried lots of sunscreens and this is one of few I liked.Pros: absorbs very fast, no white cast, no oily skin after, no residue, no shineCons: it has smell, not strong but I would’ve liked none, and it bother my eyes but just a tiny bit.Value for money? 100%.It’s good for the price, In my opinion, it’s better than Beauty of Joseon or other more expensive brands. I currently use Numbuzin nr1, which i will continue to use, but this comes very close when it comes to quality. Very similar, except for the cons, but comparing the price, there is a diferende, this costs 3x less. So this being said, I might just keep on purchasing this too.

Wasn’t expecting it to be this good. I’ve got oily, blemished, uneven skin, and this actually gives really decent coverage. It evens things out way better than I thought it would, without looking like makeup especially important for me as a guy. The finish surprised me for a sunscreen, since it looks more like lightweight skin tint than sunblock. It does feel a little oily after a while, but it doesn’t look oily, which makes it easy to overlook depending on your preference 😊

I do like the product and it works but it dries down too quickly and is quite stiff as a product. I appreciate it being matte but think I’d prefer it to be less dry.

Don't be put off by the colour! It great sunscreen,mat/velvety finish,if applied on top of non tinted mineral sunscreen,spreads beautifully and colour adjusts. Can be wear on it's own too,I like it as a second layer to add colour. Really like it 👍

Dimethicone Dimethicone Dimethicone !!! There is matte then there is MATTE. It looked and felt very dry on my skin. The tint was ok but not much in the way of coverage... I just looked MATTE!!!!The worst part for me was the irritation .. as the day went on i could feel it " prickling " me. could n't wait to take it off.

Absolutely love this & just reordered as my daughter stole it. Lovely texture and stayed on all day; whereas normally my skin would become oily, it stayed matt, but not dry and didn’t sink into lines (I’m 49). Lovely natural colour.

Great suscreen and tint
