Daytime serum & sunscreen recs

[namasteak]

I was thinking of getting the Ole Henriksen Truth Serum because of the amazing reviews but am willing to try something else!

Previously I had foundation that had SPF but now I'm using one without. I've heard good things about the one from Tatcha.


I am 31 with dry breakout/congested pore prone skin that is starting to get fine lines.

The Hey Honey Good Morning Serum is my HG. It really helps brighten my face without it my skin starts to look dull I think. Ulta carries it online and the Hey Honey site also runs 30% off sales frequently.
For sunscreen the Biore Water Essence SPF is amazing. I get it on Amazon.

I just ordered the Shiseido sunscreen as I heard it was good for dry and possibly aging skin. I haven't gotten it yet though, so no reviews for you. And it won't be her until January or February

I switch between Lancôme Advanced Genefique and Loreal Youth Code Regenerating Serum.

Pippin, do you use the Biore sunscreen by itself or do you use it on top of moisturizer? I really don't want to add another layer to my routine but I need SPF!

I pat it on after my moisturizer. It's very light feeling and just sinks into my skin quickly. I honestly can't tell I'm wearing it at all and it lasts all day. This past summer when I started using it was the first that I avoided sunburns completely. I love it.

Is the one I use (on third container) and love it for my dry ageing skin.

I used the Tatcha one and really liked it.

If you have dry break out prone skin, and have not spent time in the Asian skincare thread, let me just say that you need to learn the difference between dry skin and dehydrated skin. Because I thought I had dry break out prone skin, but what was going on is that my skin was breaking out due to being dehydrated. Dehydration is when your skin lacks water, dry skin is when you skin lacks oil. If you treat dehydrated skin with oil, it's like trying to wipe up an oil spill with a dry sponge, and you get a break out from the excess oil that can't get into your skin.

Here is one link that explains it but there are tons more if you google the two that may explain it better for you.

I like Josie Maran for a daytime moisturizer. Good SPF levels. If my skin is especially dehydrated, I put a base layer of the Drunk Elephant hydra b gel down before I put that on my face.

Thanks ESF ! I started that thread but there is so much info! I need to put aside some time in the computer (instead of my phone) when kids are asleep to really absorb it. Reading your link now!
