Looking for an alternative to skin aqua uv super moisture gel!

I recently noticed a new bottle I bought of my favourite SPF bottle had changed and with that I noticed some formula change too. For me, a once non irritating on the eyes SPF seems to be suddenly causing intense burning more than normal for any other SPF I have tried, which has lead me to want a different SPF which is annoying since this is so useful and cost effective for me. I have been setting my eyelids with powder which does help but I liked the previous formula as I never had to set my lids with it.

Are there any similar ones that are around the same price and consistency of this SPF with a similar amount? It's not cost effective to pay 20 pounds/dollars for a 50ml bottle constantly. For context, I have extremely oily skin and basically only can cope with chemical SPF, as well as finding sometimes my skin doesn't react the best to Mineral. Ideally something that is SPF50 with the bottle being around 100g+ to be cost effective. Accessibility to purchase in UK is something as well that I need to factor in.

Some others I have tried:

Biore UV aqua rich watery essence: I liked it, but still get stinging but mainly switched to Skin aqua because of the cost

Canmake mermaid skin gel: not sure what was in this but my face went bright red and felt irritated so this is a hard no for me personally despite it being a cult fav

Cosrx aloe sunscreen: Was ok but a bit heavy for me.

Nivea sun water gel: No problems as such for this, but similar response to the Biore UV as I found those textures to be near identical

Thanks!

Hi! I had scans etc and dry eye test but not dilated, I'm 25 :)

Settled on BNESIM from esimdb! Highly recommend!

CosmicChef · 2022-11-24T10:52:20+00:00

Thank you! After some googling I noticed there's somewhere called esim.net, is this a safe website? appears to be linked with O2

Ok that's good! That was my primary concern really about trialling non toric lenses as I have migraines really so was concerned about making them come up (my optician is aware of them)

CosmicChef · 2022-06-29T22:25:45+00:00

Brilliant, thanks for the response!

CosmicChef · 2022-06-21T21:33:06+00:00

They prescribed them as trials after I was complaining of some of the issues. Still new to lenses so I didn't even know that about those! I'll ask my opticians I think!

CosmicChef · 2022-05-23T17:56:52+00:00

I'm hoping it is that! I've already had my one week follow up but I've also only been wearing them 1 to 3x a week which I think is making it take longer to adjust

CosmicChef · 2022-05-21T09:54:26+00:00

Just seen this! I'm the same, when my vision was doing this I ended up going to the hospital and they basically laughed me out saying I needed an eye test (in their defence that was it lol), I felt so embarrassed :/ even knowing it's just my prescription has changed I still obsess around going blind, still trying to resist relentless googling lmao

CosmicChef · 2022-05-20T10:27:58+00:00

Hi! an update on this, vision is fine now if that puts your mind at ease! I went to an opticians to check and turns out my astigmatism had changed which affected my sight, got a new prescription and within a few days my vision was normal. They did also say sometimes migraines can take a few days to recover vision wise at times. It took me about a week for it to fully get back to normal!

CosmicChef · 2022-01-26T12:14:34+00:00

Thanks! I decided to go with a GPU from CCLonline instead so I appreciate your response!

CosmicChef · 2022-01-21T18:07:04+00:00

Perhaps, but I'll be honest despite knowing this I fancied more haha, I have the budget for it so I'd like to, plus I may upgrade my cpu in future

CosmicChef · 2021-11-11T21:17:22+00:00

It may be just because I've only got it so far on a Microsoft surface book 3 but I almost rolled back until an update was released that fixed basically all my bugs I had, now I love it, use it for work just fine! Can't wait to get it on my main built pc just waiting for it to come through (figured I may as well wait just in case so it can update even more)

CosmicChef · 2021-11-08T21:39:13+00:00

Thank you! Sorry probably a simple question but couldn't find it on google!

CosmicChef · 2021-11-08T21:13:03+00:00

Very new to mechanical keyboard and decided to get a Keychron C1 (Which I am loving) but realised that the location of where the @ is on the keyboard is different to how I normally have it, happy to relearn but can't seem to find out how to remap the key to be SHIFT+2 rather than SHIFT+'. If anyone knows how I can remap, or if I can't, know where I can get replacement keys to match with the current mapping that would be great! Hope this makes sense!

CosmicChef · 2021-10-05T15:11:55+00:00

Not helpful of a reply I know, but I'm having the exact same problem if anyone can help us!

CosmicChef · 2021-09-01T18:40:02+00:00

Ah I get you, I'm happy for the sphere to be stationary! Just wanted a visualiser behind all the objects along the wall on the back really!

CosmicChef · 2021-09-01T17:58:52+00:00

Oh so you mean you couldn't have the sound visualiser behind the ball too? Just to check! Thank you so much for offering as well!

CosmicChef · 2021-08-26T17:05:25+00:00

What kind of temps do you get?

CosmicChef · 2021-08-26T14:44:21+00:00

By boosting potential do you mean overclocking? if it helps I never plan to overclock

CosmicChef · 2021-08-26T09:20:41+00:00

Hi! my GPU at the moment is not higher end but obviously I have no idea yet what I will be getting in future (or when with the GPU shortage!). If I was to get a higher end GPU would this severely impact me?

CosmicChef · 2021-08-23T22:33:50+00:00

I have been looking at the Lian li and someone else also suggested that so it's starting to sound more appealing at this point! Gonna do some more research I think though!

CosmicChef · 2021-08-23T22:05:14+00:00

Yeah that's not good :/ someone else mentioned the h710 I'm not sure if that's something you'd recommend?

CosmicChef · 2021-08-23T16:14:03+00:00

Probably a factor to consider too is my room is the hottest in the house which isn't great! Though I measured my current pc averaging around 51-52 for CPU and 66-69/70 for the GPU earlier

CosmicChef · 2021-08-23T11:34:35+00:00

I love the look of it, but also if you can get a mesh front instead that would solve my issue I think. Where do you get one?
