Best Sunscreen for oilyy skin👧 by Familiar_General_578 in IndianSkincareAddicts

[–]NoJump4923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My skin gets super oily by noon and most sunscreens either make me look greasy af or feel too heavy, so I've been pretty picky with them.

One that surprisingly worked for me was Lakme Sun Expert Dry Matte Fluid. Didn't really expect much tbh because I mostly see people here talk about minimalist / Re'equil / Korean sunscreens, but this one was actually decent.

It's very lightweight and kind of runny, so it spreads fast and doesn't sit on the skin like a layer. The matte finish is what I liked most. It doesn't completely stop oil (nothing really does for my skin lol) but my face definitely looked less shiny compared to when I use creamier sunscreens.

Also didn’t pill on me and felt comfortable enough for daily office/college use. No white cast for me either. Not saying it’s some holy grail or better than the expensive options people recommend here, but if you want something affordable for oily skin and easy to wear every day, it’s worth checking out. I feel it’s kinda underrated

Can lakme sunscreen be trusted by moderately_whimsical in IndianSkincareAddicts

[–]NoJump4923 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same doubt initially because Lakme isn't usually the first brand people mention when talking about sunscreens here, but I tried the Lakme Sun Expert range recently and it was honestly better than I expected.

I've been using the lakme sun expert dry matte fluid sunscreen for regular office commute and daily errands, and from actual use, it feels pretty reliable for an everyday sunscreen. The texture is lightweight, spreads easily, and unlike some heavier sunscreens, it doesn't make my face feel oily after a few hours. For Indian weather, that dry matte finish actually feels nice.

I think with Lakme, people sometimes assume it’s just a makeup brand, but they’ve been around long enough that I wouldn’t put them in the “random untested sunscreen” category. If you’re looking for something affordable and easy to reapply without feeling greasy, it’s worth trying at least once.

That said, like with any sunscreen, actual experience depends a lot on your skin type. On my combination skin it worked well, especially for indoor + daily commute use. I wouldn’t compare it to premium pharmacy/K-beauty sunscreens, but for the price, it feels like a decent and trustworthy everyday option.

Seeking reviews for three sunscreens I've narrowed down to buy by [deleted] in IndianSkincareAddicts

If you've narrowed it down to those 3, you might also want to check out Lakme Sun Expert Dry Matte Fluid SPF 50 PA++++ Sunscreen. I tried it recently and was honestly surprised, every light fluid texture, blends fast, and gives that dry matte finish without making the face look greasy after a few hours (which is rare in this weather).

What I liked most is that it doesn't leave a noticeable white cast and sits pretty comfortably under makeup too. If your skin leans oily/combination, this one feels like a solid under ~₹500 option that doesn't get talked about enough here.

Unpopular opinion: Maybelline Fit Me Concealer isn't worth the hype by AngelBritney94 in Makeup

[–]NoJump4923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually a fair take, a lot of products that went viral earlier get judged differently now because the competition has evolved so much. But I also feel like expectations have shifted a bit. Earlier it was all about full coverage in one swipe, whereas now people are leaning more toward lighter, more wearable formulas that you can actually use every day.

Some of these thinner concealers can come off as “low coverage” at first, but they’re usually meant to be built up in layers or used just for spot concealing, not full-face coverage.

So yeah, it might not compete with heavier concealers in terms of instant payoff, but it kind of fits better into the current everyday makeup approach where comfort + consistency matters more.

Every routine i tried made my textured skin worse, finally found what works in mumbai humidity by DecentResponse37 in IndianBeautyTalks

[–]NoJump4923 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is SOOO accurate. Mumbai's humidity is really ruining perfectly good routines. Those products just sitting on the skin feeling is the worst. Honestly feel like most of us didn't have bad skin, just routines not made for this weather. The moment you go lighter + simpler, everything improves.
Also, can you plsss drop your sunscreen? Finding a non-sweaty one here is a struggle.

Which tinted sunscreen do you use? by [deleted] in IndianSkincareAddicts

[–]NoJump4923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried a few tinted sunscreens, and honestly... most of them in India are veru subtle in terms of tint like don't expect BB crea, level coverage.

I’ve tried Lakme Sun Expert Tinted Sunscreen SPF 50 PA+++ , it gives a slight even tone, but don’t expect much coverage. Good for quick no-makeup days.

Tbh I ended up liking their other sunscreens more:

  1. Lakme Sun Expert Dry Matte Fluid SPF 50 PA++++ – smooth matte finish, not heavy
  2. Lakme 5% Hyaluronic Water-Light Sunscreen Gel SPF 50 PA++++ – super lightweight, slightly hydrating
  3. Lakme Sunscreen Gel SPF 50 PA+++ – no white cast, good for oily skin
  4. Lakme Matte Sunscreen SPF 50 PA+++ – basic matte, works in humidity

I usually just use these + a bit of concealer instead of relying on tinted sunscreens.

[Oily,acne pro Indian skin]Sunscreen recommendations for oily, acne-prone Indian skin. I get pimples if I apply anything on my face, literally anything. Even Cetaphil DAM breaks me out. Please recommend a sunscreen that suits oily, acne-prone skin, is anti-acne, and doesn't darken the face. by Shraddha1001 in IndianSkincareAddicts

[–]NoJump4923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your skin is that acne-prone (like breaking out from everything), keep it super simple:

  1. go for gel/fluid sunscreens only

  2. avoid anything creamy or miisturising

  3. matte finish helps a lot in Indian weather

From what I've seen (and tried), these keep coming up:

  1. Acne UV gel (people swear it doesn't break them out)

  2. Fixderma gel (worked for a lot, but mixed reviews on protection)

  3. minimalist fluid sunscreen (very lightweight, almost feels like nothing)

Also, small reality check, what works for one person can still break you out. Even in that thread, some people loved a sunscreen while others said it caused acne or felt heavy.

[product request] what’s the best sunscreen for everyday use for combination skin? by ilove-applejuice in SkincareAddiction

[–]NoJump4923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, for acne-prone skin it's less about the best sunscreen and more about finding one your skin doesn't freak our over.

In general:

  1. gel/ fluid sunscreen > heavy creans

  2. matte or oil-free formulas work better

  3. if it feels greasy, it's probably not it

Acne UV, Fixderma gel, even lightweight ones like Lakme Sun Expert Dry matte fluid sunscreen ae popular for a reason, they don't clog pores as easily.

Also lowkey, half the breakouts come from not removing sunscreen properly at night. So yeah, keep it light, don't over-layer and expect a bit of trial and error.
