Clarins is the bomb! Ask for samples
Ugh, I wanted to try EltaMD but the drugstore near me only had it online.
So I got Cerave AM with SPF 30 and Cerave PM face lotion. Both are a lot cheaper than the higher end stuff I'm used to so I'm interested in seeing how it works.
^Cerave is legit! Best to keep it simple on moisturizers to avoid common irritants.
Clean beauty is a total scam and will often leave people using chemicals that are more likely to cause irritation than the chemicals they're trying to avoid (everything is a chemical).
There is so much ridiculous fear mongering in the clean beauty community that has no basis in fact.
I'm only a few days in with the CeraVe AM and PM moisturizers. I am still getting used to the AM one, because I've never used a moisturizer with SPF before so it doesn't feel as moisturizing as Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream did and other higher end stuff I've tried, although I know the CeraVe is great for your skin so I will keep using it for now, but it also doesn't seem to absorb well. I really want to try the EltaMD. I am LOVING the CeraVe PM moisturizer!
If you want a really nice, moisturizing SPF, check out the Isntree hyaluronic watery sun gel. ♡ I think the Canmake clear SPF is maybe even more moisturizing, but the Isntree is a current holy grail (buy on Amazon or Yesstyle).
The EltaMD UV Clear isn't nearly as moisturizing, though it has great ingredients for acne-prone skin. I think it's a decent summertime SPF, but I'd still reach for my Asian SPFs any day.
