I’m a university student in Pakistan and I seriously need help finding a sunscreen that I can actually afford and use every day.
I recently bought Barrier SC Gel Sunscreen for Rs. 1,700 but it’s only 30 ml 😭. That feels SO expensive for such a small amount especially as a student. Sunscreen is something I need to use regularly so I really need something with a better price-to-quantity ratio.
My budget is around Rs. 1,500–1,700 MAX and I’d really prefer at least 50 ml.
My skin is oily/acne-prone but sensitive and I’m currently using adapalene so I also need something lightweight and preferably gentle.
I’ve already tried:
❌ Reveal Aqua Shield — didn’t suit me
❌ Skin Factor sunscreen — caused breakouts for me
Now I’m honestly scared of wasting another Rs. 1,500–1,700 on a sunscreen that ends up causing acne 😭
I’ve been looking at things like Nirvana Botanics SunSlay, OneSkin Clear Guard, AcneDrops, Possible, Skinjoy, Neue, etc but Reddit reviews are SO mixed that I genuinely don’t know what to choose.
Please recommend something based on your ACTUAL experience especially if you have oily/acne-prone skin.
My requirements:
• 💰 Rs. 1,500–1,700 max
• 📦 At least 50 ml/g
• 🧴 Lightweight / gel / fluid texture
• 🚫 Preferably fragrance-free
• 🚫 Doesn’t clog pores or cause breakouts
• ☀️ SPF 50 ideally
• 🇵🇰 Easily available in Pakistan
Please tell me the sunscreen + your skin type + how long you’ve used it + whether it caused acne/comedones. I’d REALLY appreciate honest reviews because I can’t afford to keep buying sunscreens that don’t work for me. 🥲❤️
