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. 🥲❤️

I’m looking for a good moisturizer for my acne-prone, sensitive skin and I’m honestly so confused 😭

I’ve been using adapalene for almost 4 months, and my skin is still going through the healing/adjustment process. I really need a moisturizer that can support my skin barrier without causing more breakouts or clogged pores.

I was using Carynt Zero Oil Moisturizer but unfortunately I don’t think it’s suiting my skin anymore. I also looked into Dermive but after seeing so many negative reviews I’m hesitant to try it.

After searching through sooo many Pakistani skincare brands, I shortlisted:

Acne Drop Acne Soothing Moisturizer B&B Derma Moisturizer

The problem is I can barely find ANY genuine Reddit reviews about these two 😭

Has anyone here actually used either of them especially while using adapalene?

Please tell me your honest experience did it cause comedones/acne, irritation, dryness or did it actually help your skin? Even if you had a bad experience, please share it. I’d genuinely appreciate it because I don’t want to waste money experimenting with moisturizers anymore 🥲

My skin: acne-prone + sensitive, currently healing from adapalene, and I need something lightweight but actually hydrating.

TIA 🫶🏻
