Which tinted sunscreen do you wear alone without foundation?

I have made a few posts for sunscreen recs, but now that summer is coming to an end and I can start to get my melasma under control, I want a sunscreen that I can wear alone that will act as a foundation.

I love Alastin and Colorscience flex for this but they each have their downfalls…Alastin only has a 36spf and is a little dark so once my tan fades I fear it will be too orange and then Colorscience separates on my chin and nose after a few hours.

If you see me outside looking like this, mind your business.

Just trying to keep my face from making more pigment. 😂

Feeling discouraged

Last week I was hospitalized in which they intubated me using a tape on both sides of the bottom portion of my face. I have melasma but also PIH started this year and the hospital tearing the tape off my face caused inflammation and wrecked my face worse than it already was.

I am starting hydroquinone 4% and tranexamic acid this week on top of my vitamin c, azelaic acid, and tretinoin use. PLUS ALL THE SUNSCREEN.

Please tell me there’s hope? I know it’s superficial but this is causing me so much anxiety. Also, at this point, do I apply the hydroquinone to my whole face? The 3 month supply doesn’t seem like it will go very far unless I add a moisturizer first to give it some slip, which could dilute the product I’m sure.

HELP! hoping to have an amazing before and after photo soon.

Eta: when I added the white box to my eyes, it made the picture blurry so this doesn’t even show how bad it is

Musely, Miiskin, Redbox, Nurx, etc for hydroquinone

Trying to decide which to go through. I have successfully used Musely, but their 12% dose scares me so thinking about trying other options.

Do you personally have experience with any of these types of places? And please recommend other places not on this list if reputable

Thanks so much. I am trying to hold off as long as possible but my face is a mess. My melasma has never been this bad before and it scares me thinking using such a high hydroquinone in the past has caused this. But also, we just got a pool this summer and I have been in sun A LOT, but I do use sunscreen diligently and wear hats/sunglasses

Haul - New to Korean skincare

My haul from YesStyle. I have never tried Korean beauty. Bought some things to replace some of my current skincare products. 45 yr old, dry/combination skin with melasma and hyperpigmentation. Did I make good choices?

Already use a vit c, azelaic acid, and tretinoin that I am happy with. Replacing my facewash, moisturizer, and daily facial sunscreen and added a couple other things to try.

Recs for a healing balm for irritated face from actives

I usually use Avene Cicaplast but it is expired so I need to either repurchase or try something new. I like the Avene but it’s always fun to try new things. I also like to use it for occasional peri-oral dermatitis.

Recs for an everyday BODY suncreen

I recently have started using sunscreen on my arms daily, just a cheap one that gives a white cast and I dont like it. I also cover myself in it by the pool.

Looking for an alternative since I go to work with it on my arms I dont want it to leave a white cast, look oily, or smell like sunscreen.

Also, which is your favorite to wear at the pool or beach on your body?

Skincare Generics? Lux product dupes

Someone I follow on YouTube recommended the Skincare Generics website for a dupe for Skin Medica TNS and the IS Cleansing Complex. Has anyone have experience with this brand. The reviews are great but I am weary. I have fallen in love with TNS but I don’t foresee me being able to afford this long term, sadly.

I would leave a link but I am not sure that is allowed.

What would you plant in these pots?

Live in Louisiana. Will be in mostly sun. Need easy to care for and nontoxic to dogs.

Eta: I do not have a green thumb by any means. We just built a deck around a pool and need as much greenery as possible to liven the place up. These pots are far enough from pool that chlorine will not be a bother to them.
