DP.

Not a Korean one, but Japanese -- OMI Verdio Moisture gel is amazing. I've mentioned it here in sunscreen threads numerous times. You can buy a large bottle with pump or a small bottle that fits in your pocket or bag.

I gave up on Elta MD years ago. I tried at least 5 different products in the line (yes, I realize formulations could've changes in the past 10 years or whenever). The tinted ones dried my skin out and made me look weird shades of orange. The non-tinted mineral ones gave made me look space-alien blueish gray, like most mineral sunscreens do, and caked onto my stubble (I'm a guy) if I didn't shave that morning or the night before.

I have never understood the love/enthusiasm for Elta MD.

I've been using the Verdio sunscreen for years. I switched from Korean ones back during the big testing scandal during the pandemic. I remember liking one from a French brand Avene (vague, I know!), but I didn't like another, and can't remember which. Laroche Posay US formulations I've found awful across the board. Many of them contain SD Alcohol, which my skin hates. And the non-alcohol mineral ones turn me space-alien blueish gray. The European formulations are better, but again I can't remember which I liked.[/quote]

People use Elta MD because it’s one of the best options you can legitimately buy.  I’m not comfortable ordering European or Korean sunscreens from sketchy websites.  The ingredients in these sunscreens aren’t approved in the US.  When I go to Europe, I stock up on LRP UVmune 400[/quote]

They aren’t approved due to stupid bureaucracy. Not because they aren’t safe. But you do you. I’ve been ordering biore aqua rich from the Japanese taste website for like 5 years and haven’t died yet. Also haven’t gotten sunburned , or had a breakout.[/quote]
