In beauty products, cyclopentasiloxane is used as a conditioner, delivery agent, lubricant and solvent. Like all other silicones, this ingredient makes the sunscreen easily spreadable. Silicone(dimethicone) is after water so it might not play well if applied a lot. Zinc oxide is the fourth ingredient so it is actually good for the skin since zinc does help to protect skin and heal skin.
Always21 Sun Perfect Aloe Daily Sun Milk also contains parfum, paraben, algae, aloe vera juice (3%) and titanium oxide. There is also Butylene glycol which is low on the list and so it is better for someone whose skin don't work that well with butylene glycol.
Always21 Sun Perfect Aloe Daily Sun Milk doesn't have the white cast when applied on skin. The sunscreen has milk emulsion texture and also spread easily on my skin. However, it does clogged my pores if I applied too much since my skin don't work that well with few of the ingredients which are titanium oxide and dimethicone (it is high on the list). It dries down to a matte looking and feels soft when i touch it with my hands. It doesn't cause piling on the skin which is great for people who use makeup.
Overall, Always21 Sun Perfect Aloe Daily Sun Milk is good for someone with oily skin or combination skin and have the love for water based sunscreen.

Hi,
The Korean cushion trend is just not going anywhere! The convenience, the simplicity usage and hygienic usage are among some of the popular reasons that cushion are just love by many beauty enthusiasts. I do like companies coming with cushions for other beauty products.
Interestingly, there are some companies coming up with sunscreen in cushion form. So, here is andLAB Xylitol Mild Sun cushion SPF50 PA+++.
Mild daily sun care Natural cooling xylitol and inorganic sun screening makes daily sun screening mild and soft!Low irritant sun cushion that removes sebum

andLAB Xylitol Mild Sun cushion SPF50 PA+++ uses 20 natural oriental medicine, mild for skin and deep moisturising with Bio-mimetic Water, Xylitol, adenosine and niacinamide. I think the concept is interesting as oriental medicine ingredients are well received for their effectiveness and gentle on the skin.
I can't denied that having sunscreen in cushion form does make me use it more. I don't really like to use my dirty finger to apply sunscreen when I am outside. Besides, it is easier to apply sunscreen with cushion puff in the morning than trying to rub my sunscreen with my fingers.
andLAB Xylitol Mild Sun cushion SPF50 PA+++ is a mix sunscreen since it contains zinc oxide. titanium oxide as well as Avobenzone that presents in chemical sunscreen. Do check the ingredients that I have translated (sorry if some of it is wrong since I have zero ability to read Hangul).
andLAB Xylitol Mild Sun cushion SPF50 PA+++ feels cooling during the application which I do like. It goes on transparent on my skin with very faint brightening effect if you see it in natural lighting, looks matte and if you touch it with fingers, it is moisturising. It has a light tone down scent which is a little like fresh wash clothes.
It claims to be sebum controlling and doesn't stick to the phone screen...only for the first 2 hours or maybe a few hours if you use a moisturiser that works with this sunscreen. I was using the emulsion and living in a super hot country and with humidity over 90%, it is good that it just doesn't become an oil mess by the end of 8hours. It doesn't clog my skin or cause redness.
It is a dermatologist brand and heard that products are made in the same lab as Dr.Jart XD so I guess if you like Dr.Jart products then you could have a look into this brand.
Overall, andLAB Xylitol Mild Sun cushion SPF50 PA+++ is a convenient dermatologist sunscreen with oriental medicinal ingredients which is an interesting concept and good for someone looking for a no white cast sunscreen.

I am terribly sorry to say I didn’t manage to do my skincare routine for acne prone skin for you. This post is just sitting in my draft chilling for 2 years because each time I wanted to publish it, I have to try something new. Since I blog, I change my skincare products more than snake changes their skin. I just do not want to give the impression that it is a MUST to use 20 products in one skincare routine in order to get skin like Korean stars.
Besides, some people might think I play favoritism or write glowing reviews just because I get the products for review. You do know I don’t bash a product like there is no tomorrow but I will be honest about why it just doesn’t work for me. I don’t have HG also unless I am sure that the product(s) have work wonderfully for me in whatever situation or I just cannot live without it.
My skin was okay until my skin broke again in January 2016 because I was dealing with a lot of things. I got kick out of a job, need money to pay bills and being very sickly because I was not eating well. All in all, I was not okay inside out. SO grumbly aside and being thankful that you stay with me especially Luscious that even send me a care package. THANK you =) .
So, here are some new tips that I use to deal with acne. You do not have to get what I use since it is just a guide. There are many to choose and please look into ingredients.
Tips mentioned in the video:
1. Suitable skincare products-cleanser, moisturizer and a spot treatment.
2. Find out your allergies and avoid them. Common food allergies are milk, sugar, flour,wheat.
3. Drink warm ginger +turmeric to help with the acne inflammation.
Paula's Choice is a trusted brand for their skincare. I have read about this popular US brand and seeing them featured in many magazine like Vogue. Their most popular product that many acne prone skin have attest is their Paula's Choice Resist Daily Pore-Refining Treatment with 2% BHA .
I am so glad that this brand is finally in Malaysia because I know I have surely waited for this brand for years.
For today I am reviewing Paula's Choice Resist Youth Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid Spectrum SPF 50 which is a sunscreen for oily acne prone skin which I think many will be curious to know about.
Go out and have a great day. We’ve got you covered. This water-light moisturizer protects from sun damage, prevents the signs of aging, and hydrates without adding oil.
Anti-Aging, Enlarged Pores, Wrinkles
Combination, Oily Skin
Minimizes pores, protects and stimulates collagen for firmer skin
What makes this product unique?
If you have oily skin and are concerned about preventing and repairing the signs of aging, Resist Youth-Extending Daily Fluid SPF 50 is the daytime moisturizer with sunscreen you will love to use every day. Specially formulated with advanced dispersion technology, this first-of-its-kind lotion has a water-light, fluid texture that’s unbelievably weightless yet provides high daily broad-spectrum sun protection that keeps your skin young, smooth, and healthy. It goes on feather-light and sets to a non-greasy, soft finish that minimizes the appearance of pores and keeps excess shine in check. A blend of soothing, plant-based antioxidants protects skin from environmental damage and works to fade brown spots and stimulate collagen production for firmer, younger-looking skin. Ideal for use under makeup (so you can skip the foundation primer) and gentle enough for use around the eyes.
Who is this product for?
Resist Youth-Extending Daily Fluid SPF 50 is for anyone with oily or combination skin concerned with preventing the signs of aging seeking a daily sunscreen that feels super-light and keeps excess oil in check while minimizing enlarged pores.
Use as the last step in your morning skincare routine. Apply liberally to face, eye area, and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure. Use a water-resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating. Reapply at least every 2 hours if skin is exposed to sun.
The sunscreen comes in form of a very light emulsion. It absorbed fast into the skin and I don't even feel anything after the sunscreen dries up. The finished is a hydrated moist looking skin which is not matte nor oily looking. As for the oil control, I think my nose does have a slight sheen when oil comes out from the nose while my other drier areas is the same as it was in the morning and is not flaky. I don't have huge pores so can't say something about that but the Paula's Choice Resist Youth Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid Spectrum does blur out the skin making it look slightly better.
The sunscreen doesn't have any fragrance to it so it smell a little like 'plastic' which is extremely faint and hardly noticeable. Doesn't have any smell on my skin once dried.
It doesn't leave a white cast on the skin at all and it will not cause 'pilling' if you use foundation or BB cream after the sunscreen. I think it is great for someone who has oily skin and lives in humid places. I have been using it for two weeks and it didn't aggravate my skin condition nor clogged my pores. I like that the few ingredients are water and glycerin which is very useful for hydrating the skin and keeping the skin moist. After all, I like hydrated skin but minus those pore clogging ingredients. There are some plants extract that are antioxidant to the skin but of course I couldn't attest to those ingredients unless I have been using them for two years.
Sunscreen is a good investment for your skin and it is one of the best thing you could do to prevent damage to your skin.
Overall, I will recommend it to oily or combination acne prone skin that needs a light sunscreen that hydrates their skin. I think this Paula's Choice Resist Youth Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid Spectrum SPF 50 is as good as a famous French brand which is not available in Malaysia. If you are looking for that brand, this is a similar product.
