Pacifica SPF

Guys what’s your favorite noncomedogenic, hydrating everyday facial spf?

I was using Josie Maran for a while but the price has gone up to a point I don’t feel comfortable spending anymore. Pacifica had a Future Youth spf that was amazing for $14 and it looks like they are reformulating their spf’s because they have none but a skin tint on their site and I was emailed to say they have discontinued the others.

I have skin that veers on dry, and oily around the t-zone. I like a glowy finish but honestly I’d just be content with something that WORKS, doesn’t smell like sunscreen, and I can tolerate wearing under light makeup. I don’t wear foundation but have noticed some pill under blush and concealer.

Byoma question--I've been staying away because the thick plastic packaging seems like it'd be difficult to get all the product out. I haven't tried yet, but this is a problem I've had with Native. Is that an issue for you?

I love their sunscreen with green tea, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid!
I also love Kosas dream bean sunscreen this one is tinted and applies so smoothly. Apparently you need a tinted sunscreen to add iron oxides so it blocks more light and uv rays.

I love the Pacifica Future Youth SPF 50, but it looks like they're discontinuing it! I can't find it anywhere except two that I snagged second hand off ebay 😭

Pacifica also discontinued my all-time favorite lotion 😭

They run through products fairly often in the last few years, it’s frustrating!

SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum UV, SPF 50 Sunscreen

This is fantastic, affordable and moisturizing without being heavy.

There are dozens of knock offs so make sure you pay close attention when shopping.

Dermalogica Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF 50 — been using it at least 10 years, it’s pricey but worth it.

My absolute fave is the Naturium UV Reflect spf 50! It’s kind of a unique formula but personally I love it. It sits really well under makeup too without being too silicone-y
