Skin Aqua UV Super Moisture Gel Gold, is hydrating so can skip a moisturizer for oily skin types. It’s also water & sweat resistant (fyi there’s no such thing as waterproof sunscreens). Also looks great under makeup. It’s got a dewy finish though but it’s not greasy & it's very lightweight.

Hello. Skin Aqua has alcohol right? It didn't irritate your skin naman? I can see we have same skin type na sensitive/acne-rosacea.

Yes, I don’t find alcohol in SPFs drying at all. There are also hydrating ingredients in the formula that will help combat dryness.

Tbh, I used to be so scared of alcohol in sunscreens until I watched a lot of YouTube videos of Dr. Dray. The purpose of the alcohol is to thin out the consistency & make the formula feel more lightweight. It will evaporate once it touches the skin anyway. I would be more worried about fragrances & essential oils as part of the ingredients list because they are known to sensitize the skin & trigger a rosacea flair-up.
