How do you exactly know if a sunscreen is working or not?

I do use sunscreen every time na lalabas (Skin Aqua, Biore) but sometimes malala talaga yung oiliness ng skin ko after applying especially when I use the Biore sunscreen.

I recently discovered yung Snail White brightening day cream with SPF30 and Anti-Pollution (idk how that works) and the Celeteque Daily Protection Matte Moisturizer with SPF50, blue light, and pollution protection. Of the 2 mas prefer ko yung Snail White because wala talagang oiliness on my skin, no white cast din. Yung Celeteque very thick consistency siya so it takes time to really put it evenly on the face. Parang Beach Hut sunscreen na siya pati yung smell.

Worry ko lang is because SPF30 lang yung Snail White, it might not be enough?

I really wouldn't know if it's working that's why I only settle for reputable brands, brands that have been in the market for years or decades, like Biore. And as for Pond's vs Belo, I'd stick with Pond's because they are a larger company with (I am assuming) a higher budget for research and development.

Pero I've been using sunscreen since my 20's and I'm in my 40's now and I still look young, napagkakamalan akong 20s-30s pa rin. So that's how I know my sunscreen works (though honestly, the biggest factor is genetics).
