About My Skin: Combination and acne-prone
A quick rundown of what I'm working with: A T-zone that’s oily to the point of reflectiveness. But also flaky patches. A very breakout-prone nose and chin. Blackheads, fine lines, dark spots. The gang’s all here. At one point, my skincare involved alleged solutions to all of these issues, but in time, I’ve whittled things down. (I have a life to lead and it no longer has space for my circa-2014 10-step ritual). I control what I can, and that’s keeping my skin safe from the sun with hats and sunscreen—thus the obsessive sunscreen shopping. This is especially true in foreign countries, where sunscreens are often far more advanced than what we have here in the states.

Boscia Detoxifying Black Charcoal Cleanser: This warming gel cleanser contains activated charcoal and vitamin C. It promises to reduce the appearance of pores, remove excess oil, unclog dirty skin, and brighten the complexion.
Eminence Organic Skin Care Charcoal Exfoliating Gel Cleanser: Formulated with a potent blend of skin-purifying ingredients, the Eminence Organic Skin Care Charcoal Exfoliating Gel Cleanser washes away impurities, removes excess oil, and minimizes the appearance of pores.
Bioré’s Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser won't become my new go-to cleanser, but I did enjoy how refreshed and reinvigorated my skin felt after using it. When my skin requires a quick deep cleanse and reset, I see myself reaching for this.
Ingredients: A formula that will reinvigorate your skin
In this formula, charcoal is the star ingredient. Charcoal has been claimed to address acne and draw out pore-clogging material like dirt, oil, and bacteria.
You’ll also find menthol in this cleanser, which delivers a refreshing tingle when you lather it on your face. It’s also worth noting that this product does contain sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) which is meant to help remove dirt and oil. If you have sensitive skin, you may want to patch test this first to see how your skin responds to these ingredients.
The Value
Glossier Invisible Shield: The smothering feeling, the chalky excess—have been engineered out of the equation. Glossier’s sunscreen is totally clear, blends in fast, and works really well. The downsides are that it contains less SPF (35 versus 50+) and less actual product (one versus 1.7 ounces), and costs about twice the price at $25.
Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen: Supergoop’s clear sunscreen with a velvety texture is a slam dunk of a sunscreen. It’s the same size as Bioré UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence Sunscreen (1.7 ounces) but is a more expensive option at $36. The SPF 40 is solid, the coverage clear, and the formulation natural (unlike Bioré’s synthetic one). Unseen has a more matte finish compared to Watery Essence, which leaves skin dewy and fresh.
Neutrogena Clear Face Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF 55: If you’re looking for great SPF at a low cost ($14), this oil-free lotion offers high-quality sun protection and a non-comedogenic formula that won’t clog pores. Unlike the Bioré, Glossier, and Supergoop options, this one is opaque and takes a bit of elbow grease to work in.
