Putting sunscreen on everyday was something I dreaded doing (sensitive + acne-prone hear me on this one)... that is, until I tried the Dr. Althea Green Tea Fresh Sunscreen SPF50!

Personal Review

The first thing that stood out to me was the texture - it’s incredibly light with a fresh, watery consistency that glides over the skin and absorbs within seconds! There’s no greasy finish, no sticky residue, and absolutely no heavy feeling throughout the day.Β 


Honestly? It felt more like applying a lightweight moisturiser than sunscreen.

I’m always cautious when trying a new SPF. My acne-prone skin gets congested easily and tends to feel suffocated, but thankfully, this one has been the complete opposite! My skin stayed comfortable throughout the day.Β 


The soothing ingredients kept redness under control, it also sat beautifully under my makeup. No pilling, no white cast. It gave my skin a healthy, natural-looking finish without looking oily - on days where I wore minimal makeup, my skin looked and felt fresh enough that I didn’t feel like I needed much else.

Final Thoughts

This has quickly become one of my favourite everyday sunscreens. If you have sensitive or acne-prone skin and struggle to find an SPF that feels lightweight, layers well, and doesn’t compromise your skin, this is definitely one worth adding to your routine!Β 

What I appreciate most is that this sunscreen doesn’t just focus on UV protection - it also feels like it’s looking after your skin at the same time! I love that it’s packed with calming ingredients like Green Tea and Centella alongside Niacinamide to help support my skin while protecting it from the sun.Β 


It’s comfortable, reliable, and something you’ll actually look forward to applying every morning β˜€οΈ
