I use Timecheck as a serum. I cleanse, use a liquid exfoliant, apply Vit C product where i have dark spots and discolored skin, serum, and finish with a moisturizing mineral sun screen (other kinds irritate my rosacea and make my eyes burn if i sweat and drops get in my eyes).

I have the same problem, I'm still trying to find a good mineral one. Which one are you using?

I don't think we have Coola here. I tried Avene (which was crappy) but not La Roche Posay yet, but I'm going to check it out. I feel like we don't have as many choices here as in the US. I've come across several ones online, like a Neutrogena one, that I couldn't find here.

I use:
• Paula's Choice RESIST Moisturizer with SPF 25 (order from her website - http://www.paulaschoice.com/ )
MDSolarSciences Mineral Crème 50 (Broad Spectrum SPF 50 UVA-UVB Sunscreen), which is not moisturizing, but feels OK
(it's not cheap, but a little goes a long way, so it lasts quite a while) - i get it from sephora
And sometimes i mix them together if i want more moisturizing. I use sunscreen every day.I've reordered both.

I also like Josie Maran Argan Daily Moisturizer SPF 47 - i think i got a reduced price bottle from sephora, but it's expensive, so i haven't reordered

I started out trying drugstore products, but they had horrible perfume or felt awful.

I have tried a lot of Neutrogena products and been satisfied with none of them. YMMV.

Coola is available in some European countries. Maybe you can order from them...

You can get it at Niche Beauty iirc. Also Skinceuticals has a great Mineral sunscreen with Spf50! Edit: sorry, mixed up Coola with Supergoop! But amazon.de has some Coola.

La Roche-Posay is sold at pharmasies here. I checked out their site, there are several products. Which one are you using?

MRV, keep in mind that for most products from LRP the formulation of their European and US products differ. It's annoying.

Thank you, lilinah! I will check those out. I had ordered some PC samples a while ago, I think the Resist Moisturizer was among them. Don't remember why I didn't like it, but if I did I think I would've bought the full size.

Yes, that seems to be the problem. I looked at some of the LRP ones and they all sound like chemical filters (haven't had time to google them all yet).


During Fashion Week it was used to apply the Matchmaster Cushion Foundation.
