I'm making it a priority to review as many sunscreens as possible- thankfully all fall and winter I;ve been testing new ones so I'll have many more reviews to come!

Sometimes I love how shady you are. If I could subscribe again I would. It's worth pointing out that in Europe SPF 50+ sunscreens must have a PPD of at least 20 in order to have that circled UVA seal. That would make it an automatic PA++++. Moreover, with that assortment of UVA filters it is most likely at least PPD 30 if not 40.
Thanks so much for reviewing more sunscreen options & also vetting online vendors for us!!!! 💕♥️♥️ There’s a sea of them & I usually just wind up having, definitely great, but fewer options, by choosing from Ulta, Sephora or Target.
You are so welcome, I've got more sunscreen reviews coming so stay tuned. Making this a top priority right now. It's crazy how many websites there are that, in my opinion, are probably selling fake/ expired/ counterfeit products. I wish I could expose them, but if I do that there's a big chance of losing my RUclips channel over a lawsuit from them. 🙄
Love that one! Just like you said, it's quite hydrating without feeling greasy or tacky. I prefer the texture of this one over another one that everyone's eyes are currently on that I shall not name. Also, you are getting very close to your bathroom re-model! 🤩
After testing this one I agree with your comparison to the "one we shall not name"! I was amazed by the ingredients in this sunscreen. After using it I figured it had to have alcohol in it to be this easy to apply and feel so light, but thankfully I was wrong! Super excited for a new bathroom, going to make cameraman order stuff for it this week!!
Hi, I am European and I wish to let you know that - luckily - European regulations prohibit the use of any kind of animal testing. So rest assured that any cosmetic manufactured and sold in Europe is cruelty free!
Hi, I’m also European and I just thought I’d add to this. While there are laws that prohibit animal testing in Europe, it doesn’t necessarily mean a brand or product is cruelty free as they may sell in china where animal testing is required by law in most cases (although things have been changing the past few years). Just thought I’d put this here for anyone that wanted to know :)
Almost to 50K. Way to go. I just went on care to beauty to order this SVR sunscreen. I also picked up one by frezyderm... I was curious. I liked the heliocare I tried last year except the fragrance. It was lasting on me all day.
I loved this video. I've been struggling to find a SPF50 that doesn't sting my eyes since the whole Purito/Klairs debacle ruined my love for those sunscreens. I'd love you to do significantly more sunscreen review videos to give more options.
@@Anja-gq6zu Great! I heard it makes a little strange yellow/organge color on the face. Did you notice any of this? And can you use it around your eyes?
All European 50+ sunscreens are technically ++++ In Europe sunscreens must have their UVA protection - PPD rating at least 3rd of their SPF. An SPF 50 will always be at least PPD 17. Asian ++++ UVA rating converts to PPD 16 or above. Sometimes the brand include the PPD number especially if the UVA protection is extremely high. Bioderma and LaRoche Posay have famous PPD 33, 42 and 46 sunscreens.
@Sundara Daya yeah I was like it’s so amazing that in Asia they include the UVA protection rate until I found out the European regulation system is even better. With EU spf50+ sunscreens you really don’t have to bother about wether you get adequate UVA protection. I just wish there were more comfortable, lightweight EU sunscreens.
I also noticed a review by a nice woman who says that she has very sensitive skin and Rosacea, and she had no reaction at all to this SVR. She said it was 'calming'. Somebody else said they wished it was even more moisturizing. She must want a heavy moisturizer!
In Europe animal testing is forbidden on all cosmetic products. So brand don’t need to advertise that they are cruelty free anymore, as that’s the norm! Welcome to 2021;)
What do you think of the P20 kids SPF 50 and the Bybi beauty defence daycream SPF 30 ? I have both and am very happy about how they feel on the skin. I would love to hear your opinion! Great video as always!⭐️😊
Any way you can review Evy?? Any spf 50 mousse please!! Apparently they are very water resistant; Olympic athletes wear them. Thank you for reviewing spfs! Struggling to find a new one.
Thank you so much for this vid! Going to try this one out! I live in the EU so it should be fairly easy for me to get (lets hope it doesnt trigger any acne)
I was so impressed with this, and the fact that it isn't ridiculously expensive, either. Definitely worth checking out, and so nice for you that you don't have to smuggle it!
Thank you for another awesome recommendation in my quest to find sunscreens 🤩👏 btw how does the currency conversion turn out to be? 2 of the sites you mentioned have prices in pound and euros. Do you use PayPal? Does the currency conversion make it more expensive?
Thank you for looking for new sunscreens for us Sarah! How did this do around your eyes? That is the one issue that I have to be concerned about with sunscreens. Also, if you used the tinted one mixed with the plain one, would you be able to use in the winter? This is important to me because I now rely on my sunscreens as being my foundation when I am going to leave the house. I do not even know the last time I wore foundation and am pleased with that! Have a great day!
My eyes are typically pretty sensitive to octocrylene and sometimes avobenzone, even more so after lasik. I didn't have any issues with this one around my eyes, thankfully. I get a little nervous Mixing anything with sunscreen. I do wonder if you might try the SVR Blur on its own if the color might work on its own, I don't think I've reviewed that one but I'll do that early next week and you can see the color. Have you ever tried the MyChelle Liquid Sun Shield Sunscreen? I love that one because it doubles as a foundation really well. Same with the Cerave Tinted Sunscreen.
@@NOBSBeauty Thank you for your response Sarah! I must not have been clear in my question, I was asking if you could mix the SVR tinted w/ the SVR regular one? Sorry for not being more clear!
I'm the same way, i have a mental block about paying shipping, just can't do it unless it's something I really want/ need right away. Otherwise I just wait until I need a lot and place a big order. Some companies charge ridiculous prices for shipping, especially when it's something small.
Thank you again :) Cyrille raved about this one so it’s allready in my basket with some other sunscreens; LRP anthelios Ultra, shaka and body spf, Bioderma AR, SVR sun secure easy stick, Avene tinted compact spf 50 and for my mom Avene Tinted Fluïde spf 50, all without parfume. Both of us have skincancer so we have to be very thorough on this. I use a chemical one first and a mineral one as a second layer. Every few months i have new spots, since i was 24 so almost 20 years. I wish i knew then what i know now🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ Which are your favorite spf for face and which one for the body? I have dry body skin and combo face skin. I would love to see reviews on tinted and non tinted chemical sunscreens that use modern filters only. And tinted mineral spf that’s non nano or use coated nano. No parfume offcourse lol, added anti-oxidants and if they don’t use drying alcohol’s it is a big bonus:) For dry, combo and oily skin 😅
Sarah I know this is off topic but it's so crazy I wanted to share it with you! Gothamista/Renee announced her age in her most recent video and apparently she is 48 years old! This is insane! She looks 33-36 WOW! Skincare really does work huh?!
Wow, that is amazing!!! She must be very diligent about her sunscreen use. It's amazing what a good sunscreen and Skincare can do!! I'm so jealous. When I'm that age I hope to look half as good as she does!!
@@NOBSBeauty genetics also probably play a role to be honest, especially Asian genes, the truth is white women of European descent just tend to age faster due to genetics and lack of melanin in their skin that naturally protects from UV rays
@@freedomlife5968 I think it is a lot to do with genetics. Asians tend to look younger as they have very delicate features and also, their skin tends to me oiler. However, some white woman do age just as well. It just depends on your genetics, your face structure and if you apply spf everyday. White people age bad due to the obsession of tanning
@@meganfc7094 A lot of it probably does come to genetics, most white women age horribly, but some age very well surprisingly which goes to show you, despite the lack of melanin in their skins, genetics can overcome weaknesses of melanin free skin
@@freedomlife5968 For sure! I get that but it does depend on genetics and lack of melanin is compensated by spf. Fun fact, melanin skin only has an spf of 15 which is heaps better than white skin ofc but if white people just wore spf, aging would be better. Nigella Lawson, Kate Beckinsale etc are all white and aged really well due to spf etc. I am European/distant middle eastern descent and my mum's side of the family are all in their 60s have very few wrinkles! It just depends but you are right, more melanin in the skin ensures less damage so spf white peeps 😂
When I use this one without foundation I do like to use a little bit of powder on my tzone. Do you use moisturizer under it? My skin is pretty dry but this one is hydrating enough that I don't need a moisturizer under it unlike many other sunscreens.
I've done a lot of research and pondering about this sunscreen. The Krave uses a different manufacturer from the ones in question. Krave uses multiple filters, which is a good thing. The have released the percentage for almost all of the filters except for one I believe. I'm not a big Fan of that, but at this point I still trust the brand and I'm pretty confident the Beet Shield is still a good sunscreen option.
Hi Sarah, I think we in Europe ( I’m in UK ) have the same issue with US brands - is a struggle to get some over here 😣 I just had a look on uk.labo-svr.com and it seems fine. In UK we have Trustpilot which is an independent customer review site so if there is an UK based seller of any type really you can check it here. I had the Pigmentation + Dark spot corrector from SVR and it did help with my sun spots to a decent extend , not with my melasma though 😏
Melasma is such a tough one to deal with. I had it really bad and it's taken about 5 years to get it under control, but there's still more of it left, which may get better with time we'll see... I'm happy about the amount it's lessened but it's still pretty noticeable. Such a difficult issue to treat. I haven't given up, but I've accepted it might never fully get better.
Have you ever review COTZ sunscreen? I have dry skin & really enjoy the COTZ sensitive spf 40 non-tinted. However, it is not suitable for oily skin type.
I've tried their tinted version and liked it, I found that one was pretty emollient as well. I'll have to try their non tinted version because I'm the winter the tinted one makes me look way too tan.
@@NOBSBeauty I think you will like the non-tinted version. I find myself reaching for this sunscreen more & more everyday. I don’t know yet if I can use it in the summer time. It’s very dewy.
omg I tried the tinted mineral spf they sell it was sooooooo awful....it was like full coverage makeup and separated in the tube and no matter how much you shake it it never mixes its a clumpy, oily mess. Stay away from the tinted mineral ones in the white tubes. So bad!
Typically mineral filters, iron oxides, and algae are the best for blue light. Although, at this point in time, I personally don't believe blue light is a huge concern for skin damage. If you are wearing your sunscreen of choice on a daily basis that is much more important. Just my extra thoughts, definitely do some research on your own and come to your own conclusion.
Thanks for giving us new sunscreen options I’ve been struggling to look for other!
I'm making it a priority to review as many sunscreens as possible- thankfully all fall and winter I;ve been testing new ones so I'll have many more reviews to come!

Very good point, thank you for this info, very helpful, so many regulations is hard to keep track of them all!
You are my absolute go to when it comes to skincare!! No one comes close ♥️
All my favorite cosmetically elegant sunscreens have come into question now... this looks like a great alternative!! Thanks for sharing
No pilling? I am sold! lol... I have quite the sunscreen collection and I think I might need to try this one out🙋🏼♀️
Thanks for sharing ❤️
Thanks so much for reviewing more sunscreen options & also vetting online vendors for us!!!! 💕♥️♥️ There’s a sea of them & I usually just wind up having, definitely great, but fewer options, by choosing from Ulta, Sephora or Target.
You are so welcome, I've got more sunscreen reviews coming so stay tuned. Making this a top priority right now. It's crazy how many websites there are that, in my opinion, are probably selling fake/ expired/ counterfeit products. I wish I could expose them, but if I do that there's a big chance of losing my RUclips channel over a lawsuit from them. 🙄
Love that one! Just like you said, it's quite hydrating without feeling greasy or tacky. I prefer the texture of this one over another one that everyone's eyes are currently on that I shall not name.
Also, you are getting very close to your bathroom re-model! 🤩

For an oily skinned gal, this is just a no go for me but I use it on my lips!! 💓
UVA sign in the circle means that it is broad spectrum, so good UVA protection
I love this. It has unique newer filters. Dont forget to try the pca skin weightless protection!

I love this sunscreen 👍
However it stings a bit in my eyes - so i tap it after full face around the eyes separatly and then i have NO probs at all!!!
Hi, did you try it? And did it hurt the eyes? :)
Ordered 2, thanks for the review and handy links!! 🙌🏻
Do you like it?
Great review as always, thanks for the info! ...these days the more sunscreen content the better.
Definitely amping up sunscreen reviews so we can find good alternatives before summer.
Circled UVA means 1/3 of UVB coverage. Standard in Europe.
thanks for bringing that on my radar! I ordered one :)
You'll have to let me know how you like it, I'm sure enjoying it, can't wait to use it in the summer!
Do you like it?

SPF 50 is at least PPD 17, but SPF 50+ is at least PPD 20 because SPF 50+ is only designated to SPF60 and up sunscreens in Europe.
@@kool2btrue I wrote the same that an SPF50 will be at least PPD17. But you’re right this SVR sunscreen is SPF50+ so it will be higher than that.
