We would love to see these tinted sunscreens on different skin tones and colors. As a person of color, I always am skeptical of tinted sunscreens not being a match for my skin color and tone. Here's an idea: How about we get to see more colabs with people of color or just Dr Dray sharing pictures from when she asked her followers on instagram to share how these sunscreens look on their skin color and then make a video to share them with us!
Here in Brazil La Roche Posay have a system of creating your own color, dropping the color product into the colorless sunscreen in your hand. Average brazilian is darker than me, so even the 'light' shade is way too dark for me. I dont use tinted sunscreen anymore because it stains the beard. Edit. Is called Color Dose
For anyone with a fair complexion who finds the COTZ Flawless tint a little too dark, or finds the shiny finish not to your taste, or needs added hydration and skin barrier support, or needs water resistance (80 min), or enjoys a silky smooth finish…give the COTZ Face Moisture SPF35 Lightly Tinted a try. It contains 16% zinc, iron oxide, ceramides, and dimethicone which gives a blurring effect to the pores. Can be worn under makeup or on its own.
Thanks for the recommendation! I like the Australian Gold tinted face sunscreen for many of these reasons but am always interested in trying similar products.
This product has an identical ingredient list with the TIZO product mentioned in the video. TIZO and COTZ are sister companies, so the COTZ might be a cheaper dupe.
@@JulienArbor yes! Sad part is, it’s the only one from COTZ that doesn’t leave a terrible cast on me. I’ve tried quite a few through those samples. I’ve since switched over to European & Japanese sunscreen.
The Australian Gold spf 50 tinted mineral sunscreen is my ride or die. Love it!! I basically use it instead of a foundation since I don’t mind the light coverage.
Same here. But I am really sceptical about the prosentage off filters in them. I did a lot of Google search but still not convinced. Anyone else that knows?
The best tinted sunscreen I’ve ever used is the Skinceuticals physical fusion. It’s way too expensive to use daily so I only use it in situations where I don’t want any cast.
I love my European tinted sunscreens: Bioderma (Photoderm Nude touch spf 50+), Isispharma mineral tinted spf 50+, SVR Sun Secure spf 50+, Avene sun mineral fluid - all these are fragrance free and are perfect for sensitive skin (I have rosacea so I use these a lot, twice or three times per day without causing me any irritation). European peeps have a wide range of good options that are budget friendly and effective.
@@kate3264 yes, all of these have mineral filters only! Also, Uriage has some nice mineral options, however I have never tried any tinted spf from them as they have fragrance - but there are non tinted and fragrance free mineral options from Uriage that I use and love. Unfortunately I’ve never used any Eucerin sunscreens so I cannot comment on that.
Yes I love EU sunscreens, I love Bioderma covertouch, I still need to try the other one that have, I got one from Garnier and Isdin came with more colors those with fragrances tho
Well, yes, but the "universal" tint is still a bit of a problem. What is universal in France is somewhat less so in Scotland, regardless of our shared disgust for the carbuncle that is England. Which of these would you say is the lightest and least orange in tint? Isispharma's AR line is excellent!
@@pencilfriendpaperscribbler6032 with bioderma I usually purchase the light colour (they also have a very light colour but I do prefer a bit of a “bronze” so to say). I can’t really say which one suits your skin type best. You have to keep trying different brands and their shade ranges and see what works for you. What I also used to do was to put on a mineral sunscreen that is quite white casty and to mask that I would come on top with any tinted mineral sunscreen that I preferred that day. Also, you can blend in your hand some mineral sunscreen and a bit of tinted mineral sunscreen to create your preferred shade. Both methods worked well for me and that’s what I usually do on a daily basis.
This CoTZ was way too moisturizing for my combo/oily skin but my sister who has eczema and super sensitive skin absolutely loved it! I really love the CoTZ Face Prime & Protect SPF 40 - Tinted!
@@vetsai8199 was it the spf 40 sensitive one you tried or the flawless complexion? Just wondering as I'm looking for a really moisturising one as I have extremely dry skin thanks
I tried the Tatcha sunscreen recently. It’s nice but even at $60 it’s still nothing like the $15 tinted Cerave sunscreen- which imo is the best ever ❤️ ☀️
I found the ceraVE to make my face look a tid bit oily. It's the best color match for me however, that blends in okay that I've found so far. Some tinted sunscreens can be a little more on the orangey/dark side or not blend in as well look kinda cakey. I have skin that is on somewhat the oily side but not super oily.. CeraVE moisturizer is supposed to be good for all skin types, many dermatologists recommend.. I'm not sure about the sunscreen sunscreen though, seems a bit heavier.
@Aly Cat If you're looking just for a mineral sunscreen I know a good 1 that doesn't have a white cast blends in well.. but it's not tinted unfortunately if that's what you are preferring. Although I'm not sure if it's meant for sensitive skin or not.. I haven't had issues but I don't have sensitive skin just have acne prone skin-I know everyone's skin is different. It's not super cheap though around $30 a bottle.
I love that you including sunscreens without niacinamide! Niacinamide is my biggest enemy in skincare 😂 It keeps getting harder and harder to find skincare without niacinamide...
The Tatcha sunscreen is my HG, after trying almost all mineral sunscreens out there. I have extremely fair, dry, mature skin and this is the only one that does turn gray, orange, or white. Thx for you amazing channel. I trust you and only you.
I needed this today!! I know this is a little different from your usual content, but could you do a video on skin and hair care for swimmers? The chlorine is so harsh on skin and hair, especially if you have skin conditions or wavy/curly hair or if you are an athlete. I swam for years in my youth and had terrible frizzy hair and ashy skin to the point where I stopped this wonderful form of exercise because I was tired of always being itchy and having unmanageable hair. I cobbled together this haircare routine from various Reddit forums and articles years ago and it seems to work, but I'm sure there are other things I could be doing prevent dryness, itch, and aging. Swimmers will really appreciate this, and it's a good time since summer is pool season! Thanks, Dr Dray
Before I swim I slather my hair in Aldi's Argan Oil Hydrating conditioner (sulphate free) and put Vaseline Intensive care on my body, including fingernails. Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) neutralises chlorine, So I put my Vitamin C serum (with ferulic) on my face when I get home. Can I ask how do you incorporate ascorbic acid into you pre/post swim hair and skincare routine? I am afraid that of the concentration was too strong it would turn my fair skin and blonde hair orange😳 👱♀️❤
Great tips for hair - I keep mine really short, so it is less of an issue. What is your favorite sunscreen for swimming for both face and body? Swimming with a rash guard is one way, but it is clumsy. Thanks!
@@nadab4750 It was a little tricky figuring out how to use the solution at the pool. You can't make a big batch ahead of time since absorbic acid loses its efficacy in a day or so of contact with water. I keep a small jar of absorbic acid crystals in my bag. The ratio I use is 2 tablespoons of absorbic acid crystals to 1 cup of water, and I use a blender bottle (the kind used for workout shakes) to mix it quickly at the pool. I'm not very precise with this ratio in practice, but I have not had any problems yet! I got the absorbic acid crystals at a local supplement store. The crystals are white in color, so I don't think you have to worry about your hair turning orange 😅 but my hair is black so I wouldn't know for sure. Thanks for sharing your routine! Sometimes I use Aquaphor on my cheeks because I get dry there.
After seeing this video, I ordered Sun Bum tinted mineral. This is the most comfortable to wear mineral sunscreen that I have ever put on my face. I like the smooth and easy to spread texture, it blurs pores, masks some of my redness, and isn't shiny. I am on my second tube and just ordered three more. I love it! Thanks for the recommendation.
I enjoy that Sun Bum option. It is great for on-the-go and I use it as a light primer before makeup as well. It has a mousse or whipped consistency. It doesn’t drip like liquid although I do enjoy liquid sunscreens too.
So I tried the Tatcha tinted silk sunscreen last week. My ROSACEA went absolutely CRAZY. I've never had a breakout like this before. My skin was beginning to look like glass after 1 yr of supplements, healthy eating, tons of H2O, retinol, liquid exfoliant, Biossance gel moisturizer and face oil. I sent that TATCHA ish back immediately. I'm going to stick with my 25 spf mineral veil.
I just bought Aveeno kid’s mineral 21% zinc on a stick. Game changer! I love it. I love Sun Bum mineral, but all of the sunscreens I’ve tried, although excellent, irritated my eyes so much. With the stick, it is so manageable and no problem with reapplying, since I don’t wear makeup
Dr Dray PLEASE PLEASE GO OVER NANO AND NON-NANO!!!! I love the Drmtlgy sunscreens, but they’re nano sized. Would love to know if they’re just as good!!!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I am "light" with an olive undertone, so most base products either look pink or orange on me (if not totally washed out). I don't usually wear face makeup and I've wanted to use tinted spf, but it tends to look orange. If I could find a grey/green based one then that would work, though I'm afraid it would just rub off onto my clothes and such.. I'm always on the hunt for more spf though so maybe some in this video will work. ☺
I have the same problem, I add a touch of L.A. Girl’s Pro color BLUE foundation mixing pigment. A little goes a long way but it really helps take away the orange tint. I’m not sure if it messes with the SPF effectiveness though.
I've heard Missha BB cream SPF 42 PA+++ is grayish and I've seen it compared to a Purito BB as being similar. I use the lightest shade 13 and it's the only tinted sunscreen/BB cream I can use, the rest are too orange including from european La Roche Posay, Bioderma, Avene.
I was kind of excited about the Tatcha one but I put it on my hand in Sephora and no way. It left a white cast and I am not of a dark complexion. If it helps anyone I am a Fenty 350 and the Tatcha just doesn't pass the test. I'll stick to Supergoop and (surprisingly) Glow Recipe. I'm thinking of trying Neogen but idk yet.
Since were talking TARGET - I have to mention the Boots No. 7 Fragrance free “Foundation Drops”. They’ve been an absolute game changer for me. I add them on the top of my hand to my moisturizer with sunscreen or any untinted sunscreen. Great for when you can not find a tinted sunscreen or BB cream for your skin color.
The sun bum is a staple for me! I have tried a lot of expensive ones but this is like a fluffy mousse and spreads like a dream. Blends in but also has a pore blurring effect like make up. It feels like nothing is on your skin after it dries and has no scent. I like it much better than drmtlgy brand ones and those are also great.
Thanks for this as iv never tried a tinted sunscreen but I really like the look of the sunbum one so it's nice to hear you say it has the qualities I'm looking for... I'm gonna try it xxx
Anyone who has my skin tone (medium/olive/darker) I recommend CeraVe’s Hydrating Tinted Mineral sunscreen. It’s almost like a primer and make-up in one, but a sunscreen. I wouldn’t recommend it if you have oily skin though. It’s a very dewy/glowy finish.
As a fair skinned person, I love that you love trying out sunscreens and reviewing them for us, you are so wonderful and I thank you so much for all your content. Have a great week 😄
from my humble and limited experience with sunscreens, i find that mineral sunscreens don’t pill as much (i’ve tried 3 so far). chemical ones, especially the fluid ones, pill sometimes
Tried the colorscience flex because of your recommendation in the past and I love it 🥰 I have it in tan and it’s the perfect shade for me. It's almost has a blurring effect to it and is gorgeous on the skin. Thanks Dr. Dray ❤
@@stephanieabutler No its not greasy at all, it has a demi-matte finish, so it's matte but not drying or flat. If you do want to mattify your skin, I would say do that before, then apply your tinted sunscreen over.
Colorscience Classic Face Shield checks all the boxes for me, and consistently keeps me from burning because I work outdoors in the summer. It’s great that there are even more affordable options out there at a better price point. I find the Unrefined R&R to be more yellow/warm on me whereas Colorscience Classic more peachy. That said, they both blend well into skin. I still like to have a non-tinted option for sports (mineral or chemical) so I’m not wiping tinted product off my face onto towels or clothing. Thanks for keeping us updated, I’m always trying new sunscreens out as they get better and better😊
I love Paula's choice wrinkle defense SPF. It evens out my skintone perfectly. It's hard to find one for pale skin. The botanical SPF was too orange for me. These look promising though
I'm currently wearing my new favorite tinted sunscreen: Suntegrity Impeccable Skin SPF 30 in the shady Ivory. Great coverage with the perfect demi-matte finish and no greasiness or white cast whatsoever! Plus, the Ivory shade matches my skin tone perfectly! It ain't cheap, but it's worth every penny in my book.
The Sun Bum Mineral sunscreen is really nice and does not give you a shiny appearance. It’s great on no-foundation days. I bought the Cotz 50 spf at the same time and liked it okay but wasn’t crazy about the consistency, given it’s not water-resistant. The Eucerin Age Defense 50 SPF (which you covered in an earlier video) is fantastic and I wholeheartedly recommend.
You might want to take a look at Australian Gold sunscreens. They have three tints as well as untinted, and the prices are good. If you have a fair complexion, Think tinted sunscreen might also be an option for you.
Same here. I use the Japanese spf 50 pa++++ chemical sunscreens. You can buy many of them on Amazon for less than $4 per ounce. So far I've loved every one I've tried and they don't burn my eyes.
Heheh I knew the Delta MD would be in this list, Not sure if I would buy the Tatcha either… I’ve bought their products before and I tend to oxidate with their products (like my face turns in a weird orange color, don’t know why) and expensive. Sun bum looks like a beautiful color and I LOVE how it looked on you, will try it for sure, and also curious of the R&R. LOVEEEEEE this video!!!!!!!
You have converted me. I have not used sunscreen for most my life because it broke me out. Now that I use a tinted mineral sunscreen, I do not! And it has taken the place of my foundation. I wish I had done this years ago!
I definitely attribute you to my regular sunscreen use. It was something that my family never really cared about but now I’m all for wearing it indoors and out. Also, your recommendations are great! I love the black girl sunscreen and Japanese sunscreens the best 😊
@@whitneybrown4067 Just wishing that I could use my sunscreen on my English box plants. Even though they were kept under shade, a lot still got burnt in the sun. The leaves got burnt first, then the stems dried out too, even though I watered them regularly. Most of them haven't recovered, but I still have a few left. Hopefully they will be fine as is autumn now. 🌡☀️🌿 I think I have to stick with the Australian natives, suculents and cacti. 👱♀️❤
I ordered the Sun Bum tinted mineral sunscreen. Really like it so far. This blends well with my fair skin tone. Good to have a more economical choice that is such high quality. Thank you for reviewing this!
My favorites are Murad city skin and Colorescience face shield. My derm said I'm a Fitzpatrick type 1, and the tint of these actually works for me. Most tints are way too dark/brown/orange, but the pink/peach tones of these work for me.
@@mcookie0983 I haven't tried to matte! On the website the tint looked like it wouldn't work for me, so I've stuck with what I know works for me. And I use the powder sunscreen to bring down the shine, if needed.
COTZ is my go to. Keep an eye out on ULTA for sales they have BOGO 40-50% off sometimes. I love that its 50spf. It does dry down a bit so it isnt as shiny after a few minutes. Wears well under makeup. I also love their primer but its expensive for what it is. I find I also love their 40 spf for face and body it has almost NO White cast on me once it sets plus you get more product. Love most of their products ive tried. I usually wear the tinted when I go places and the non tinted for hiking etc. and NO BURNING in my eyes! I cant do chemical sunscreen AT ALL on my face. So these are my holy grail so far.
Have you heard of ISDN? I love it but just found out it’s not cruelty free and the people who sold it to me told me it was. Also very expensive!!! It’s got a heavy scent to it. Kind of dark for me but overall I like it other than I’m going to be discontinuing use and throwing it away because I’m clearing my life of anything that causes pain. Such a bummer!!! I’m very VERY fair. I always have trouble finding spf tinted moisturizers. I use Ilia foundation with spf 40, however, that’s not enough for me. My dad died of skin cancer. Not trying to follow in his footsteps. I have inherited his and my grandmother’s fair skin. Grandma also had squamous cell skin cancer she had to have chunks of her face removed all the way in her 90’s. So I’m really looking for the best cf vegan spf products for fair skin tones. I can wear daily. Thanks so much!!
Ive tried several of the sunsceens mentioned here. My go to tinted sunscreen these days is Australian Gold Botanical 50 Tinted Face.. It's not that weird orange tint you sometimes see in tinted sunscreens, and it comes in different shades (maybe 3 or 4). It's fragrance free, spf 50, and water resistant for 80 minutes. It stays put even in high humidity. I've taken it to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and Florida and it's stood the test of time for 3 summers now.
I have an F1 skin tone and the new Tactcha sunscreen is the sunscreen of my dreams. I am wowed by it! And I am appreciative for the very light sheer color that it provides because all the other tinted sunscreens are way too deep. Even the ones that are supposed to be light. They all turn my orange.
Hey guys as a heads up the skinceuticals sunscreen 4 oz. container costs about $66, but I’ve been using liberally daily and it’s still half full about 7 months later. So actually the sunscreen comes out pretty cheap because of how long it lasts. I think it’s because it’s so liquid like that it lasts so long.
Yep, agree as well! For a brand that tends to have really expensive products, I was surprise that for Skinceuticals’ the most important skincare product, sunscreen, is actually a good bargain. I bought my 4.2 fl oz bottle in person for $66 at Blue Mercury. To me it’s worth every penny!
I’ve been using the tinted dermatology sunscreen recommend by Dr. Dray in an older video. I actually like it better than the EltaMD. It is not shiny at all and actually makes your skin look really good.
Thank you for the review! I have medium olive complexion and very sensitive skin. I’ve tried Elta Md UV restore both tinted and non tinted and they both burn my eyes and cause me to break out. Surprisingly the Tatcha sunscreen works great. I know it’s expensive but it works for me. Sheer tint but not white cast and it doesn’t burn my eyes. I’m interested in trying some of the other options.
I've been using ColorScience Sunforgettable for the last year, since you recommended it. I have pale skin, and I still like it. What is your opinion about it these days? Thanks for all the science info, as always!
I love the EltaMD Elements tinted. It's very similar to the Restore one I think, but it's water resistant. So for hot, sweaty weather it works better, and it works great under makeup! The tint is a little darker, so on my very fair skin I look bronzed when wearing it, but it doesn't look orange so that's nice. The tint is lighter than some of the other eltamd tinted sunscreens, but darker than the eltamd UV Physical which has a very light tint.
I've had tinted sunscreens stain my clothes. 😖 Be careful putting them on your neck near your collar! On a radically different note, just found out I have cold urticaria. 🌡️ Be nice to see a Dr. Dray vid on that!
ABSOLUTELY LOVE, LOVE, LOVE SUNBUM TINTED MINERAL SUNSCREEN SPF 30!!! HAVE REPURCHASED SEVERAL TIMES!!! PERFECT PRIORITY PRODUCT TO COMPLETE MY ROUTINE!!!
Always so helpful. I've started using tinted sunscreens and they are game changers.. Hard to find the right fit for yourself. You gotta try a bunch and see what works... Unfortunately.
Can you review the Live Tinted mineral sunscreen? Not many products out there with tints that suit the undertones of people of color. This brand does a great job of being inclusive. Would love to get your thoughts on it.
For the Tatcha sunscreen, Sephora has an image stating that it’s 80 min water resistant. I emailed Tatcha, and they confirmed that the sunscreen is water resistant.
I use Australia Gold tinted mineral SPF 50 on my face, which seems to even out my skin tone a touch, and Walmart brand chemical SPF 50 on my full body since it's cheaper.
I would very much like for you to do a video on skin folds and how to deal with the Candida. Sunscreen Anecdote:I was surprised yesterday attending a family gathering where my nephews aged 18 and 30 were discussing sunscreen.
Have you ever tried Zeosorb powder? My Mom was quite well endowed and had that problem under her breasts until her doctor suggested she use Zeosorb after every bath or shower…problem resolved. Amazon carries it along with a dupe that contains the same ingredients at a lower price.
@@Divinestyler22 Acne cleansers are not anti-fungal. Zeosorb is a powder that contains an anti-fungal and is recommended by doctors for precisely the problem of fungus in skin folds such as under the breasts.
@@JulienArbor Actually there is more than enough evidence on benzoyl peroxides ability to kill yeast, whether it's classified as an antifungal or not is irrelevant. Also, she asked specifically for a video on skinfolds and it has already been addressed in a previous video. The recommendation was an acne wash containing benzoyl peroxide.
@@JulienArbor Also, I wasn't discrediting your suggestion at all. I was simply letting her know skin folds had already been addressed in a previous video and what the suggestion was. Benzoyl peroxide can be irritating so your suggestion is probably also a very good one.
Oh darn I was hoping you would do a review & give your thoughts on La Roche-posay tinted sunscreen. Great video though👍 will have to try some of the ones you reviewed. I’m olive skin toned so some are too pale but will definitely try them.🙋♀️
Thank you for all you recommendations and I feel confident your a real doctor and so smart . I can’t afford to see a dermatologist constantly for just basic things and your info has helped my teen dealing with starting acne . I have bought him products I seen you talk about for that and it’s helped him and saved me tons of money. Your a blessing and totally beautiful. Keep the great content coming . 😘
I love sunscreen reviews. Idk if it’s weird or not but us chemical burns the crap out of my skin but the mineral ones burn my eyes bad and make them red. Not sure why. Only sunscreen that works for me is the ishean kiss me mommy one that you recommend. I absolutely love it!
You help me so much, when you speak about spf 🧴, because I live in Israel and both me and my husband go through sunscreens very fast, and we’re always open to try new ones! Every time I order/buy skincare or makeup, I put 2-3 sunscreen products in my basket, here you can never have too much! And I always make lists watching your videos! Thanks a lot!!
Would love a Fitzpatrick scale score alongside these! I am between a 1-2 and I have rosacea so I have to stick to mineral but since I’m so fair I can’t wear most tinted sunscreens 😢
Can you do a deep dive on the stick SPF formulas? Clear and tinted. I've been trying the Neutrogena stick SPF 40 and the Vichy Tinted SPF 50 and they seem so nourishing for us dry skin gals.
She's never been a big sunscreen stick fan (skip areas) but she has recommended Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Mineral Sunscreen Stick and the kids one. I know the neutrogena ones come up again in The Budget Dermatologist's video on Neutrogena sunscreens (she reviews them all).
Cerave! I just purchased the Ceravae Tinted sunscreen & so far I love it. I wear under makeup, it’s not shiny, spreads easily & ceramides & niacinamide.
A new tinted sunscreen by The Route, is the best! The Shake & Shield! It has 12% zinc oxide & I love it. It is very dewy with zero white cast. I have never worn foundation, but my sister used to, & now she just uses Shake & Shield instead. The co founder is my nurse practitioner, since 1999. It can be bought at Ulta, Sephora, HSN, & online & probably other places as well. There is a discount with your 1st order online.
I’m surprised the skinceuticals wasn’t more expensive. Thanks for this video. It’s the perfect time of year-tinted sunscreen instead of makeup melting off in the Texas heat 😊
Love Sunscreens! I just reviewed the Peter Thomas Rother Max Clear and Tula Protect and Glow under makeup (they are amazing!!!) and am working on the Sunbum one and Cay Skins new Isle Glow. Definitely have thoughts about both of these especially for makeup wearers. Thanks Doc! 😊
Definitely adding the Australian Gold to the list to try. I will say Sunbums tinted appears to be wonderful for those with a fair-light COOL undertone which is super rare! Most tints lean warm or even orange so to have 1 cool toned option is exciting! 😁
For anybody attempting to pursue Blue Light protection, I'd like to stress in this video that she says, *"MAY offer..."* In other words, there is no guarantee that the tinted sunscreens mentioned in this video will actually yield said protection simply based on the fact that they contain iron oxides. This goes for makeup as well. Unless these brands have done rigorous testing (which I would guess they have not) to show the tint in their sunscreens offer Blue Light protection, then I wouldn't get my hopes up. Yes, you MAY be getting SOME protection, but don't think you need to run out and buy a tinted sunscreen to incorporate into your routine. Blue Light protection offered by Iron Oxides highly depends on the type-quality, percentage used, formulation, correct density/amount applied to the skin, as well as the ratio of red, yellow, and black pigments. To my knowledge, Colorscience is one of the few brands out there to demonstrate these results in testing, to actually make the claims that their sunscreens offer Blue Light protection. If anything, I would rely on Avène's new TriAsorB filter over any tinted sunscreen based on iron oxides. In summary, just choose a sunscreen you enjoy wearing, and reapplying. Don't mix products, don't over-think layering products, and don't fall for the internet buzz or hype around the necessity for Blue Light protection.
I've never used a tinted sunscreen but they seem like a good option, especially in the Summer, when I'm looking for something less heavy than my regular foundation. Thanks for the reviews! These seem nice. Happy Monday, Dr Dray! I hope you have a lovely evening. 💙
I have a darker skin tone and the Cotz one have been working quite well for the past few weeks. It is shiny and doesn’t really leave a cast to my eyes. The sunscreen needs a few minutes to ~vanish~ and after that the cast isn’t much noticeable. When i apply it a good 20 min. before stepping out the door, i feel comfortable wearing it. The shininess also comes down a little (but i haven’t used it in the middle of the summer yet, so idk about that).
Thank you so incredibly much. I LOVE your sunscreen videos!! I tried several sunscreens … I have sensitive , reactive and dry skin. My favourite right now is Ultra Viollette’s mineral sunscreen ’ lean screen’. It has a tint, and is supposed to be mattifying but I haven’t found that ( everyone’s skin is different, and reacts differently to different products etc and I have heard that people with oily skin love it too for that reason). It’s spf 50+ UVA + UVB ( broad spectrum) …. It’s Australian ( like me!), so the spf really is amazing & trustworthy ( I hope that makes sense! UVA is at least 1/3 of the UVB, at least). It’s fragrance free and has minimal ingredients. I have sensitive eyes too and haven’t really had any trouble with stinging. . I have to say it was strange when I first started using it, my skin became incredibly dry after a few days and then was fine. Not entirely sure if it was the sunscreen or something else. I have a feeling though my skin was just reacting (?) adjusting (?) to a new/different product. Glad I stuck with it one more day! Wouldn’t normally do that! Oh and it has a fantastic blurring effect 😊
thanks for your comment! i have the same skin type as you, but can’t find ultra viollette products in my local shops. are there any other sunscreens that you recommend?
We would love to see these tinted sunscreens on different skin tones and colors. As a person of color, I always am skeptical of tinted sunscreens not being a match for my skin color and tone. Here's an idea: How about we get to see more colabs with people of color or just Dr Dray sharing pictures from when she asked her followers on instagram to share how these sunscreens look on their skin color and then make a video to share them with us!
Here in Brazil La Roche Posay have a system of creating your own color, dropping the color product into the colorless sunscreen in your hand. Average brazilian is darker than me, so even the 'light' shade is way too dark for me. I dont use tinted sunscreen anymore because it stains the beard.
Edit. Is called Color Dose
how about no?
I think it's a great idea as long as different tones of all races are shown as there's not only one tone for either race or ethnicity.
Hi, I actually reveiwed the Cotz suncreen on my channel last year if you want to see the results on deeper skin toned.
She does have a review for color tones 4, 5 and 6 but it is from two years ago
For anyone with a fair complexion who finds the COTZ Flawless tint a little too dark, or finds the shiny finish not to your taste, or needs added hydration and skin barrier support, or needs water resistance (80 min), or enjoys a silky smooth finish…give the COTZ Face Moisture SPF35 Lightly Tinted a try. It contains 16% zinc, iron oxide, ceramides, and dimethicone which gives a blurring effect to the pores. Can be worn under makeup or on its own.
Thanks for the recommendation! I like the Australian Gold tinted face sunscreen for many of these reasons but am always interested in trying similar products.
Good advice cause it is GREASY on me.
@@fefemyluv The COTZ Flawless is greasy on you? It was a bit greasy on me as well. I love the COTZ Face Moisture…not greasy at all!
This product has an identical ingredient list with the TIZO product mentioned in the video. TIZO and COTZ are sister companies, so the COTZ might be a cheaper dupe.
@@JulienArbor yes! Sad part is, it’s the only one from COTZ that doesn’t leave a terrible cast on me. I’ve tried quite a few through those samples. I’ve since switched over to European & Japanese sunscreen.
The Australian Gold spf 50 tinted mineral sunscreen is my ride or die. Love it!! I basically use it instead of a foundation since I don’t mind the light coverage.
Same here. But I am really sceptical about the prosentage off filters in them. I did a lot of Google search but still not convinced. Anyone else that knows?
I love it also great on my oily skin
The best
I have used this daily for three years. It’s wonderful for exercising outside because it does not melt or sweat off. Love love love this brand.
I love this sunscreen hut this has only 4% zinc and I don’t think it’s enough to protect from strong sun
The best tinted sunscreen I’ve ever used is the Skinceuticals physical fusion. It’s way too expensive to use daily so I only use it in situations where I don’t want any cast.
Thank you for these videos! I’ve gotten a lot better at wearing sunscreen because of you! 🥰
I'm so glad!
Same!

I love my European tinted sunscreens: Bioderma (Photoderm Nude touch spf 50+), Isispharma mineral tinted spf 50+, SVR Sun Secure spf 50+, Avene sun mineral fluid - all these are fragrance free and are perfect for sensitive skin (I have rosacea so I use these a lot, twice or three times per day without causing me any irritation). European peeps have a wide range of good options that are budget friendly and effective.
I was just going to ask and you answered my question. And are all these mineral? Have you tried any of the eucerin tinted sunscreens?
@@kate3264 yes, all of these have mineral filters only!
Also, Uriage has some nice mineral options, however I have never tried any tinted spf from them as they have fragrance - but there are non tinted and fragrance free mineral options from Uriage that I use and love.
Unfortunately I’ve never used any Eucerin sunscreens so I cannot comment on that.
Yes I love EU sunscreens, I love Bioderma covertouch, I still need to try the other one that have, I got one from Garnier and Isdin came with more colors those with fragrances tho
Well, yes, but the "universal" tint is still a bit of a problem. What is universal in France is somewhat less so in Scotland, regardless of our shared disgust for the carbuncle that is England. Which of these would you say is the lightest and least orange in tint? Isispharma's AR line is excellent!
@@pencilfriendpaperscribbler6032 with bioderma I usually purchase the light colour (they also have a very light colour but I do prefer a bit of a “bronze” so to say).
I can’t really say which one suits your skin type best. You have to keep trying different brands and their shade ranges and see what works for you.
What I also used to do was to put on a mineral sunscreen that is quite white casty and to mask that I would come on top with any tinted mineral sunscreen that I preferred that day. Also, you can blend in your hand some mineral sunscreen and a bit of tinted mineral sunscreen to create your preferred shade. Both methods worked well for me and that’s what I usually do on a daily basis.
This CoTZ was way too moisturizing for my combo/oily skin but my sister who has eczema and super sensitive skin absolutely loved it! I really love the CoTZ Face Prime & Protect SPF 40 - Tinted!
I agree-I have dry, sensitive skin, but the regular CoTZ was too moisturizing even for me!
@@vetsai8199 was it the spf 40 sensitive one you tried or the flawless complexion? Just wondering as I'm looking for a really moisturising one as I have extremely dry skin thanks
@@emms4867 It was the Flawless Complexion.
i’m on my fourth bottle of sunbum! as someone with an oilier t-zone, i love the more matte texture
Which one do you have? The regular one or the tinted ❤️
The BEST sunscreen ever I can’t believe I haven’t tried it sooner
I tried the Tatcha sunscreen recently. It’s nice but even at $60 it’s still nothing like the $15 tinted Cerave sunscreen- which imo is the best ever ❤️ ☀️
Is the Cerave a light or dark tint? Do you have dry or oily skin? Thanks
I found the ceraVE to make my face look a tid bit oily. It's the best color match for me however, that blends in okay that I've found so far. Some tinted sunscreens can be a little more on the orangey/dark side or not blend in as well look kinda cakey. I have skin that is on somewhat the oily side but not super oily.. CeraVE moisturizer is supposed to be good for all skin types, many dermatologists recommend.. I'm not sure about the sunscreen sunscreen though, seems a bit heavier.
Cerave tinted mineral sunscreen broke me out. Still on the hunt for a good mineral sunscreen that doesn’t clog my pores and doesn’t have fragrance.
@Aly Cat If you're looking just for a mineral sunscreen I know a good 1 that doesn't have a white cast blends in well.. but it's not tinted unfortunately if that's what you are preferring. Although I'm not sure if it's meant for sensitive skin or not.. I haven't had issues but I don't have sensitive skin just have acne prone skin-I know everyone's skin is different. It's not super cheap though around $30 a bottle.
I love that you including sunscreens without niacinamide! Niacinamide is my biggest enemy in skincare 😂 It keeps getting harder and harder to find skincare without niacinamide...
Me too! Glad to know someone else has a problem with it. It is in almost everything now.
I cannot tolerate Niacinaminde … I have given away so many very expensive sunscreens because of my skins reaction to it
The Tatcha sunscreen is my HG, after trying almost all mineral sunscreens out there. I have extremely fair, dry, mature skin and this is the only one that does turn gray, orange, or white. Thx for you amazing channel. I trust you and only you.
I needed this today!! I know this is a little different from your usual content, but could you do a video on skin and hair care for swimmers? The chlorine is so harsh on skin and hair, especially if you have skin conditions or wavy/curly hair or if you are an athlete. I swam for years in my youth and had terrible frizzy hair and ashy skin to the point where I stopped this wonderful form of exercise because I was tired of always being itchy and having unmanageable hair. I cobbled together this haircare routine from various Reddit forums and articles years ago and it seems to work, but I'm sure there are other things I could be doing prevent dryness, itch, and aging. Swimmers will really appreciate this, and it's a good time since summer is pool season! Thanks, Dr Dray
yes please!! the chlorine destroys my curly hair
She has a video like that (not sure about the curly hair part), 10 tips to protect your hair and skin from the swimming pool, Jun 19, '20.
Before I swim I slather my hair in Aldi's Argan Oil Hydrating conditioner (sulphate free) and put Vaseline Intensive care on my body, including fingernails.
Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) neutralises chlorine, So I put my Vitamin C serum (with ferulic) on my face when I get home.
Can I ask how do you incorporate ascorbic acid into you pre/post swim hair and skincare routine? I am afraid that of the concentration was too strong it would turn my fair skin and blonde hair orange😳
👱♀️❤
Great tips for hair - I keep mine really short, so it is less of an issue. What is your favorite sunscreen for swimming for both face and body? Swimming with a rash guard is one way, but it is clumsy. Thanks!
@@nadab4750 It was a little tricky figuring out how to use the solution at the pool. You can't make a big batch ahead of time since absorbic acid loses its efficacy in a day or so of contact with water. I keep a small jar of absorbic acid crystals in my bag. The ratio I use is 2 tablespoons of absorbic acid crystals to 1 cup of water, and I use a blender bottle (the kind used for workout shakes) to mix it quickly at the pool. I'm not very precise with this ratio in practice, but I have not had any problems yet!
I got the absorbic acid crystals at a local supplement store. The crystals are white in color, so I don't think you have to worry about your hair turning orange 😅 but my hair is black so I wouldn't know for sure.
Thanks for sharing your routine! Sometimes I use Aquaphor on my cheeks because I get dry there.
Since I discovered Dr. Dray, I have been so much more consistent with my sunscreen usage. I just can't walk out the door without putting it on!
Love when you edit the product onto the screen with info typed below. So helpful. Thank you! 💗
After seeing this video, I ordered Sun Bum tinted mineral. This is the most comfortable to wear mineral sunscreen that I have ever put on my face. I like the smooth and easy to spread texture, it blurs pores, masks some of my redness, and isn't shiny. I am on my second tube and just ordered three more. I love it! Thanks for the recommendation.
Definitely getting this one to try it on my light- medium neutral mature skin. thanks 👍
May I ask what skin tone you have? Do you have dry or oily skin? Thanks
I enjoy that Sun Bum option. It is great for on-the-go and I use it as a light primer before makeup as well. It has a mousse or whipped consistency. It doesn’t drip like liquid although I do enjoy liquid sunscreens too.
What is your skin type?
So I tried the Tatcha tinted silk sunscreen last week. My ROSACEA went absolutely CRAZY. I've never had a breakout like this before. My skin was beginning to look like glass after 1 yr of supplements, healthy eating, tons of H2O, retinol, liquid exfoliant, Biossance gel moisturizer and face oil. I sent that TATCHA ish back immediately. I'm going to stick with my 25 spf mineral veil.
Which spf do you use that doesn’t upset ur rosacea?
I’m normally a drugstore skincare person, but that SkinCeuticals physical fusion is worth every dollar and my favorite tinted sunscreen.
I just bought Aveeno kid’s mineral 21% zinc on a stick. Game changer! I love it. I love Sun Bum mineral, but all of the sunscreens I’ve tried, although excellent, irritated my eyes so much. With the stick, it is so manageable and no problem with reapplying, since I don’t wear makeup
Same! My eyes started to water and looked red by the end of the day
Dr Dray PLEASE PLEASE GO OVER NANO AND NON-NANO!!!! I love the Drmtlgy sunscreens, but they’re nano sized. Would love to know if they’re just as good!!!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Have you checked all of her DRMTLGY videos?
I am "light" with an olive undertone, so most base products either look pink or orange on me (if not totally washed out). I don't usually wear face makeup and I've wanted to use tinted spf, but it tends to look orange. If I could find a grey/green based one then that would work, though I'm afraid it would just rub off onto my clothes and such.. I'm always on the hunt for more spf though so maybe some in this video will work. ☺
Same here. Neostrata defend spf 50 PA ++++ works great for me.
@@Loufi303 thank you! I'll check it out.
I have the same problem, I add a touch of L.A. Girl’s Pro color BLUE foundation mixing pigment.
A little goes a long way but it really helps take away the orange tint.
I’m not sure if it messes with the SPF effectiveness though.
It doesn't have iron oxides, but if you’re looking for a green tint, try hero cosmetics sunscreen
I've heard Missha BB cream SPF 42 PA+++ is grayish and I've seen it compared to a Purito BB as being similar. I use the lightest shade 13 and it's the only tinted sunscreen/BB cream I can use, the rest are too orange including from european La Roche Posay, Bioderma, Avene.
I was kind of excited about the Tatcha one but I put it on my hand in Sephora and no way. It left a white cast and I am not of a dark complexion. If it helps anyone I am a Fenty 350 and the Tatcha just doesn't pass the test. I'll stick to Supergoop and (surprisingly) Glow Recipe. I'm thinking of trying Neogen but idk yet.
yes, hardly any tint
This is good to know as I am extremely pale and a lot of tinted sunscreens are way too dark for me!
Thank you for pointing out the niacinamide - saves me getting my hopes up about the product 😊
I love the tinted mineral sun bum spf 30. Thanks so much for reviewing it. Feels good knowing my fave dermatologist recommends the sunscreen I use!
Since were talking TARGET - I have to mention the Boots No. 7 Fragrance free “Foundation Drops”. They’ve been an absolute game changer for me. I add them on the top of my hand to my moisturizer with sunscreen or any untinted sunscreen. Great for when you can not find a tinted sunscreen or BB cream for your skin color.
I love the Australian gold tinted 50. I have oily skin and thus sunscreen almost acts like a primer
The sun bum is a staple for me! I have tried a lot of expensive ones but this is like a fluffy mousse and spreads like a dream. Blends in but also has a pore blurring effect like make up. It feels like nothing is on your skin after it dries and has no scent. I like it much better than drmtlgy brand ones and those are also great.
Thanks for this as iv never tried a tinted sunscreen but I really like the look of the sunbum one so it's nice to hear you say it has the qualities I'm looking for... I'm gonna try it xxx
Anyone who has my skin tone (medium/olive/darker) I recommend CeraVe’s Hydrating Tinted Mineral sunscreen. It’s almost like a primer and make-up in one, but a sunscreen. I wouldn’t recommend it if you have oily skin though. It’s a very dewy/glowy finish.
Sounds right up my alley, thank you!
I use that one and I love it.
I use this one as well. Its lovely. It has a messy cap but I deal with cleaning it like a ketchup bottle 😋
I think I tried that one and it didn't work for my skin tone (a bit darker than yours at a medium-deep), which was a shame.
Idk why that one doesn’t work well for me. Had a hard time blending in 😭 and I have olive skin
As a fair skinned person, I love that you love trying out sunscreens and reviewing them for us, you are so wonderful and I thank you so much for all your content. Have a great week 😄
from my humble and limited experience with sunscreens, i find that mineral sunscreens don’t pill as much (i’ve tried 3 so far).
chemical ones, especially the fluid ones, pill sometimes
Tried the colorscience flex because of your recommendation in the past and I love it 🥰 I have it in tan and it’s the perfect shade for me. It's almost has a blurring effect to it and is gorgeous on the skin. Thanks Dr. Dray ❤
Do you find it greasy? 🤔 I want to try the Flex but haven't liked any of the other Colorscience sunscreens.
@@stephanieabutler i use the flex, allow it to set and then I apply the matte.
@@stephanieabutler No its not greasy at all, it has a demi-matte finish, so it's matte but not drying or flat. If you do want to mattify your skin, I would say do that before, then apply your tinted sunscreen over.
Colorscience Classic Face Shield checks all the boxes for me, and consistently keeps me from burning because I work outdoors in the summer. It’s great that there are even more affordable options out there at a better price point. I find the Unrefined R&R to be more yellow/warm on me whereas Colorscience Classic more peachy. That said, they both blend well into skin. I still like to have a non-tinted option for sports (mineral or chemical) so I’m not wiping tinted product off my face onto towels or clothing. Thanks for keeping us updated, I’m always trying new sunscreens out as they get better and better😊
I love Paula's choice wrinkle defense SPF. It evens out my skintone perfectly. It's hard to find one for pale skin. The botanical SPF was too orange for me. These look promising though
Just what I needed! I trust Dr Dray so much. Whatever she’s recommended has always worked for me! She’s my honest & loyal bestfriend…, in my head! 😝
I'm currently wearing my new favorite tinted sunscreen: Suntegrity Impeccable Skin SPF 30 in the shady Ivory.
Great coverage with the perfect demi-matte finish and no greasiness or white cast whatsoever! Plus, the Ivory shade matches my skin tone perfectly! It ain't cheap, but it's worth every penny in my book.
They are all too expensive for me 😭
Thank you for your recommendations ❤️❤️
The Elta Md Restore is my go to everyday sunscreen. I love it and it’s so pretty.
The Sun Bum Mineral sunscreen is really nice and does not give you a shiny appearance. It’s great on no-foundation days. I bought the Cotz 50 spf at the same time and liked it okay but wasn’t crazy about the consistency, given it’s not water-resistant. The Eucerin Age Defense 50 SPF (which you covered in an earlier video) is fantastic and I wholeheartedly recommend.
I’m loving your pick, Epionce daily tinted (and also love a similar one from PCA Skin). Thanks for the new options!
I use the Epionce as well.
As do I!😃
I love the COTZ flawless sunscreen, I have a medium skin tone and it looks sheer! It leaves the skin looking dewy though
Unfortunately my budget won’t allow me to try these brands but I still enjoy your reviews 😃
You might want to take a look at Australian Gold sunscreens. They have three tints as well as untinted, and the prices are good.
If you have a fair complexion, Think tinted sunscreen might also be an option for you.
Same here. I use the Japanese spf 50 pa++++ chemical sunscreens. You can buy many of them on Amazon for less than $4 per ounce. So far I've loved every one I've tried and they don't burn my eyes.
Heheh I knew the Delta MD would be in this list, Not sure if I would buy the Tatcha either… I’ve bought their products before and I tend to oxidate with their products (like my face turns in a weird orange color, don’t know why) and expensive. Sun bum looks like a beautiful color and I LOVE how it looked on you, will try it for sure, and also curious of the R&R. LOVEEEEEE this video!!!!!!!
I have the same expxerience, I LOVE the elta MD physical, and goes on looking really nice, but it does oxidate on my face after a few hours.
You have converted me. I have not used sunscreen for most my life because it broke me out. Now that I use a tinted mineral sunscreen, I do not! And it has taken the place of my foundation. I wish I had done this years ago!
I definitely attribute you to my regular sunscreen use. It was something that my family never really cared about but now I’m all for wearing it indoors and out. Also, your recommendations are great! I love the black girl sunscreen and Japanese sunscreens the best 😊
My favorite tinted sunscreen is by CeraVe. I’m 67 and my skin seems to love it.
I'm still using the Propaira SPF 50+ UVA UVB tinted sunscreen 4 hour water resistant with niacinamide. Made in Melbourne, Australia.
👱♀️❤
Greetings Nada B hope u r well n Happy Monday😀👍💜….
@@whitneybrown4067 Just wishing that I could use my sunscreen on my English box plants. Even though they were kept under shade, a lot still got burnt in the sun. The leaves got burnt first, then the stems dried out too, even though I watered them regularly. Most of them haven't recovered, but I still have a few left. Hopefully they will be fine as is autumn now.
🌡☀️🌿
I think I have to stick with the Australian natives, suculents and cacti.
👱♀️❤
I love that I have stepped up my spf game. Thanks for helping educate me. So excited to hear that sun protection is trending!
I ordered the Sun Bum tinted mineral sunscreen. Really like it so far. This blends well with my fair skin tone. Good to have a more economical choice that is such high quality. Thank you for reviewing this!
Good to know. So many are too dark for fair skin.
My favorites are Murad city skin and Colorescience face shield.
My derm said I'm a Fitzpatrick type 1, and the tint of these actually works for me. Most tints are way too dark/brown/orange, but the pink/peach tones of these work for me.
Same! Everything looks bad on me because I'm so pale! So the color science face shield worked for u? Have u tried the matte?
@@mcookie0983 I haven't tried to matte! On the website the tint looked like it wouldn't work for me, so I've stuck with what I know works for me. And I use the powder sunscreen to bring down the shine, if needed.
Does the murad have any coverage? Like just to cover some redness
@@Sam-td6qd a little bit, yeah. Mostly people tell me my skin looks amazing when I wear it, but they don't really know why.
@@Roll587 thank you!
I love the LaRoche Posay tinted mineral sunscreen. It’s more of a matte finish
What is your skin type?
COTZ is my go to. Keep an eye out on ULTA for sales they have BOGO 40-50% off sometimes. I love that its 50spf. It does dry down a bit so it isnt as shiny after a few minutes. Wears well under makeup. I also love their primer but its expensive for what it is. I find I also love their 40 spf for face and body it has almost NO White cast on me once it sets plus you get more product. Love most of their products ive tried. I usually wear the tinted when I go places and the non tinted for hiking etc. and NO BURNING in my eyes! I cant do chemical sunscreen AT ALL on my face. So these are my holy grail so far.
My current favorite sunscreen is from Neova. Spreads easily and wears well under makeup
My favorite for year’s Australian Gold!
Same. Every single time I try something else, I regret it. For the quality and price, it can't be beat IMO, especially in the summer heat.
Have you heard of ISDN? I love it but just found out it’s not cruelty free and the people who sold it to me told me it was. Also very expensive!!! It’s got a heavy scent to it. Kind of dark for me but overall I like it other than I’m going to be discontinuing use and throwing it away because I’m clearing my life of anything that causes pain.
Such a bummer!!!
I’m very VERY fair. I always have trouble finding spf tinted moisturizers. I use Ilia foundation with spf 40, however, that’s not enough for me. My dad died of skin cancer. Not trying to follow in his footsteps. I have inherited his and my grandmother’s fair skin. Grandma also had squamous cell skin cancer she had to have chunks of her face removed all the way in her 90’s. So I’m really looking for the best cf vegan spf products for fair skin tones. I can wear daily. Thanks so much!!
Ive tried several of the sunsceens mentioned here. My go to tinted sunscreen these days is Australian Gold Botanical 50
Tinted Face.. It's not that weird orange tint you sometimes see in tinted sunscreens, and it comes in different shades (maybe 3 or 4). It's fragrance free, spf 50, and water resistant for 80 minutes. It stays put even in high humidity. I've taken it to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and Florida and it's stood the test of time for 3 summers now.
Where & how can you buy if in the US?
@@jolleenmacros8462 Ulta has it
it does leave me orange .. i think it'll depend on your skin tone. You got lucky lol
I like to use regular sunscreen on my face and then Physicians Formula CC Cream SPF 30 for some color.
I have an F1 skin tone and the new Tactcha sunscreen is the sunscreen of my dreams. I am wowed by it! And I am appreciative for the very light sheer color that it provides because all the other tinted sunscreens are way too deep. Even the ones that are supposed to be light. They all turn my orange.
$60 for 50 ml? No thx.
Hey guys as a heads up the skinceuticals sunscreen 4 oz. container costs about $66, but I’ve been using liberally daily and it’s still half full about 7 months later. So actually the sunscreen comes out pretty cheap because of how long it lasts. I think it’s because it’s so liquid like that it lasts so long.
I agree! I have the 4.2 oz bottle and even though it’s $66 I use it everyday and because it is a fluid sunscreen it lasts a long time.
Yep, agree as well! For a brand that tends to have really expensive products, I was surprise that for Skinceuticals’ the most important skincare product, sunscreen, is actually a good bargain. I bought my 4.2 fl oz bottle in person for $66 at Blue Mercury. To me it’s worth every penny!
I am so surprised she didn’t speak about CeraVe tinted mineral sunscreen
I’ve been using the tinted dermatology sunscreen recommend by Dr. Dray in an older video. I actually like it better than the EltaMD. It is not shiny at all and actually makes your skin look really good.
I got that but unfortunately it's not only mineral and I'm allergic to the octinoxate.
Thank you for the review! I have medium olive complexion and very sensitive skin. I’ve tried Elta Md UV restore both tinted and non tinted and they both burn my eyes and cause me to break out. Surprisingly the Tatcha sunscreen works great. I know it’s expensive but it works for me. Sheer tint but not white cast and it doesn’t burn my eyes. I’m interested in trying some of the other options.
You’re the reason I started wearing sunscreen! You are really out here possibly saving peoples lives.
I've been using ColorScience Sunforgettable for the last year, since you recommended it. I have pale skin, and I still like it.
What is your opinion about it these days?
Thanks for all the science info, as always!
I use ColorScience too. Hopefully leaving it off this video doesn’t mean it’s no longer recommended. 😊
I love the EltaMD Elements tinted. It's very similar to the Restore one I think, but it's water resistant. So for hot, sweaty weather it works better, and it works great under makeup! The tint is a little darker, so on my very fair skin I look bronzed when wearing it, but it doesn't look orange so that's nice. The tint is lighter than some of the other eltamd tinted sunscreens, but darker than the eltamd UV Physical which has a very light tint.
Thank you for highlighting when something is niacinamide free! Too much bothers my skin too
I hate how much I love the Tatcha sunscreen. Idk why I decided to buy a $60 sunscreen. But I can’t go back now. I’ve tried. Nothing compares.
Supergoop has a sunscreen with shades , I prefer their older formulas but the new shades are much better. Game changer
Would love to see a "one and done" video for kids while at summer camps. I know my elementary kids will not be reapplying.
I've had tinted sunscreens stain my clothes. 😖 Be careful putting them on your neck near your collar!
On a radically different note, just found out I have cold urticaria. 🌡️ Be nice to see a Dr. Dray vid on that!
Same! I’ve ruined so many tshirts like this. Def use it on your face and a non-tinted on your neck. But even that can stain the neck of a tee. Ugh lol
ABSOLUTELY LOVE, LOVE, LOVE SUNBUM TINTED MINERAL SUNSCREEN SPF 30!!! HAVE REPURCHASED SEVERAL TIMES!!! PERFECT PRIORITY PRODUCT TO COMPLETE MY ROUTINE!!!
Please tell us what sunscreen you are wearing today. It is perfection!! Your skin looks amazing!!!
I love your reviews, I trust your opinions . Thank you for taking the time educate us on this subject.
I love the Elta MD UV Restore. Great options thanks for sharing ☺️
You say the best sunscreen is the one we’ll wear. If I bought one of those pricier sunscreens I would have an awfully hard time slathering it on.
Always so helpful. I've started using tinted sunscreens and they are game changers.. Hard to find the right fit for yourself. You gotta try a bunch and see what works... Unfortunately.
EltaMD UV Physical is still my favorite face sunscreen but I would like to try the skinceuticals one!
Can you review the Live Tinted mineral sunscreen? Not many products out there with tints that suit the undertones of people of color. This brand does a great job of being inclusive. Would love to get your thoughts on it.
For the Tatcha sunscreen, Sephora has an image stating that it’s 80 min water resistant. I emailed Tatcha, and they confirmed that the sunscreen is water resistant.
That’s why I took the plunge and bought it… I needed a water resistant SPF for hiking etc.
It gave me HORRIBLE rosacea. I really wanted it to work bc I've been using retinols for a yr and need extra protection under my makeup. Boo......
I use Australia Gold tinted mineral SPF 50 on my face, which seems to even out my skin tone a touch, and Walmart brand chemical SPF 50 on my full body since it's cheaper.
I would very much like for you to do a video on skin folds and how to deal with the Candida.
Sunscreen Anecdote:I was surprised yesterday attending a family gathering where my nephews aged 18 and 30 were discussing sunscreen.
Have you ever tried Zeosorb powder? My Mom was quite well endowed and had that problem under her breasts until her doctor suggested she use Zeosorb after every bath or shower…problem resolved. Amazon carries it along with a dupe that contains the same ingredients at a lower price.
She recommends using an acne cleanser with benzoyl peroxide like the one from CeraVe for areas of skinfold.
@@Divinestyler22 Acne cleansers are not anti-fungal. Zeosorb is a powder that contains an anti-fungal and is recommended by doctors for precisely the problem of fungus in skin folds such as under the breasts.
@@JulienArbor Actually there is more than enough evidence on benzoyl peroxides ability to kill yeast, whether it's classified as an antifungal or not is irrelevant. Also, she asked specifically for a video on skinfolds and it has already been addressed in a previous video. The recommendation was an acne wash containing benzoyl peroxide.
@@JulienArbor Also, I wasn't discrediting your suggestion at all. I was simply letting her know skin folds had already been addressed in a previous video and what the suggestion was. Benzoyl peroxide can be irritating so your suggestion is probably also a very good one.
Yesss sunscreen video !! Now with the summer around the corner please do more sunscreen videos thank you 🙏🏻
Oh darn I was hoping you would do a review & give your thoughts on La Roche-posay tinted sunscreen. Great video though👍 will have to try some of the ones you reviewed. I’m olive skin toned so some are too pale but will definitely try them.🙋♀️
Yes, me too. I wonder if she had already done it in an earlier video because she does cover that brand.
Thank you for all you recommendations and I feel confident your a real doctor and so smart . I can’t afford to see a dermatologist constantly for just basic things and your info has helped my teen dealing with starting acne . I have bought him products I seen you talk about for that and it’s helped him and saved me tons of money. Your a blessing and totally beautiful. Keep the great content coming . 😘
I love sunscreen reviews. Idk if it’s weird or not but us chemical burns the crap out of my skin but the mineral ones burn my eyes bad and make them red. Not sure why. Only sunscreen that works for me is the ishean kiss me mommy one that you recommend. I absolutely love it!
I have the skinceuticals one!! It’s nice 👍 Dr. Dray, I’d like to use PGA with the cetaphil salicylic acid moisturizer. Would those be a good pair?
You help me so much, when you speak about spf 🧴, because I live in Israel and both me and my husband go through sunscreens very fast, and we’re always open to try new ones! Every time I order/buy skincare or makeup, I put 2-3 sunscreen products in my basket, here you can never have too much! And I always make lists watching your videos! Thanks a lot!!
Would love a Fitzpatrick scale score alongside these! I am between a 1-2 and I have rosacea so I have to stick to mineral but since I’m so fair I can’t wear most tinted sunscreens 😢
Can you do a deep dive on the stick SPF formulas? Clear and tinted. I've been trying the Neutrogena stick SPF 40 and the Vichy Tinted SPF 50 and they seem so nourishing for us dry skin gals.
She's never been a big sunscreen stick fan (skip areas) but she has recommended Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Mineral Sunscreen Stick and the kids one. I know the neutrogena ones come up again in The Budget Dermatologist's video on Neutrogena sunscreens (she reviews them all).
Cerave! I just purchased the Ceravae Tinted sunscreen & so far I love it. I wear under makeup, it’s not shiny, spreads easily & ceramides & niacinamide.
A new tinted sunscreen by The Route, is the best! The Shake & Shield! It has 12% zinc oxide & I love it. It is very dewy with zero white cast. I have never worn foundation, but my sister used to, & now she just uses Shake & Shield instead. The co founder is my nurse practitioner, since 1999. It can be bought at Ulta, Sephora, HSN, & online & probably other places as well. There is a discount with your 1st order online.
I’m surprised the skinceuticals wasn’t more expensive. Thanks for this video. It’s the perfect time of year-tinted sunscreen instead of makeup melting off in the Texas heat 😊
There is so many EU brands in LATAM now with Tinted Suncreens, I love Bioderma they have 2 lines, also LRP, Eucerin, Isdin, HelioCare and many more 😎
Love Sunscreens! I just reviewed the Peter Thomas Rother Max Clear and Tula Protect and Glow under makeup (they are amazing!!!) and am working on the Sunbum one and Cay Skins new Isle Glow. Definitely have thoughts about both of these especially for makeup wearers. Thanks Doc! 😊
Definitely adding the Australian Gold to the list to try. I will say Sunbums tinted appears to be wonderful for those with a fair-light COOL undertone which is super rare! Most tints lean warm or even orange so to have 1 cool toned option is exciting! 😁
I LOVE the sun bum one but it is very very buttery when applying but it blends out pretty quick and doesn’t feel greasy
For anybody attempting to pursue Blue Light protection, I'd like to stress in this video that she says, *"MAY offer..."*
In other words, there is no guarantee that the tinted sunscreens mentioned in this video will actually yield said protection simply based on the fact that they contain iron oxides. This goes for makeup as well.
Unless these brands have done rigorous testing (which I would guess they have not) to show the tint in their sunscreens offer Blue Light protection, then I wouldn't get my hopes up. Yes, you MAY be getting SOME protection, but don't think you need to run out and buy a tinted sunscreen to incorporate into your routine.
Blue Light protection offered by Iron Oxides highly depends on the type-quality, percentage used, formulation, correct density/amount applied to the skin, as well as the ratio of red, yellow, and black pigments. To my knowledge, Colorscience is one of the few brands out there to demonstrate these results in testing, to actually make the claims that their sunscreens offer Blue Light protection. If anything, I would rely on Avène's new TriAsorB filter over any tinted sunscreen based on iron oxides.
In summary, just choose a sunscreen you enjoy wearing, and reapplying. Don't mix products, don't over-think layering products, and don't fall for the internet buzz or hype around the necessity for Blue Light protection.
and whats the harm in going for blue light protection even if its just potentially?
yes these are quite expensive but the CeraVe tinted spf is not. I just dont feel like its bad to be safer than sorry
Dr. Dray I can’t use any SPF on my face as I am allergic to it. Eyes tear and nose runs. I have Multiple Chemical Sensivity. Any other ideas?
try mineral
@@DrDrayzday what do you mean by mineral? Use what that is mineral?
Thank you for all the advise you give to all of us!
I've never used a tinted sunscreen but they seem like a good option, especially in the Summer, when I'm looking for something less heavy than my regular foundation. Thanks for the reviews! These seem nice. Happy Monday, Dr Dray! I hope you have a lovely evening. 💙
I have a darker skin tone and the Cotz one have been working quite well for the past few weeks. It is shiny and doesn’t really leave a cast to my eyes. The sunscreen needs a few minutes to ~vanish~ and after that the cast isn’t much noticeable. When i apply it a good 20 min. before stepping out the door, i feel comfortable wearing it. The shininess also comes down a little (but i haven’t used it in the middle of the summer yet, so idk about that).
Thank you so incredibly much. I LOVE your sunscreen videos!!
I tried several sunscreens … I have sensitive , reactive and dry skin. My favourite right now is Ultra Viollette’s mineral sunscreen ’ lean screen’. It has a tint, and is supposed to be mattifying but I haven’t found that ( everyone’s skin is different, and reacts differently to different products etc and I have heard that people with oily skin love it too for that reason).
It’s spf 50+ UVA + UVB ( broad spectrum) …. It’s Australian ( like me!), so the spf really is amazing & trustworthy ( I hope that makes sense! UVA is at least 1/3 of the UVB, at least). It’s fragrance free and has minimal ingredients. I have sensitive eyes too and haven’t really had any trouble with stinging.
. I have to say it was strange when I first started using it, my skin became incredibly dry after a few days and then was fine. Not entirely sure if it was the sunscreen or something else. I have a feeling though my skin was just reacting (?) adjusting (?) to a new/different product. Glad I stuck with it one more day! Wouldn’t normally do that! Oh and it has a fantastic blurring effect 😊
thanks for your comment! i have the same skin type as you, but can’t find ultra viollette products in my local shops. are there any other sunscreens that you recommend?
You can feel dr dray’s excitement when she talks about sunscreen
