UV cameras mainly should be used to test how good your application is not how good the formulation is. Due to the stark difference in color the UV camera allows for it makes it easier to see if you actually fully covered areas like near your lips, the corners of your nose, your ocular region, near the edges of your hairline etc
Yes, that is how I use mine. I generally miss a tiny piece of skin on the inside corners of my eyes. Bugger. Or it skips over a hollow or wrinkle or whatever.
I was honestly thinking of buying one BECAUSE of the reapplication moment… hoping it would show if I missed any spots when I’m out and about and the reapplication is kinda haphazard 😬 but if it’s more of a gimmick imma save my coin
I agree that content creators shouldn't push the idea that these cameras can compare the UV protection offered by different sunscreens, but thankfully I've only seen that a few times. I don't think most consumers use them that way. If you know you're using a good sunscreen (tested) and that you use enough of it (measured), these can provide a helpful visual to ensure that you apply it everywhere that it needs to go. I know mine does a good job showing missed spots and areas of wear, even though SPF 50 looks the same as SPF 30.
Thank you 4 clarifying that. I didn't know it was only to check coverage. I thought the darker the sunscreen the better the protection. That should be clarified in the videos of these influencers.
Ok.. “all it does is tell you there’s stuff on your face that protects you from UV” but that’s exactly what a physical sunscreen is…and does…right? It’s a physical barrier. I.e if you can’t see your face through it on a UV camera…it’s working. Is it strictly necessary is debatable, but I don’t think people need to stop buying them 😅
UV cameras work as intended, just not efficient to measure the effectiveness of sunscreen, but still let's you see which spots are shielded and which arent plus, you can do some neat photography things with a uv camera. I'll turn my old Canon 1200D full spectrum when I get a different one like a Rebel T5 maybe
UV cameras cannot determine whether a sunscreen is adequately protective, but it can determine if a sunscreen is insufficiently protective. Junk sunscreens can't even meet certain bands, let alone poor film-forming properties.
I have a couple of UV "mirrors". One I got on Amazon and one was from the Sunscreenr company, which seems to have disappeared. I check myself to make sure I have not missed any area. I usually miss around the inner or outer eye, and sometimes a little miss under my nose. It's very helpful. But I also use it at other times. Like after some sweaty exercise, and I'm happy to report that I still see my UVMUNE 400 under the beads of sweat on my chin. I also just used it the other day to test some other sunscreens, which are now in the trash. I don't know what wavelength it's throwing at me, but I do trust that UVMUNE above all others. No sunscreen: white as a sheet. Sunscreen: black as night.
How can you stand to apply sunscreen near the inner eye corner? For me it ALWAYS gets in the eyes after a few hours and they start burning and watering.
@@crystalclear7512 I use La Roche Posay UV MUNE 400 which NEVER migrates into my eyes. EVY well, it does and bothers me for a while. Even if I accidentally get the UVMUNE IN MY EYE, it is uncomfortable for like ONE minute, then it goes away! UVMUNE, it does make me a little yellow, thanks to Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, but I trust that SPF so much that I have about 30 bottles of it in my cabinet!
I want one, but not to test scientific efficacy or anything like that, it’s just that I find it hard to tell if I have applied enough or where there are spots left untouched. Even if it’s not very accurate. Somewhat accurate will do for me.
If a sunscrean cream brand was just like a moisturizing cream on the uv camera and was white; not black that other brand showes; does it means that its fake sunscrean and has no protection?
I think there's a misunderstanding. What you're saying is true, that it doesn't account for how "well" your product will serve you...but that's not the point of it...what you're saying is like saying "this GPS will help you get from point A to point B, but it's a gimmick because it doesn't measure the efficacy of how good the drive will be, and how much gas your car will take. So GPS is not it."
The point I take is that it makes white skin look like black skin which is better for dealing with UV light. I wonder what an already dark skinned person looks like under the UV before and after applying sunscreen….prolly not much of a difference.

Hmmm…a lot of people use it to test coverage only. You can read a lot of proper research by real scientists (n not just aestheticians), suggesting that it is a highly reliable tools. Hope this is not a ‘gimmick video’ to encourage people to rely solely on that sun stick
💫 the point some of the videos are exposing a conspiracy, if you're putting melanin on your skin It proves a slew of other things about black people and their skin how We most likely all started off with dark skin, etc!! ❤️✌🏾✌🏽✌🏼✨
No. Cameras don't emit UV light. They're definitely a useful tool to see if you've missed a spot. Sure it doesn't test quantitatively, so difficult to use it to compare sunscreens, but definitely useful to see if you missed a spot and definitely better than nothing

you actually can see how good the formulation is too, try it with korean suncream. Korean suncream usually not Anti uv as good as westerner brand
dear lord and i am an asian. My choice with moisture is asian brand but sun cream is westerner more specific is Cancer council from australia
You can not, actually
but why does it shows few sunscreen darker then other sunscreens?
I think of these as merely to show if you’ve missed spots when applying, that’s it
I was honestly thinking of buying one BECAUSE of the reapplication moment… hoping it would show if I missed any spots when I’m out and about and the reapplication is kinda haphazard 😬 but if it’s more of a gimmick imma save my coin
yes , especially when you found the skin was different colors after a whole day go outside
I want it bc i wanna look at my coverage
This should be reported for misinformation 😅
I patiently waiting why till the very end. But I heard no facts, just believe me I’m telling you. Can I kindly ask why?
Dude it's not to test if you're wearing factor 30 or 50 but to check for skip areas how could you miss the point of that
EYE am aware of that dude. Others? Not so much
You need to include in your video as well that it is focused on showing physical product coverage
doesn't seem like you're aware from your most recent comment. I get the feeling you're not an expert @

Where did you buy it from the uv camera please

What if it shows that the protection is uneven? Does that count?

As I always put on too much sunscreen 😅 and still get worried if I smeared everywhere, it's good for me to be able to see that I smeared everywhere.😁
It also helps you to know if the product is really working or if has zinc oxyde
Not the ghost detectors 🤣👻🤣👻
If a sunscrean cream brand was just like a moisturizing cream on the uv camera and was white; not black that other brand showes; does it means that its fake sunscrean and has no protection?
strongly disagree.
Why so
It’s not a disagree/agree situation, it’s a scientific one
Same. He doesn't seem to understand why people are actually buying this.
Can u pls talk about sun cushions pls like roundlab has 1 to reapply sunscreen. Pls
Please try the Pavise sunscreen

I mean.... UV camera shows there's a coverage. Have yet to see anything display a ghost. Cute video though.
yay science!

You can’t fool the sun that you’re “Black” with those sunscreen lotions 🤣

I’ll take it
I dont even wear sunscreen everyday 🤭 as I dont always go out ..
Every dermatologist have videos on why you should wear it even indoors
@@mashamitchell9574 that's bull. Who gonna pay for all that expensive sunscreen 🙄
😳 thanks for the information
Wouldn’t those cameras expose you to more UV than if you were to simply…not use them?? Idk. Why add extra exposure is the question for me
I also think like that.
No. Cameras don't emit UV light. They're definitely a useful tool to see if you've missed a spot. Sure it doesn't test quantitatively, so difficult to use it to compare sunscreens, but definitely useful to see if you missed a spot and definitely better than nothing
Why would the camera emit uv light? Do regular camera emit visible light when we use them?
Bro repent.. become a man again..
I can't tell if this is a transgender man or not.
Life is a mystery 👀🤭
Just say it. PAVISE.
