I tried the coolest Japanese sunscreen ever recently. It's the Biore Aqua Protect Lotion - it comes out as a water with encapsulated filters, that melt into a milk texture on your skin and then fully sets down (budge-proof) within a couple of minutes. The finish is natural (aka one of the least shiny sunscreens I've tried) and not-sticky. Definitely no white cast and perfect for sunscreen haters. Plus it's affordable too (and the packaging is gorgeous).

Surfer here, so i have tried all the water resistant sun creams, in Australia you have so many and not too expensive, but here (Spain, Europe) you don´t have such a huge choice. My favourite is the Sports BB by Shiseido (liquid and make up looking like in a grey packaging), it´s heavy and very drying (as all of the really resistant formulas are) but it looks good and stays on even after a few hours in the water...definitely my favourite! (you obviously have to do a proper double cleanse...)

if the sunscreen is from anessa or shiseido’s sun care line, the water resistance is off the charts of their “flagship” sunscreen. There has been many reviews tested how hard to wash them off. It is hardest among many sunscreen. Much better than La Roche Posay even if their latest version uses a new technique to spread filters more evenly and densely on skin. For anessa or shiseido’s sun care line, short exposure to water will increase the spf rating since the sunscreen film has find to be even more evenly distributed on the skin. It also boosts it spf rating if you surround is very hot. Although La Roche Posay’s UVA protection is better, but anessa or shiseido’s sun care line stay evenly distributed more and stay on better than even than one of the best.

@LabMuffinBeautyScience 2 жыл бұрын

Do you know what the details of the water resistance test were? I've seen 40 minutes on their website, but it doesn't say what the SPF was after 40 min (100% of the SPF like US/AU, 50% like the EU...). As someone from Australia where SPF 50+ after a 4 hour water test is a standard claim, I don't know if I would consider 40 min off the charts 😅 It is lovely on the skin though!

@AaronFigFront 2 жыл бұрын

Sorry for the late reply, didn’t check for a few days. No idea on their (shiseido) internal test. But there are plenty of individual Chinese skincare reviewers studios that do reviews on sunscreen. One make videos on them taking many sunscreen after soaking them in water for 2 hours and use a UV meter to measure how much more % of UV is passed through. Since I don't know their UV light source (what spectrums are included), neither what spectrum the measuring meter can detect, I will just have to trust them in combination of the large amount comments under reviewers video. Although they did measure 2g of sunscreen using a finger glove for every sunscreens, so that at least helps with some margin of error. Some others reviews just tape on grids on the reviewers’ backs and try on different sunscreens under the sun for a few hours. There are many other reviews like that, even though that is not a good test. Also questionable ethics, but that is off topic. But you can still see in general which sunscreen are more consist in protection. There are also face cleanser test on those sunscreen, and they are of the ones that are hardest to wash off. Anessa's and La Roche Posay seem to have the most comments on survive not having being tanned after the week long Chinese military training. Even though these are anecdotal evidences, but when there are a lot of them, it is trustworthy. Basing on their sunscreen formulas (from what those reviewers have said, like how the the sunscreen film forms), these two seem like safe bets.

I’d love to hear your recommendations for children’s sunscreens. My kids hate being plastered in the stuff, what do you suggest? Oh and your channel is brilliant!

The Isntree HA Watery Sun Gel is my Holy Grail. The Beauty of Joseon is a really close second.

I want to try it, but I have oily skin and I feel like when I apply 1 teaspoon of this it might stay oily on my skin. What’s your experience?

@@Esandeech2 in my opinion, this is definitely very hydrating and thus dry skin friendly. I feel like this wouldn’t sit well on oily skin. The Beauty of Joseon sunscreen isn’t as hylauronic acid-y and thus less shiny/dewy and settles nicely into skin with glow, but smooth skin. I do have to say that I have dry skin, so I cannot tell you how they are on oily skin. 🤗

I use that one too and I love it. It works great on me. It's perfect for anyone that wants a hydrating and lightweight high SPF.

I must watch more of your sunscreen stuff - I’m heading to Florida end of August, with my sensitive skinned husband and our eight year old daughter who’s autistic and hates greasy textures on her face/neck! I’m oily with blocked pore tendencies too!

Be careful of the heat and humidity with these sorts of lighter sunscreens - I don't think they fare too well with sweat! I'd definitely recommend looking into sun protective clothing and hats for your daughter, might be a bit more tolerable for her 😊

Michelle my favorite Korean water resistant spf is the Isa Knox UV Sun Pro Fluid. It has a more lightweight texture than the innisfree.

My favorite one is by Roundlab, do you know it? is called the birch juice moisturizing sun cream spf50+ PA+++++. I've tried all the ones you mentioned in the video except fot the Mary one. The thing is I have supersensitive eyes for sunscreen (also mineral..), very acne prone skin that burns easily. Ive tried probably over a 100 different brands and formulas and this is the first one I actually enjoy using (after the purito one, because then the drama came out 😭). Would love to hear your opinion on a more scientific level!

I always chuckle at the coral reef safety logo buying only locally sold sunscreen in Germany

I recently bought the Isntree one on a whim. My skin tingles a bit from it and it stings my eyes after a few hours, but it's ok

Could you please recommend a sunscreen with matte finish? I love your videos, very informative! Thank you so much!❤

Love these shorts. I’ve been every single one of these “types of people”. If I were to add any, it would be the one who gets to work and has to write herself a note of encouragement before even logging on. The note reads, “You can do this! It’s only 9 hours”. Then, before the system is even up - and despite my note-to-self - fantasizing about killing myself in that moment, just because (in that moment) I’d rather be dead than be THERE.

Hi, Michelle! I would love to know your thoughts about Dr. Shereene Idriss' video on hyaluronic acid. She has quite the bone to pick with the way brands tend to gloss over the difference between the HA found in the body and the stuff we tend to see in ingredient lists, such as sodium hyaluronate.

@LabMuffinBeautyScience 2 жыл бұрын

I haven't seen it, but there are a lot of HA myths around going both ways! I should really do a video on it...
