[@durrainbarrett538]

Dr. Lim, you and Dr.Dray are two of my favorite people on KZbin.Thanks for all the great information you provide regarding skincare, especially for those of us who come from cultures where sun protection was not discussed at all during our childhood years. I'm South Asian and never ever used sunscreen until I started listening to you and Dr. Dray. Now I don't leave home without it and already see some improvement in my skin tone.

[@komatsusakura]

yup . same here

[@bstr-ey6wl]

the food related vídeos by Dr Dray are frightening. She is anorexic, and she promotes her illness.

[@jsong3393]

My Derm-PA gave me loads of samples of Laroche-Posay and CeraVe. Both seem to work fine. I am a Botox/Dysport, Retina--A user in So Florida, over 60, very olive complected. I will continue dermatological procedures for as long as they work. ❤️ Love watching you, Dr Davin Lim.

Thanks. Great Dermatologist in Florida is Dr Jeremy Green. DL

So glad to see the sunscreen topic. I have survived ovarian cancer twice, and during the first bout the medical resident told me skin cancer patients are the most difficult to treat as skin cancers are so invasive. The cause of ovarian cancer is unknown--but knowing sunscreen guards against skin cancer--I'll take that any day! Especially in the Colorado sun. Thank you!

[@SteppingStonevlogs]

I am so glad you have pointed out that above SPF 30 it doesn't make a lot of difference. Many people are ignorant of this!

[@Divya736]

I for one had NO idea!

[@dyathinkhesaurus]

Lauren Maslin hi Lauren, just wondering if you could enlighten me on this. Surely when you burn, that is a form of damage to your skin (this causing ageing), regardless of the protection percentage (93,97,98 etc). I feel like people who only focus on the protection percentage ignore that burning is actually damaging and an agent of ageing in itself? This is from an uneducated about skincare pov, purely a common sense one. I know i love the beach, and i need a higher spf. Here in Australia, i don't think higher spf costs more than lower spf anyway, esp spf 30-60.

[@saumyojitdas4212]

@@drdavinlim if my sunscreen does not have zinc oxide or titanium dioxide what does that mean ? Does it mean it is not sweat proof? I have 2 sunscreen . In one sunscreen I have avobenzone and in another I have titanium dioxide .

[@cathycawley6097]

Finally - someone that discusses sunscreen for people that actually go outside! I'm so tired of watching "what goes well under makeup"... Beach, bike riding, hiking, swimming - those are the sunscreens I want to know about! Thanks Doc

[@cv7958]

Most sunscreens in the drugstore are heavy duty sun protective products that can be used at the beach, hiking etc. The focus is on cosmetically elegant sunscreens because they are much harder to find and formulate.

[@gerlierose1586]

Love this video.My favorite sunscreen here in philippines is neutrogena..Quite Expensive but i super love it .Super light on the skin,not sticky and i love the smell.

[@kellymarie7660]

[@drdavinlim]

Welcome. Davin Lim

[@Fee-Fee]

Great info! My hubby has dark skin and had a skin burn on his arm. It was peeling and he asked me what was happening to his arm. I told him that he has to wear sunscreen. He has been a faithful user of sunscreen for about 12 yrs now. It's so important that we all use it.

[@debrajarnagin9865]

It is wonderful that you let us know more expensive does not mean better. I really did not know..

[@drdavinlim]

[@alexandragrace8164]

My favourite sunscreen is the invisible zinc from Ego Sunsense. Thanks for this fascinating and informative video!

[@-Jin999-]

Don't you feel Ego Sensense products have an overly strong scent?

[@ciaobella47]

I've been using Biore UV Aqua Creamy Gel (and a few other Japanese sunscreens). I still shop around because I'd like less alcohol in my sunscreen. However, I still fall back to this mainly because it sinks in beautifully and doesn't pill up under makeup. I can't feel it at all once absorbed and, like you mention, that makes me most likely to wear it in a daily basis. Big plus- it costs me only around $10/month.

[@dalmatinka1032]

ciaobella47 Do you buy it online?

[@deesims3552]

Love this guy. Good solid advice from a professional. Thanks doc!

[@maugwhai1]

tyvm Dr. Lim didn't know correct spf and how it covered in time. Also now know correct properties of uva. Hope you and your daughter are back to health soon. Happy Mother's day to the moms in your life(mom,mother-in-law,nanas etc) :)

[@drdavinlim]

Thanks ... DL

[@rainbowwarrior5282]

La Roche-Posay has alcohol in it, isn’t it bad for your skin. Does it strip the moisture in skin and worsen pigmentation in the long run?

[@laceygabrielle4313]

Please recommend moisturizer for oily/dehydrated/acne prone skin please???

[@sweettaterpie7009]

Thank you for this information. I was trained in modeling school, at the age of 15 or so to NEVER-NEVER expose your face to the sun. I am 75 and have hardly any wrinkles. Back in the day, when I went to the beach, I used Max Factor Pancake make up very heavy on my face and neck. (Now i use something with zinc oxide and a large beam hat). So young ladies/men/Etc. DO NOT GO INTO THE SUN WITHOUT A SUNSCREEN-SUN BLOCK-HAT ETC! Worse than wrinkles, you can get skin cancer. I know a lady who had a tiny skin cancer spot on her nose and turned out to have to remove half of her nose/several reconstruction surgeries later and not a good result!

[@drdavinlim]

Well said, cheers, Davin Lim

[@LuluBowenTarot]

I use a lot of La Roche Posay products. Love them, I use the retinol night cream and the daily moisturiser with Sunscreen. Love it, also fortunate, way more reasonably priced in France. The daily moisturiser doubles as a tinted coverage so I don't use foundation at all. Nice and light which is great for older skin not looking over made up or powdery.

[@drdavinlim]

+1 my personal product choice.. even though I don't like to endorse. Davin Lim, BRISbANE SKIN dermatologist.

[@TheFitchhung]

I tell people all the time to use Sunscreen and they are still out baking and tanning and tell me you are so white! You need a tan! I naturally have an olive skin tone. There is no such thing as a healthy tan. A tan is skin damage! People still don't listen and judge me for not being dark. I am happy with my skin and it looks great compared to those who baked in the sun. The sun is not your friend!

[@jeromejoz5935]

its funny how people in asia prefer to be white and caucasians prefer to be darker hahahhaha

[@mariapersaud9685]

Sweetheart, sunscreen does not stop you from tanning.

[@mariapersaud9685]

I wish people would actually do research and ask their dermatologist questions before commenting ignorant shit like this lol. Sunscreen can't completely stop melanin production. You will still Tan. But it will prevent sun burn.

[@mariapersaud9685]

@Green Soul!! definitely agree

[@boysenberry8540]

Tans = damaged skin and that is ugly , especially when older and equals wrinkles and age spots. Not so attractive. healthy skin is beautiful

[@kimzorza1543]

it is also important that people use the correct "amount" of sunscreen..... such as a half a teaspoon for the face and neck??? etc.... thanks for the great info about uva protection!! I don't tolerate a chemical sunscreen, it burns my eyes and irritates my skin so I now use a mineral/physical only sunscreen and found a great one!! Australian god botanicals tinted face sunscreen!!!! love this stuff!!

[@ronigrant]

My fave right now is EltaMD all-mineral sunscreen. Labeled SPF 46 here in the US. It doesn't cause breakouts and doesn't irritate

[@anaavalos8003]

My go-to sunscreen is the Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50 Universal Tint by SkinCeuticals. Living in AZ, I can get a bit sweaty and a bit oily in the summer, so I will often use the matte version in the summer. GREAT product, and I use it on nearly all my patients as well!

[@drdavinlim]

Thanks for sharing, Dr Davin Lim, Brisbane Dermatologist. Australia.

[@Beauty_Is_Free]

I found La Roche Posay at a STEAL at Marshalls here in the states. I bought every bottle I could find. I bought the 45 face and the 50 body. I can use them interchangably. They def. are the "cosmetically pleasing" sunscreens I have been hunting for all my adult life. THANK YOU for recommending the product in a previous video. I do still have to have Casper the ghost face at the beach/pool, but I'm totally ok w/ that. SUPER excited I found something I can wear under every single makeup foundation I have tried the La Roche under. YOU ROCK! This is the only brand that doesn't make my face irritated. So over the moon happy. :)

[@drdavinlim]

Thanks so much for sharing.. cool, DL Brisbane Dermatologist.

[@debrucey]

In Europe the UVA rating of a sunscreen is required to be at least one third of the SPF rating. In other words if you opt for an SPF30 European sunscreen, you’re only guaranteed a UVA-PF of 10. It might be more of course, and some products do specify the uva rating separately, but most don’t. This is why I only use SPF50+. It’s excessive in terms of UVB but I feel more confident about the UVA protection which as you stress in this video is just as important.

All of these work fairly well as a makeup base. I buy the formulations available in Germany, and the price difference between different SPF factors is negligible or non-existent. For the body, I will use any old drugstore brand.

[@rakik9684]

Body shop factor 50 for face - as an everyday city block under make up - has a bit of a smell but isn’t irritating me, but will try la Roche... Shisedo 50 - for face on holiday. I used to use the bare minerals pressed powder make up with spf on top of shisedo for good stay put make up coverage and to mattify but this product is now different and I haven’t tried its successor. Bare minerals 30 loose powder spf with the medium coverage - to finish off / mattify my make up or over the shisedo product on bare skin. Empty half the product into a clean stiffer and use the stick with inbuilt brush and carry in my bag for on the go to touch up make up and coverage when it’s actually sunny in the UK or on holiday (as you can’t wash the inbuilt brush). Quick and easy to top up spf in the brush form. PitzBuin factor 30 body oil. Rubs in really quickly no horrible white smears. Slight chemical smell but fades fast and I use it in the morning like a body oil so I don’t forget to cover up and it’s easy to top up. I have Asian skin and get sun- glowy in the face (my gorgeous friend that I travelled to Cuba with just didn’t - so annoying) which can be sensitive and tend to burn, hence the high protection and why I have the make-up with spf to keep it going. I also used some heavy duty steroid creams for excema on my face as a child so try to be more conscious now. ... my tan lasts for months rather than weeks regardless of the product.

[@hamitifr]

Tried a few sunscreens over the years but my favorite is La Roche Posay Anthelios XL SPF 50, use it daily since I first discovered it 6 months ago ;) So light, unscented and gives a nice healthy sheen to the skin which I personally love!

hi Doctor, so your favorite sunscreen he's French "la Roche-posay" very good choice 😁 me during summer I became a vampire because all my tattoos, I avoid the sun for the well-being of my tattoos, it's quite difficult because I live by the sea but I manage to avoid the sun. And I also see the devastation of the sun on people, their skin become stained and wrinkled due to sun addiction very scary. Guys protect your skin from the sun It is the best way to keep a beautiful skin in good health😊

[@tumtum3086]

Decided to follow u coz honest review n unlike others influencers u try ur best reply to ur fans!😉cheers!

[@MrRareChocobo]

Tnx for the video! My choice is LRP SEROZINC and after it i apply ANTHELIOS XL gel-creme SPF 50+ for everyday use, even in winters. It helps my extra-oily skin to feel more comfortable (also i started to apply retin-a gel 1% every night after i've watched Dr. Lim video about retinoids, it's greatly help me to control oilness of my skin and much better help to exfoliate my skin comparing AHA, BHA and even LRP LHA acids, and as a result my acne become really rare proplem for me now; unfortunatelly the scars is the last thing that bother me, after 3 lasers and subcision treatment (with also PRP and Melsman) i've seen a very good result, it's about 60-70%, but completely remove it for today is impossible, and rolling scars is really hard to treat...so i'm just waiting for the bright future with scarless wound healing).

[@arielleXback]

Yup Canada used to be a bit behind with sunscreen, but got better these days.. I'm a sunscreen freak applied all over even in winter or cloudy weather as far as I know as long as you can see in the day light sunny or not still have to use sunscreen, love the LRP, shiseido, Sofina Primavista, Lamer and the list go on.. funny how cetaphil is made in Canada but I couldn't find the sunscreen here but just their spf daily moisturizer. Thanks for another great review video :)

Thanks for this. I have been fighting with my sunscreen over my serums and under my foundation for weeks and finding an 'cosmetically elegant' sunscreen that I don't have to wait 20 minutes to dry down so my foundation or primer doesn't pill and rub off is sooooo frustrating!!!! I barely get 5 hours sleep as it is. I need those extra 20 minutes! 😫❤️

For all the swimmers and surfers out there some sunscreens have encapsulated sun blocking molecules that penetrate deeper into the skin. It is long wearing and waterproof. I think the brand is Daylong.

[@ulyanaheward6956]

Love your videos! Recently stumbled on your channel and cannot stop binge watching. As a former sun worshiper, i have had to make myself get used to using sunscreen as I am now 40. Most of those in the drugstores are pretty horrid - burn eyes, white cast and just terrible under makeup. I have done a long and in-depth research on sunscreens and basically like in Australia, we in the US are just as behind Europe and Asia when it comes to sunscreen because our beloved (cough) FDA considers sunscreen a drug and not a cosmetic product like they do in Europe, so it is very hard and takes many years to get anything g new approved ;(( I have read about and tested quite a few and found some amazing sunscreens, most of which are either Korean or Japanese. They have chemical sunscreens with very stable ingredients (not like avobenzone used in the US :/) which are very elegant, and they have a PA rating system for UVA protection. Here are my favorites: Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Gel sunscreen SPF 50+ PA ++++ (the highest on the Japanese scale) Etude House Sunprise Mild Water light SPF 50+ PA +++ Australian Gold Botanical SPF 50 tinted face lotion- no PA rating but it’s 100% mineral and is beautiful, not thick and disappears on the skin. All these are amazing under foundation, do not sting eyes, dry down within 20 min or less and do not irritate skin at all. They are also pretty cheap, especially if you look on Ebay, Yesstyle and Amazon.

[@elainet6450]

In cosmetics and personal care products, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane is used in the formulation of sun protection products, as well as bath, skin, cleansing, hair, nail and fragrance products. In the United States, when this ingredient is used in sun protection products, it will be listed on the label as Avobenzone.

[@Barkingspider]

Lasers and Lifts by Dr Davin Lim lol Doc it's expensive in the States. Minimum $36 for a bottle.

[@JaneMinty]

Margy Slater Although we can get La Roche Anthelios sunscreens with FDA-approved formulas in the States, I order mine from a couple of French Pharmacy sites (or stock up when I visit) because I like the EU products. I don't know about Australia, but the shipping might not be as much as you think. Two sites I like are Lasante.net and Soin et Nature. Be careful though because you may end up buying far more than sunscreen!

It was claimed by the company Helioplex provide a long lasting and more stable protection against UVA/UVB. Thank you

[@thingamabobby]

The tinted version of the La Roche Posay Anthelios XL 50+ is the bomb if you want some light coverage as well. Leaves an awesome glow, not sticky and has the UVA/UVB coverage, though I think they've remarketed it as a BB cream now. Can't speak for the new formula.

[@drdavinlim]

[@charleecharles9812]

I wear two sunscreens when I am out and about during the day. First, I put on a chemical sunscreen, Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer Face SPF 50+. Then a physical one over the top. Right now I am using the Neutrogena Sheer Zinc SPF 50. I then put a foundation 1-2 shades darker than my skin to balance out the whiteness of the zinc.

[@mikeb2546]

I have been using Blue Lizard Face and Blue Lizard Sport for body. For years. Get it from the company or better drug stores. It is really reasonably priced. Walmart has a form of Blue Lizard with chemicals and cheaper fillers, the real stuff is very basic zinc, titanium, hyaluronic acid and a few other things. The Walmart Blue Lizard Line is not the same. Walgreens on line is the same as ordering from Blue Lizard. There are hospital pharmacies in places like New Mexico where the sun is taxing, and they (like Lovelace Hospital) will only carry Blue Lizard. Not due to price or profit. Due to purity. You won't see ads and marketing for their product, but its been around and pushed by doctors for a long time. All those Octobenzenes, Octocrylenes, Avobenzenes, Helioplex, etc, degrade in 2 hours and let reactive oxygen species free radicals into the dermis. They also will be banned this year in Hawai'i, because they kill reef and sea life. Titanium and Zinc. Forget about cosmetically elegant. Were a big hat and cover up. I've only had a burn once in my life but have been sun exposed through windows in buses for up to 6 hours plus a day. Even if you are brown and do not burn it does not mean you are not going to get a skin cancer a decade later from incidental exposure, and if you are white, you better be covered. My very brown father lost his nose to skin cancer at age 60, and he never went in the sun, just drove to work, and he smoked, which makes it easier to get every cancer known to mankind. You can always buy a tinted BB cream made from zinc and titanium as a base....or mix it with a bit of bronzer gel. Use titanium and zinc, and use environmentally and skin healthy brands.

[@emilyhou4016]

I've been using the Blue Lizard sunscreen for a while. It does give me a bit of white sheen and greasiness as most Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide sunscreens have those, but a little setting powder can bring them down. It feels comfortable and not drying on the skin. It's really affordable, too! I think it is actually an Australian brand, has Dr. Lim ever heard of it before?

Hello, I am fair skinned, light coloured eyes , my skin burns very easily, I've had ms for 17+ years so I hate the heat and if I can avoid going out I will, I have BCC on my eyelid, which was removed once, but has come back, in my other eye I have a choroidial nevus which is checked every 10 weeks, surgeons have told me to apply a high factor to my skin, especially my eyelids, so my question is would a children's sunscreen be more suitable? Because I have awful allergies and fear my eyes puffing up like a puffer fish. And ( sorry) as Aussies make the best sun protection everything, any sunglasses you particularly like best? Oakley? Ray ban? Don't know any others, regards sue

I don't give a stuff about how it looks...in the seventies when I was working at pony trekking centres I used coloured zinc sun block all over the place and like I keep telling everyone that is why I am sixty and have no wrinkles! Total sun avoidance!

[@MissBollywood4eva]

Isn't it concerning that La Rochey-Posay suncreen has denatured alcohol very high up in the ingredients list as that is very bad for people with skin of colour 😟

Should you stick to factor 30 for your whole holiday (7-10 days) or go down to a factor 15 when you “tan” starts to develop ? Many thanks

Friday night Phoenix time! Thank you for the info. Anyone remember Zinca? Hot pink Zinca,!

[@drdavinlim]

Must be a US thingy... Cheers, Dr Davin Lim, Brisbane Dermatologist, Australia.

Zincka is colored zinc oxide. Popular in the 80's.

[@Desert1969]

Yes! 🙂

Are there particular brands that are more "cosmetically elegant"? I don't currently own any sunscreens so I don't want to spend a lot of money "experimenting". I'm not an outdoors type person. I'm outside because I'm going to my vehicle to go to work, the store, church, etc.. Thank you in advance for your assistance!!

Elta 45 is my favorite... no breakouts...

[@angellau9738]

Thanks for the info on SPF...Now I will go for SPF 30 will do...

[@howva]

I use Paulas Choice Mineral Sunscreen which is rated an SPF 15 Aus and an SPF 30 in the US. It does leave a white cast and I am of Indian desent but I dont really mind it it sorta absorbs in and I believe the white cast goes away for the most part. I tried using the cetaphil sunscreen and it just really irritated my skin but I don't have any problems with the mineral sunscreens. Living in Aus as serious as our skin cancer issue is people still don't understand or really use sunscreen on daily basis sometimes I think telling people the sun gives you wrinkles makes them more likely to use sunscreen haha

Hi howva - Have you tried Paula's Choice Resist Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 30? It is a moisturiser but I use it as a sunscreen. It has a tint which gets rid of the white cast. It uses zinc oxide (at 13% I believe) which I have found is great for my sensitive skin.

[@howva]

Fiona Howatson thanks! I'll give it ago next time

[@Nagolobo2023]

I love your videos, thanks doctor for sharing your knowledge with us. I have been using Photoderm M50 by Bioderma. Not sure 🤔 if it has UVA protection, I will be more attentive next time I go shopping for sunscreen. 🙏🙏

[@donatellabacsa9240]

Personal experience, spf30 I still burn in no time, spf50 whole day out in the sun, and my skin wouldn’t even start to tan.. so it does matter a lot.

[@donatellabacsa9240]

Oh, I’m white like snow.

[@drfidahrahim]

Hi @ Dr Davin Lim, Many Japanese and Korean beauty brands have came up with sunscreens that are watery and targeted for users in warm and humid climate. Are they watered down products, how much product do we need for these kind of consistency? I really like how light they are and the ease of use but I am not sure if they are just diluted products and if they give enough protection? -> Biore, Anessa, Innisfree etc. Would you like to share with us your thoughts on this? :D
