BATTLE OF THE SUNSCREENS: ELTAMD vs DRMTLGY

[@banannaco6]

Maybe for the next sunscreen wars you can also use UV camera and compare how each sunscreen holds up after wearing it for couple of hours.

[@crochetallday43]

I would like to see a sunscreen wars on drugstore brands like Neutrogena vs CeraVe. It would be helpful for those on a budget!

Picking the right sunscreen is literally always the hardest thing for me every summer Because I don’t want to damage the environment but I also want protection so I definitely needed this 🙏🏽

[@tugboatcaptainCC]

I struggle with this too. The youtuber Lab Muffin is a good resource for the science behind sunscreen. In short, it's fine. Personally, I decided to use the sunscreen I need and sacrifice somethings I don't need to reduce my environmental impact.

Preach! I live in FL too so I also need water resistant bc I’m a water lover in summer.

Can you guys share a little about the differences between the tinted Elta MD sunscreens like the UV Clear tinted, UV Daily, UV Physical, UV Restore, etc.?

[@cassieford08]

I use The daily formulation and love it. I tried the clear and it irritated my skin. Turns out it has lactic acid - an AHA - a chemical exfoliant that I typically only use 1x a week at most.

[@integragirl98]

I have sensitive skin with hormonal acne on my chin. I use the Elta MD Clear non-tinted and it works wonders!

[@chw1134]

[@Missfoxtooyou]

Love to see a comparison between Sheseido stick sunscreen vs another Stick sunscreen. I love the Sheseido one, it goes on clear.

[@littlemissmel88]

I'm always on the lookout for a mineral sunscreen that doesn't burn my eyes, doesn't leave me whiter than I already am and is water resistant. I'm a sweaty person, especially in the summer so that is super important. My main concern with some of these tinted sunscreens is they leave me looking like I don't know how to match my foundation color to my face. It's definitely not easy!

[@maryellenottman4308]

I agree that the tinted sunscreens usually don't match my skin.

[@susanmcf1]

I recently switched from DRMTLGY to Elta MD and I really love it. I have spent a fortune on skincare, but not on sunscreen. Now I'm commited to better sunscreen. For me, Elta MD is worth the price.

[@donohoe0]

Why do you like the Elta MD better?

[@susanmcf1]

@@donohoe0 I was using the DERMTLGY mineral and I felt greasy when I wore it. It was messy.

[@donnafrei8062]

I switched to Drmtlgy from Elta because, to me, it's thinner & lighter in color

[@MarkSmithhhh]

I hate sunscreen so much but it's probably the most important part of skincare routine....so for me, it's worth paying more for something more comfortable

[@lalahere]

I’ve been using EltaMD tinted sunscreen every day since 2010, when I turned 50. It does have a shiny/dewey finish, which I HATE, so I use a pressed finishing powder (No7 or Bare Minerals) over it. Not only does it knocks down the shine but it gives me enough coverage that the combination works great as a natural looking foundation! Even if I’m shooting a video, it’s still the combination I use, I just might go a little heavier on the powder or use a darker shade, for more coverage. It feels so much nicer than wearing actual foundation. I’m just realizing now at 62, I should have been putting the EltaMD on my ears too.

[@marthadiazsantella3709]

I am LOVING these series!!!!! I am a sunscreen sucker, I own both and love both EltaMD and Drmtlg. I really enjoy your content, love from Colombia 🇨🇴

[@jenniferjsaracino]

I need a body sunscreen that feels like a moisturizer but doesn’t live a white cast on my tattoos! I’ve been defaulting to face sunscreens because they don’t leave you feeling sticky or grease but it’s really expensive to use then on the body!

[@lovemunchiable]

Kroger has a sunscreen that’s like an oil spray moisturizer other wise I like the Neutrogena spray on sun screens

[@karenwalker8682]

i like the eucerin daily hydration spf 30 for the body on low sun exposure days. banana boat light as air is good for more sun exposure because it’s spf 50 and water resistant.

[@reneeburich9497]

The Banana Boat Light as Air 50+ is good. Weightless, water resistant for 80 minutes, absorbs quickly.

[@lorrainebonilla8052]

I love love a glow so Dr. Shaw won 🤣👏👏👏👍🏻🙋‍♀️♥️

[@WiseFamin]

I second this! As someone with super oily skin (that gets oily even under mattifying sunscreens and foundations), I'm always looking for a sunscreen that is moisturizing without leaving me "dewy."

[@sonjaforrester9255]

I prefer more matte but need moisture and that's impossible. My dry skin just has to deal with shine.

[@1LORENAMONGE]

I use the tinted Australian Gold. Super affordable and so comfortable, some say it may get a little dry by the end of the day but I use it over serums and moisturizer and never had any dryness on my combination skin. Can’t beat $14 for a product with a decent ingredient list.

[@lizroberts1569]

I’m kind of 50/50 with the Australian Gold sometimes it feels ok offer times it just sits there and is horrible

[@1LORENAMONGE]

@@lizroberts1569 i wish I could say that it may just be that yáll have a different taste but I’m also disappointed in the las tube I bought. I’m wondering if they changed the formula or it’s different between shades. I got the shade darker than my usual and it feels very heavy.

Thanks for the review. For me the Drmtlgy one is best because I have extremely dry skin. This sits beautifully under my foundation so much so that I don't have to use a primer.

[@PrivateNotes]

It is the best for drier skin, I am now 70 and Drmtlgy is the very best I have found, and I have tried many!

[@adamant5eva]

I’ve been using the DRMTLGY tinted moisturizer for years and I love it! I’ll agree that it can be messy since it gets on the inside of my mask throughout the day, but a pump or two is enough to cover my whole face and provide coverage for all day without getting in my eyes like regular sunscreen!!

[@catherinecosta8477]

The two brands I wanted to see! What a great video

[@1deadducks]

Great topic! I agree that the Elta md clear would have been the better comparison. It use to be my absolute favorite. Then DRMTLGY came along at a better price point and I switched. The only difference I could see was the Elta MD had a more beige color and the DRMTLGY has a more pink color which works better for me too. Both are great! Thanks for the video. Love you guys.

[@Pinkhair332]

I have used both elta & drmtlg. I like both. But both are shiny. I dont know why they dont have matte option 😢🤔 even the phydical which drmtlgy claimed is matte, its still shiny…. Sad

[@laurawatson1733]

Thank you for this series! I was excited to see the comparison of my two favorite brands side by side, but unfortunately it was not my two favorites. I'd love to see Elta MD UV Elements 44 v DRMTLGY Physical Tinted 44. Both are physical tinted sunscreens offering same SPF. I'm guessing it will come down to a similar conclusion, that it really comes down to preference but since I don't recall hearing about these on your channel and they are my favorites- I would love to see them do a Doctorly battle!! On a side note, I was surprised that the con you mentioned for tinted sunscreens as being messy- the hardest part for me is the lack of good shade range. My favorite Elta MD is too dark for me in winter- which brings me to my question... Is it safe to mix tinted sunscreen with anything to get a better shade match?

[@kevinmurphy7138]

Hi Doctors Kindly do review about Altruist Dermatologist Anti Redness and Pigmentation SPF50 Tinted Face Cream, as my wife got confused which best for her chemical or mineral sunscreen as she has sensitive skin as might worsen her melasma.

If you like a matte SS the tinted Australian Gold is *chef's kiss*!

[@lemonlime1920]

As long as you don’t have dry or sensitive skin, I agree. It’s inexpensive and once it dries down, will not get on anything else and is not tacky. I developed seborrheic dermatitis and can no longer use Australian Gold. It aggravates the SD.
