Dr. Sugai Compares: Tinted vs Non-Tinted La Roche-Posay Anthelios 50 Sunscreen

[@1TimeTrvlr]

Thank you so much for discussing the potential piling and staining masks, clothes, etc! Those are important points most sunscreen reviews don’t talk about. Keep up the amazing content, doc!

[@danielsugaimd]

Thank you so much for saying that! I try to give each product several weeks of use before making a video and these are the little things I notice and good to hear that it’s helpful! Take care and thanks for watching, my friend 🙏🏼🤙🙏🏼🤙

[@coachtash]

Thank you for this video. I started using the tinted sunscreen just over a month ago and my forehead has almost no dark spots left. I love love love this sunscreen that’s why I wanted to learn more about it. I’m grateful I can learn from your work. Thank you again!!

I'm pale AF so the nontinted white cast is the perfect tint for me 😃 I've literally used cornstarch as a setting powder before and it worked 😩😩

[@accountgooglenonvisibile]

Love be pallid

[@danajetton4704]

It is a Universal tint! I thought it was crazy dark when I saw it. And I Am extremely fair. But it worked amazing and totally blurred my skin, I don't wear regular makeup ever.

[@buuveibuuvei795]

I’ve decided to buy tinted version 😅 thank you it was very helpful 😊

[@ZLanes-h2l]

My dermatologist recommended the tinted sunscreen. I take medications and one of them gave me a side effect of light sensitivity which later, it causes my skin to turn red because of sun explosion and blue light from TV, phones, and lights which now it lead to pigmentation. Now I will be on tinted sunscreen for more protection. Thank you for the video. GREAT information to find out!

[@GiselleMarieXIII]

I purchased the La Roche-Posay 50 SPF Tinted Mineral at Target (San Antonio, TX) because of a prior video in which you discussed several sunscreens. I have been getting tons of age spots and the sun is intense in the Southwest. I do like the tinted on you more than the other.

[@Zapharus]

The only thing is that the white cast with mineral sunscreens is more noticeable when exposed to sunlight, it gives me a ghost face look. So maybe show what they look like out in the sun too.

[@lisasugai6742]

This is super helpful! I didn’t even think about blue light. Thank you!!

[@danielsugaimd]

Good to hear you learned about blue light! Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🤙🤙

[@lucyeloisa7165]

Thank you for comparing. I use the tinted one but I was wondering about the non tinted. Like how you explain the video.

[@bensipe8539]

Since the tinted one only has titanium dioxide, should we be concerned about broad spectrum coverage?

[@JigglyPuff777]

I as well wish He would have responded to that question ⁉️

[@_sarcasmiss2141]

Been using this for 3 years now. I absolutely love it and have it on stock

[@Celea484]

I got the tinted version yesterday here in England. Price is £19,90. It is great. And it has both titanium dioxide and Iron oxide. Love it

[@Priya2Verma99]

I am from Mumbai, where the climate is hot and humid, and I also have oily skin. However, after watching your videos, I began using littllextra riceberry sunscreen and it has been amazing on my skin. I have recently joined swimming and my skin tends to tan quickly (I am a dark-skinned person). I apply this sunscreen before swimming and my skin hasn't tanned at all. It protects my skin from the chlorine water so well, and I am surprised by the results. I have been using this daily for a month now and I really like it. Thank you so much for these wonderful videos and your thorough research.

[@sst6802]

Tinted one suits your skin tone better

[@Masdo2012]

Dr Sugai you should make a skin type video, I don't know my exact tone and undertone and I think that I'm not the only one.

[@danielsugaimd]

Meli de O. That’s a great idea! Thanks for watching! 🤙🙏🏼🤙🙏🏼

[@galato4234]

Do you think titanium only is enough to protect us from UVA and UVB? What about zinc? thank you dr.

[@ulyssespayne5122]

My experience with tinted sunscreens is that they stain washcloths, towels, white shirts, etc.

[@danielsugaimd]

Ulysses Payne thanks for sharing your experience with tinted sunscreen and thx for watching 🤙🙏🏼

[@dannamadura3751]

Sunscreens with iron oxide stain like crazy and are difficult to wash off. Japanese sunscreens and titanium-zinc only sunscreens don't stain which is why I like them. Some chemical sunscreens stain as well (one I recently used was the Altruist).

[@jasminateodorovic1248]

Did you find the tinted to be any “heavier “ than the non tinted? This non tinted is the ONLY sunscreen I have found that my sensitive, oily skin tolerates and has a cast that I can deal with. I tried another tinted brand but hated how you could see the tint on my mask, so I am glad you mentioned that happened with this one as well.

[@danielsugaimd]

Diana Johnson great question- I feel like it comes out as a thin liquid as well like its non tinted counterpart but it definitely can collect into thick tinted clumps when my face is dry that becomes very noticeable. The mask tint is real and thank you for appreciating that part. Thanks for watching, friend! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🤙🤙

[@friendlytester6861]

I prefer the look of the tinted as an African-American but titanium dioxide only is a dealbreaker for me 😩

[@chilenapromedioRU]

Amazing how it works on different types of skins. I use the "invisible" (non tinted) one and it doesn't leave a single white layer on my face, it's very comfy for my face. I use a different type from same brand for the rest of my body and that one is kind of oily and do leave some kind of white layer. It's sad for me the fact that I can't wear the tinted one, on my face it looks ridiculous, like I was trying some kind of light "black face". Not cool at all. It makes me sad because I struggle with melasma. I had several samples but I honestly look ridiculous. I gave those samples to my mum, who doesn't have melasma fortunately, but she's also fair skinned and she felt ridiculous too. Like she was putting on a very fake tan. I wish the "invisible" one had the same protection against the factors that causes melasma than the tinted one. What are we, faired skinned people supposed to do? I cannot quit contraception pills because of endometriosis. I'm from a third world country, I'm not even "white" in US terms, yet I'm very fair skinned because my skin is super sensitive. Neither my brother nor me were ever able to tan, we always got blisters and fever if we didn't cover ourselves on sunscreen. I use it all year.

[@northernlights6984]

[@MusiicIsLiife]

Any concerns with the fact that the tinted sunscreen is missing zinc? I know titanium dioxide doesn't provide UVA1 protection (only UVAII and UVB). Do the other ingredients (like the iron oxide you mentioned) make up for that?

[@onlyme1245]

This is what I'm concerned about! I'm not getting no info.

[@Becky-wl5yw]

[@jumpinggakflash2313]

I wish they had more tint varieties. I'm super fair with pink undertones and I think that tint would make me look jaundiced. Lol.

[@bunni0873]

Can you mix these together without risk of compromising the effectiveness of the uv protective ingredients?

[@naykemontgomery60]

Same question!

[@ej1692]

A popular dermatologist on KZbin claims that in order to protect yourelf from visible light, you need a specific type of zinc oxide - that is pretty difficult to find in most sunscreens because it is cosmeticaly difficult to apply - and also, iron oxide which is found in tinted sunscreens. Conversely, I have watched other dermatologists, such as yourself, that claim an iron oxide is plenty to protect against visible light. Which is it? There is a ton of conflicting information on the internet about it.

[@fangjie]

Isn't titanium dioxide an inferior UV filter that does not cover the full spectrum of aging rays of UVA1 and UVA2? I think the non-tinted product with zinc is better in terms of UV protection

[@danielsugaimd]

FJ yes- uva1 and 2 are covered better by zinc. But non tinted does not have iron oxide (no visible light coverage) and thus there’s a trade off for anti-aging purposes. But in regards to uva protection, probably could say that there is a theoretical benefit of using zinc for skin cancer prevention purposes since UVA can induce dna damage (more so with UVB). Thanks for the comment. 🙏🏼🤙

[@fangjie]

@@danielsugaimd love that you respond to every comment. May I request a review of purito comfy water sun block spf 50? Would also really enjoy more scientific commentary in your reviews eg. Bioavailability of antioxidants in suncreen.

[@Shani03314]

@@danielsugaimd Is the tinted one make up or is it a moisturizer? For example, do I need to use make up remover and then cleanse with the tinted one? Can you sleep with the tinted one on? Usually I avoid foundation & powder because my skin is sensitive to make up. I also have an olive skin tone so I’d like to avoid a white cast that makes my face color look different than my neck.

[@lolav310]

I love LaRochePosay, but also having sun allergy I cannot use the sunscreen from this branche (sun allergy protector). To white, block pores, too much heavy, sticky,shinny very uncomfortable. I appreciate your information as Dr. Thank you.

I don’t usually used tinted sunscreen but love this tinted one. I have very stubborn melasma and this helps to mask it. I did read that titanium dioxide does not protect against uva rays as well as zinc oxide? Is that true? Does that mean the tinted sunscreen is worse since it only has titanium dioxide? I love the product but if it’s not protecting against the sun as well then that’s not helpful! Thank you! I really enjoy your videos!!

Sadly that's why u stopped using it, titanium dioxide isn't the strongest for uva 1 , it blocks some but it's still very weak compare to zinc!!

[@HSdirectioner5]

I was wondering the same exact thing

[@teeheetehe9218]

people typically do not apply the correct amount of sunscreen needed for adequate protection, so a second layer is recommended by Dr. Ray here on youtube.She says to apply one layer than wait 5 mins to reapply again and from there just reapply for the rest day. You only need to apply two layers when you wake up and later in your day when you NEED to reapply sunscreen you just need one layer.
