Dr Ellis I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. So straightforward and to the point! Can you PLEASE do a video on your every skincare makeup and hair routine?💕

[@Wazzaaap]

Really appreciate that the prices were included; thank you! 👍🏼

[@KyongG1970]

Love that you are so professional and pleasant to watch. Beautiful.

[@lunas2551]

I really appreciate how honest your videos are. As someone with eczema and sensitive skin, I appreciate the detail you provide so that I can make the best decision for my skin. Also, you look stunning!

[@rachellepincus9055]

Love this advise. I have similar skin concerns as you mentioned. I tend to stick mineral sunscreen because of my sensitive skin. A sunscreen I have been using lately is supergoop’ s Matte Screen. What I love is the texture of this formula. It is really soft when you apply it and it never irritates my skin. The colors blends in fairly close to my skin tone.

Advice

[@MilaMilosevic]

Such a great video! I love the MyChelle Tinted SPF 50! Really good for oily and acne prone skin and wonderful coverage.

[@adriiteach]

I use the Australian Gold as a makeup foundation for daytime. It's a little drying in the winter, but I use extra moisturizer. Cotz also make a good one that dries matte.

[@nanettemailum1904]

Thank you for this post! I’m oily/combination and acne prone so I go for oil-free types that dry down matte so I’m glad you recommended Elta MD! My holy grail tinted sunscreen is Supergoop’s Matte Screen SPF 40 ❤️

[@kzvegansuperstar]

My HG for my rosacea + very fair skin is the Murad City Skin SPF 50 PA++++! She’s expensive but the only sunscreen that doesn’t turn me orange, doesn’t dry me out throughout the day, and doesn’t irritate my skin

[@lisaawild]

I would love an updated version of this or just daily use Sunscreens for 2022 with only Cruelty Free products. Great video. thanks!

[@youtimeful]

I am a Colorscience original devotee, totally agree it is fabulous. Have you tried the Paula’s Choice tinted sunscreen? I’d love to hear what you think. It is my second best.

[@carolynskowyra5988]

I’m obsessed with Alastin as well! I also use the SkinCeuticals physical fusion and have to say it’s incredibly similar and a slightly lighter shade so might work better for your skin tone.

[@juulee]

The Alastin Hydratint is my holy grail! I never use foundation anymore and reapplies so nicely throughout the day. I love the consistency and nice scent (no stinky sunscreen smell)

[@luciavillarreal8806]

I can't thank you enough for your pointers and medical guidance. You're great!

[@Olga-hy5gk]

I adore the Australian Gold sunscreen as it is perfect primer for my combination skin. I am very fair but this sunscreen used as a primer for any of my make-up does not change the color of my complexion at all. I purchased once the Sisley tinted sunscreen paying 8 times what the Australian Gold BB cream costs. To my surprise the low price BB cream from Australian Gold was better than Sisley’s one.

[@marilynnrobinson2697]

[@amygerges6974]

This is immensely helpful I can tell you love to teach

[@MoeyMoo]

A few more affordable drugstore options for lower income people would be really nice in the future, even just as quick mentions.

[@julieme7927]

Agreed! Even if I could spend these amounts every now and then I'd have to use much less than the recommended amount to make the tube last longer. I think the Cervave tinted SPF30 is good. Sunscreen is expensive but at least the Cerave is cheaper than these ones.

[@jcs1090]

La Roche Posay tinted mineral liquid (but only uses titanium dioxide), CeraVe tinted spf 30, and I love Physicians Formula cc or bb cream (tinted spf 30). If you want to double up for security, try Olay mineral moisturing sunscreen (I love it alone on days I am staying indoors) with the PF bb or cc cream or CeraVe on top. 😎

[@Faithandlove24]

@@jcs1090 Hi there, just wanted to say I have used the Olay mineral sunscreen and I like it alot as well untinted however. It's only spf 30, which Is rather use 40 or 50 since I have a lighter skin tone.

[@nataliechaput9293]

if you are in the US, I’ve seen many great reviews on the Versed Guards Up sunscreen. Unfortunately I can’t get it in Canada, but I have lots of other products from Versed that I love. very affordable 👍🏼

[@MoeyMoo]

Quick update: I ended up getting the Australian Gold Botanical fair to light (I have very pale skin) and for the most part I really do like it as an affordable option. It feels really nice and mouse like, and I was even able to get my boyfriend to wear it daily too! But I will say that it does look still a little too dark and orange on my skin, especially if I need to reapply. It's not too bad though and I really like the matte look, it helps cover up my acne just a tad so it's not as noticeable. I'm considering trying out one of the other ones recommended here but not sure which yet.

[@1827mkm]

EltaMD clear also started pilling on me! The skinceuticals physical fusion tinted is what I use daily now, but it’s thin and does dry matte. My skin is on the drier side so I’m going to try to EltaMD tinted! Thanks for the rec!

[@Juan92x]

Bliss Block Star SPF 30 is amazing ! Not too matte not, too dewy, perfect tint, no white cast. Blends well through facial hair and beard. Only little downside is the smell of lavender oil. But other than that it’s been a game changer for me!

[@readingiscool6865]

I have all of the colorscience sunscreens and I love them!! You can mix or layer and create your own color. I am happy with this brand because I have melasma and I MUST wear sunscreen EVERY DAY. 💜

[@nm-xu2ik]

I like this too. But my dark spots are seen through. Any recommendations? Multiple applications then looks cakey.

[@kristinaleon7338]

Good day Dr Ellis. I have skin similar to yours(as you described). I love tinted sunscreen as I am also low maintenance. I have mature skin(60) and have used Elta Md broad spectrum 46 and SkinCeuticals physical fusion 50. I purchased today Supergoop mineral sheer screen 30 at the sales clerks suggestion that it is completely natural product. Is supergoop an appropriate product for mature skin(also 30?). How does it compare to SC and Elta MD?for mature skin. Thank you very much

[@m.i.2223]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the Colorescience FLEX. What a game changer for tinted sunscreens! The coverage is amazing and no further foundation is needed. Glad you mentioned it here and I highly recommend it!

[@AlwaysSummer22]

Agreed. Looooove this sunscreen

[@laurajones4457]

Any advice on which shade to choose? I’m debating between fair or medium. I am fair skinned but I’m not extremely pale.

[@m.i.2223]

@@laurajones4457 I am of Filipino descent and am using medium - which is working very well for me. If you're fair skinned, I would suggest going with fair. Good luck!

[@agomes6455]

Do you need to wear moisturiser under the Flex or is it moisturising too? Thanks

[@m.i.2223]

I apply moisturizer as well, wait a couple minutes to absorb then sunscreen… to avoid pilling

[@bnb0510]

Alastin hydratint is sooo good! I agree that it could be a little lighter in color for me also. I love all of their products! I want to try the Colorscience next.

[@223pippy]

Thanks for the recs! What sunscreen are you wearing in the video? You look amazing!

[@heatherwalter9403]

My Dermatologist just recommend the alastin for me and while I like that it doesn’t transfer color like the cerave does, it’s still too light on my skin. I really wish there were more options for deeper/ warmer skin tones. Maybe the botanical one will work better for me during these Florida summer months..

[@sharonthibault8153]

I use the Australian Gold. I have both tints and use them at same time, mixed, to get the right shade for my skin.

[@lisamarie5764]

CS Flex is my #1 I have medium and tan and often mix the 2. I even mix the Bronze in as well. I’m combo oily and 41 and I haven’t worn foundation since discovering these. They protect my skin and give me a healthy finish.

[@melissabridge5687]

I now wear the Colorescince Flex Spf 50 in the shade Fair. It has replaced my Elta Md suv Elements tint sunscreen spf 44. The Elta md was a little dark for my very fair skin but I love it still. FYI the colorescience flex works well with adding Nars Light reflecting Foundation and creamy concealer, if you need a little more coverage.There is no pilling. ❤❤❤

[@yvettesuburban6397]

Drugstore: Cerave tinted sunscreen is definitely more dewy/ oilier so I use in winter. Australian gold is “heavier”more for summer for me since it can be drying for people with dry skin, but I am more combo/oily. I love the Australian Gold!

The fact that I'm 46 years old, have suffered from hyperpigmentation my whole life, and am just finding out about the need for Iron Oxide in my sunscreen for the first time this week makes me want to apologize to my teenage self for all of the lingering spots that could have been avoided. lol Thanks to you and Dr. Alexis Stephens for enlightening me via KZbin. I had always heard that tinted mineral sunscreens were better for POC, but never received and explanation as to why until I found you both. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Also, I'm a HUGE fan of the EltaMD UV Clear and just received the Colorscience sunscreen the other day and can't wait to try it. I also use the Biossance sunscreen and mix in a bit of the Bare Minerals for Color Corrector (for the iron oxide) and that has been great as well. All of the "deeper toned" ;-) people should try it.

[@saritallano]

I LOVE the Sisley SUPER STICK SOLAIRE SPF 50+ TEINTÉ. Amazing for 40 year old dry combination skin. Looks beautiful. A bit dark in color, but looks awesome on my olive skin tone. It's a one and done, no need for makeup. Does not get into fine lines, makes your skin looks great. So happy I found this. I don't like to wear much makeup, and am trying to use sunscreen daily. I HIGHLY recommend. Worth the investment if you are sort of lazy about sunscreen and don't want to do heavy makeup everyday. Covers all my sunspots, imperfections, beautiful.

Love my Australian Gold tinted sunscreen. My skin is on the lighter side, but definitely has some warm undertones and I am a bit more on the oily side, so this sunscreen is perfect for me! I used to avoid facial sunscreens because so many felt greasy, as though they were about to slide off of my face. Not anymore! Goes on so smooth and creamy, dries matte and does no pill up on my face. Love it ! 💛

[@charlieb2b]

@@tanyukheng1828 Go with the medium-tan. If you have orangey skin tone. I’m on the fair-light side and the fair light Australian tinted sunscreen works really good. For example I tried the Colorescience Matte version and it’s too orangey for me

@@charlieb2b tq so much. btw, did fair-light actually provide any colour or coverage? Or it just blends out to be translucent?

[@latheredup533]

@@tanyukheng1828 I find that the tinted Australian Gold gives light to medium coverage. I use a light dusting of translucent mineral finishing powder to set it too, so I suppose that helps contribute to a "medium" coverage look.

I love the Elta MD Restore - total holy grail for me - and also Dr. Sam’s (another Dr. Sam) Gossamer Tint. Both are so elegant, and get the job done. Good coverage but not too crazy. Excited to try some Colorescience screens, so thanks for those recos!

Just ordered Colorscience FLEX in Fair and Medium since I am a mix of two shades. I often have to do this with other products also. Dermstore had a great 25% off sale and also got a FREE full sized Colorscience Matte product value $42. Also free shipping so overall great deal! Based on reviews I think I will love FLEX since I have mature skin, dry-ish, sun damage, spots, melasma, discoloration, etc so I need all the harmful rays blocked but need the coverage too.

[@TennisObsessed]

I have to mix the fair and medium also! But it ends up the perfect shade and love that it's not too oily or irritating.

[@clim9742]

I use the Australian Gold BB cream. I love it, but I'm concerned about the fact that it only has 4% ZO and 4% TD. That seems rather low for SPF 50 and makes me wonder if I'm getting adequate UVA protection. Typically in an all -mineral sunscreen, I usually don't see less than 15% total of active ingredients. What do you think, Dr. Sam?

[@amandaalonso711]

Question here! I don’t wear foundation so I just apply sunscreen several times a day. I want to know , if I wear a tinted sunscreen and reapply several times a day am I just going to get darker each time? I’ve been using the Biossance mineral sunscreen for over a year and it does leave a white cast but I just put up with it. I have the same skin type as you (may also have rosacea) and fairly similar skin tone if this helps. I stick to the Biossance because I love that it gives me a glow and never dries down matte. Sometimes my face gets so dry that patches get flaky and itchy which is why it’s hard for me to find a good mineral sunscreen.

I have used most of these mentioned here and always end up going back to the Australian Gold Tinted. I have combo skin and the "fair to light" is the only one I feel really protects my skin under the HOT & HUMID Florida sun (Miami). The others tend to leave a greasy feel to my skin, and I have to reapply more often, and as you mentioned the AG does not transfer, which is awesome.

I jumped the gun when I listened to this segment earlier and ordered the NEOVA Silc Sheer.

[@AnaVilla25]

[@bananaslug1293]

I'm sadly returning La Roche Posay's tinted sunscreen today (even though i've been buying it forever:( It layers on perfectly, matches my skin tone and doesn't break me out. Unfortunately I just found out that unlike its original (not the tinted mineral version), it relies only on Titanium Dioxide, so there's no Zinc Oxide to provide the Broadband spectrum protection (so you're left unprotected from the UVA rays). I'm so disappointed that it's something I missed - Dr. Dray has a video about it! Especially for the price point - it is 1.7 oz compared to the other mineral tinted sunscreens that not only properly protect you but have antioxidants and include great active ingredients such as niacinamide.

[@ingridadum3578]

Does it keep your face moisturized ?

[@daphnebailey6223]

I love that product as well ! I’m mixed race and it does leave a tent, but it does not bother me. I love it. Personally, a white cast never bothers me because I know the benefits of mineral sunscreens. I love them. As long as I apply my colored SPF cc cream on top everything is good.

I swear by Elta MD clear sunscreen both the tinted and non tinted one. I have oily acne prone Asian skin. It doesn’t clog my pores and even noticed improvement in my skin texture and acne scars. I only use this in the am and Cerave night moisturizer at night other than cleanser and my acne cleared up. Definitely worth the price.

Hi Dr. Ellis, I also like the EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum (SPF 46), but it is a hybrid sunscreen. There is research showing that chemical sunscreens can stay in the bloodstream for 30 days. Should I be concerned? Should I switch to a physical sunscreen? Thanks!
