La Roche-Posay UVMune 400 Oil Control Sunscreens Review | Actually Oil Controlling?

[@liamartas]

Great review as always! La Roche Posay has replied on insta that the fluid has a PPD of 55.8 and the gel-cream has a PPD of 39.5😊

Amazing, thank you so much for replying!

[@tammylam2907]

[@amyamy8177]

[@liamartas]

@@amyamy8177 I believe the fluid is around 46 and the cream is around 35, don’t remember the exact numbers

[@amelie4363]

Another tip I've just discovered is using the 2020 Anessa Perfect Milk, which is almost too drying and mattifying on me, in a thin layer to mattify sunscreens that are a bit too shiny. Oh and also Innisfree No-Sebum Powder is the best in case anyone else is interested in a powder to take down shine. I guess I'm just sharing these tips in the hope that they might help someone who struggles with shiny suncreens!

[@queenofstitcheswarrior2668]

I also use a powder on top on my very oily t-zone. With It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores loose translucent setting powder I can make every sunscreen work:). P20 kids even

[@tenerife_sea]

​@@queenofstitcheswarrior2668 I'm a guy and don't wear make up, so I don't understand the make up world. So from your comment I assume setting powders make every sunscreen matte? Or is it just the specific brand that you mentioned? I get super oily during the day, and was wondering if this would help me.

[@XxxMuseluverxxX]

Yes, setting powders make you more matte. It’s pretty much a powder you dust over your face using a brush, a beauty blender or a makeup sponge.

[@yulian7435]

I have extrremely oily skin (greasy skin 5h after using a foam cleanser and no moisturizer), and one technique that made a BIG difference to the finish of this sunscreen is to : - use around 4 pumps on my fingertips and rub each hands fingertips together (5 fingertips of each hands together) -then pat lightly the sunscreen with my 10 fingertips on the face to have little dots everywhere on the face. Key is to use light pressure. -then I can rub it in effortlessly, but not only that, it somehow looks way more even and "matter" than when I used to just rub it on my face. The finish went to overly dewy and congestionned feeling (face feeling hot), to a natural finish with a lightweight feel on the face (it feels like wearing nothing on face although I apply the correct amount of sunscreen 4 to 5 pumps). The oil control part is true imo because although there's a slight pleasant shine, the true greasy sebum like texture appears way later in the day. I used to hate this sunscreen because of how a pain in the A it was to spread for a dewy finish, but changing from rubbing to patting first made a huge difference to how pleasant it is to use now.

[@amelie4363]

I haven’t tried the Oil Control Fluid, but the original UVMune Fluid is very shiny and too greasy on my skin. By contrast the Oil Control Gel Cream absorbs super well - honestly one of the best I’ve ever tried and it’s also the most matte European chemical sunscreen I’ve ever used. On me it is subtly glowy but pretty dry touch and it doesn’t budge. No yellow cast on my fair skin either.

[@helenalovelock1030]

Which one do you mean ? The one in the tube ?

[@amelie4363]

@@helenalovelock1030 I like the one in the tube! I will say that's the finish with no skincare underneath, or 1 layer of toner max. It's definitely more glowy if you add more skincare, so my top tip to reduce shine is to really really reduce skincare under sunscreens.

LRP Anthelios Dermo Pediatrics was matte,non-pilling but it has been discontinued. The UVMune fluid is shiny AF and I bought a lot when it came out😜. The Eucerin Sensitive Protect Dry Touch 200 ml is matte but it pills a tad bit on reapplication. They released a 200 ml Eucerin Oil Control this year but I haven't tried that yet. I'm trying Vichy Capital Soleil Mattifying now,I might get the UVMune Oil Control Fluid. The old version of Anthelios Oil Control gel cream pilled like crazy on me and the new one looks similar. For a really matte finish, Biore UV Kids Milk is super matte but only PA+++. The least shiny chemical sunscreen I have tried is Round Lab Birch Juice Sunscreen.

[@fnnygrndm]

It is def not matte LOL but it's less greasy than the regular UV Mune. Anecdotally people have said this has helped against their pigmentation way more than Eucerin oil control, so if someone is dealing with pigmentary disorders I would still suggest the UV Mune, set with some powder :). That boosted UVA1 protection makes a huge difference.

[@geryg2023]

Great video!Eucerin oil control is my favotite sunscreen ,but you made me curious.I will be trying these😊

[@lapharmacie98]

How do these compare to the Eucerin oil control spf 50? That one is by far my favorite bc it has such a lightweight texture, doesn't pill whatsoever and is the only one that keeps me somewhat matte (my skin is really really freaking oily) Edit: you mentioned it at the end of the video, thanks for saving me some cash lol

[@charliewang2u]

I learned a trick to achieve a mate finish after sunscreen. Use a tissue paper gently tab after 5-10 mins of applying sunscreen. Magic

[@jani7th]

I am using the oil control gel version, just bc it is fragrance free a I have rosacea. I like that it doesn't sting my eyes, but it is hard to spread due to its thick consistency and it does not have a dry finish, more on the glowy side, but it is not an issue for me. I do wish the fluid version would be fragrance free....I would go for that one right away. I am from the Czech republic, Prague...so whatever is available here might not be the same for the States (when it comes to ingredient list).

[@JNWG79]

I’m so bummed about the fragrance in the fluid. I’ve been using the creme and really like it but was so hopeful that I would really love the fluid. I will never understand the addition of fragrance in a sunscreen. Everyone can wear a fragrance free sunscreen but many can’t or won’t wear a fragranced product so it seems silly to limit the reach of your product by adding something that is literally unnecessary to the performance of the product.

[@mirzacosovic7524]

This is like double face palm for LRP… Even after reformulation they cannot make matte sunscreen, but continuing to advertise it like such XD

[@universe25.x]

True. So annoying

[@rafaeltorres3121]

I'm also annoyed by the fact that it has fragrance too.

[@tanhql]

I think it may be impossible for anyone to make a sunscreen with high UVA protection, but yet is also matte and black-skin friendly, since you'll definitely need to sacrifice one out of the three factors. Sunscreens with high protection will be oily since the filters are mostly oils or dissolve in oil, but too much mattifying ingredients will also add white cast to the sunscreen as well.

Try the Kaine Green Fit Pro Sunscreen. For my oily skin in hot Asian summer, it has good oil-control power and is sweat-resistant. It wears beautifully under makeup too. And of course with most Korean sunscreens, the texture is wonderful to use.

I don’t understand why it isn’t available in fragrance free in general for the fluid in oil control, and in fragrance free and tinted for fair cool toned skin. I’m allergic to fragrance. No one wants fragrance in facial sunscreen. Or in body either for me. Some people like it for body but definitely not for face it caused terrible eye sting for most too.

[@chriscalandro6964]

Agreed 100% with your review in all aspects. The uvmune oil control fluid made me look like the Tin Man from Oz and smell like grandma (I’m male, and a Fitzpatrick II) and the gel cream is better but still not very matte. I still use the Eucerin oil control for the face on weekdays at the office as it still is the only one that looks like I’m wearing nothing, but wear the UVmune gel-cream for weekends out in the sun for the extra protection. During the week, I also use the uvmune 400 gel cream on my neck and ears as the little bit of extra shine looks good there and I like the extra uva1 protection.

[@realTLC]

So my skin is both dry AND acne prone. I like the gel cream quite a lot and feel that this sunscreen is made for someone like me. I don't think it's as sweat proof as it claims tho, which i noticed during a steep hike up a mountain. That's my only complaint so far.

Living in hot, humid tropical Southeast Asia weather - the ‘mattifying gel-cream’ feel sticky, chalky, difficult to blend in. Feels & smells like rubbing in white wooden glue onto skin. Makes oily skin sweating. Too tacky for a man who need simple skincare. Eucerin Oil Control still the best so far 👍🏼

[@capitalbad1528]

I have tried several sun screens for oily skin and find the best one is the Eucerin Oil Control (no fragrance btw). I wouldn't call it matte, but it doesn't add much extra shine and looks quite natural on me. With the La Roche Posay Gel Creme I had a lot of pilling (with or without products underneath). Also, it gave me a kind of silverish cast, which is weird, because my skin is very white.

[@godsrunnerup]

Gives mine a yellowish one upon 2-3 hours of wear, which is when I reapply, anyway. The pilling happens if you don't give the products underneath time to set. If I do/if I skip moisturizer altogether, it doesn't pill for me

[@morgianasartre6709]

Yes, I love the big version of it too for the summer, it's not matt but my face just has a natural finish and I don't feel it on the skin at all even after 5 reapplications on a hot summer day. The new eucerin sun allergy spf 50 150ml is also super great (even a bit better I'd say, a nice light fluid texture that comes closer to a matt finish).

[@shiningyoonie]

Yeah the Eucerin Oil Control creme is one of the few European sunscreens I can use that don't irritate my skin or are a pain to apply or leave a greasy film on my skin.

@@pb7591 I have given up on UV Mune. At first only occasionally someone would say, "Why is there yellow makeup all over your face?" I could only see it in certain lighting situations. Then I really started to notice it. My new HG is Ultra Sun FACE which also contains the Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate but leaves me like fish belly white thing that I am. If they can make it invisible, why can't LRP? I also have started to use other products like Altruist and Garnier Ambre Solaire, even though they are body SPFs I freaking love putting these on my face. They only contain Tinosorb S and Avobenzone I think for UVA protection, but that's enough for me. Also I am gonna be trying the LRP Shaka Derma Pediatrics. No 400 in that. Looks pretty similar to the OG, but dang it contains shea butter, which doesn't always work on me.

These formulations seem quite interesting to me. I am Canadian though and for some reason, La Roche Posay here still hasn't released a sunscreen with Mexoryl400.

The face fluid also comes in a 125mL "body" size in case if somebody might be interested. La Roche Posay Canada ships internationally I believe.

Ramón, I bought the gel-cream, and it does subtly mattify my nose for like 4 hours. I only use this on the nose with either no or very little moisturizer under. Other parts of my face are drier so I use other SPF there. Of course, I am not impressed with 4 hours, but at the same time things can get too matte as well. I tried "Etude House Sunprise Airy Finish Sun Milk SPF 50+" (a Korean SPF I think), which is super light but settled into such a matte powdery finish that it emphasized fine lines and just got... chalky. Considering that I am a madman who applies different sunscreens on parts of my face, I think the gel-cream gets a shy thumbs up from me. Not least because of the filter. With regular application, I know I have done what I can to protect against UV damage.

The only one I can get to be remotely matte is the Anthelios XL. I only use small amounts too. My skin is just weird though, My skin just looks like it's greasy, even when it's dry to touch. I've been on accutane too which reduced my oils but made no difference to how my skin looks.

If you have acne prone skin you should try the Hyséac fluid SPF 50+ from Uriage

[@cathyjohnson9464]

I thought the gel crème was terrible. My skin tone is lighter than yours (around MAC NC 20) and it left me looking pasty. I found it hard to spread and I could see the white build up on my eyebrows and hairline. I felt like I was putting paste on my face. It did have a dry touch feel though.

I LOVEEE YOUR EARRINGS

[@fancy_lette]

Can you try the caudalie sunscreen?

[@rayaleary]

The Vinosun SPF50+? That was my previous go-to! I'm acne-prone, sensitive and dry with compensatory oiliness (combination) and it was the only SPF50 I had used that didn't break me out, but I did get unflatteringly shiny after a few hours. I've moved on to the Beauty of Joseon Rice sunscreen, it's slightly less luminous but stays that way :)

[@TamunoAbbey]

I prefer the fluid to the cream 😆

[@cinderell5414]

Please be aware the uv protection on this product is ACTUALLY LOWER than what it states

How so

[@lemonstealer2902]

I think they would be great for normal skin, not oily lol

[@Fentysired]

As someone with normal/balanced skin, the oil controlling cream didn’t really dry me out so I wasn’t expecting them to be that mat lamoaoaa

[@MrMark28]

I use their SPF 100…. I like shinny! Think I’ll give them a try some day tho :)

[@sfex9]

The spf 100 label is a fraud. In EU it should be illegal to advertise a product like that bc it tricks consumers. I don't exactly remember if it's already illegal or it should be so, there was a huge controversy a few years ago but I've forgotten the details.

[@heidih3048]

Why do you rub the sunscreen in so hard, to the point that you are pulling and tugging your skin with the force of the rubbing?

Because it doesn’t rub in easy. Not by choice, but the sunscreen itself

[@heidih3048]

@ I don't understand what you mean exactly. I have tried both of these sunscreens, but I still don't understand what you mean by it not rubbin in easily. Like is it sticking? I found that the fluid seemed to dry on my skin as I was putting it on, making it hard to rub in in because it was drying too quickly. The hydrating cream seemed more normal and easy to apply to me.
