[@AvioftheSand]

Thank you for doing the work for us, Dr. Alexis. I'm Indian, and it's hard finding a good mineral sunscreen. I love SuperGoop's Unseen Sunscreen, but that is a chemical one. I want a good cast free mineral one since it's preferable for those of us concerned with getting rid of acne scarring. I'll give the ColorScience a try.

WARNING to those who are about to buy the Colorescience (deep) based on this video. Try a sample or in store first if you can! My disappointment is unreal! I'm so grateful for this channel and Dr Alexis for trying out sunscreens for us but it had me looking like a ghost! She says she's NW45 in mac, I've also been matched NW45 in the past (haven't we all) but am actually more of an NC50. 420 in Fenty 5N2 in Estee. I will say it definitely doesn't look as bad on camera as it does in real life so maybe that's part of why it looks like it works for Dr Stephens. I also watched Danielle's review(Styleandbeautydoctor) and thought it didn't look terrible so I thought it would be fine on me as her skin is deeper than mine. The level of protection would have been perfect, SPF 50, demi-matte/non oily, visible light protection, water resistant but it literally feels like a paste and takes so much rubbing in to try to get it to blend (which it never does).

[@pinqfriday2490]

same happened to me. i also feel as tho it was too warm for my skin, just a damn mess lmao

[@ang3956]

So messy it is

[@QUEEN-cn4ln]

Omg literally… the deep was ok for me but like you said a paste like texture which looks like a heavy base on me…just SIGH I rather just do a dewy look than a cake batter look.

[@larasunshine7]

You are one of the most informative dermatologists on pigmentation (i have melasma) that I've ever seen on youtube. I would love love love to see a dermatologist such as yourself talk about chemical sunscreens for people with photosensitive issues. There are now many chemical sunscreens that use newer less irritating filters including ones that block visible light. There are many of us who keep hearing about how mineral sunscreens are better for people like us but I think this is incorrect. Some of the best sunscreen filters against short and long-wave UVA are chemical (or organic). Could a tinted chemical sunscreen work just as well? I myself generally tolerate chemical sunscreens. I'm sure I"m not the only one.

[@pilotjones9866]

I actually found zinc/titanium based sunscreen to be irritating on my face with someone who has hyperhidrosis. I’ve read the film inorganic sunscreens make on your skin, slows down the rate of evaporation of sweat, which cools you down. Every time I use them my face gets really hot, as if there’s little needles poking me, lol. I opt for European sunscreens, at baseline their uva filters offer greater protection than zinc, and never had issues for my skin.

[@meme0180]

@ Pilot Jones, Which ones do you use?

[@lorettayoung3088]

Good for you. Are you obese?

[@SSNUTHIN]

This actually happens to me when I am applying some foundations but goes away when it sets, I wonder if it's the same phenomenon? I just keep a fan on me while applying, but now you've got me wondering if it's some kind of reaction.

[@pilotjones9866]

@@SSNUTHIN hmm yea, I’d see if it’s just that one foundation. Maybe it’s a certain ingredient, or your foundation has zinc in it? I do know that for zinc, the film that prevents sweat evaporation is what causes the heat/needling poking and irritation. But everyone’s skin is different.

[@linzeeb4]

That makes sense! Inorganic sunscreens tend to be more irritating to me, too. I guess for opposite reasons though, I find them to be too astringent as someone with dry/sensitive skin. When I'm not using any actives and my skin barrier is in great condition I can use them no problem, but since I've started low dose tret I'm instead reaching for my favorite chemical sunscreens! 💕

[@RVC0902]

I want to try this new Colorescience one. I like the idea of tinted sunscreens however I wear makeup so I get my iron oxide protection from foundation anyways. I feel that Dr V's Unzincable is one that I am going to invest in because of the Melashield technology. I usually apply actives at night but if I have something that protects from the sun and has added hyperpigmentation benefits during the day with the Melashield, then that's intriguing. I don't think any of the other sunscreens had that included.

I'm black and live in the UK and I use kids once a day (last up to 8hrs...) by Calypso SPF 40, £6 from Asda. I'm about your colour and it leaves no cast or purple look on my face. It's non greasy and fine under makeup as well. And no irritation at all. I saw a program on TV that said UK suncare is a higher grade than in USA. Not sure why....

[@antoinettea9968]

I know this is a very old comment but I just checked out this sunscreen because of your comment. It’s a chemical suncreen, not mineral so of course you may not get any white cast, because the white powder that causes massive white cast in mineral sunscreen, the zinc oxide is not present in chemical sunscreens. Any chemical sunscreen boasting non white cast is just a marketing ploy, they should not be having white casts in the first place.

Hi Dr. Stephens ! there are so much more organic filters available in EU that are more than suitable for sensitive skin.I agree that for example avobenzon can be irritating but I think it is not faire to put them all in the same box. Moreover organic sunscreens are known to have a much higher UVA protection than zinc oxide...this is just a scientific fact...with organic sunscreens you can achieve PPDs of over 50 sometimes !!!
