Why? I want to know because I don’t want to offense anybody....

[@Spongebob-lf5dn]

@@MarjolaineDaudrumez I don't think its offensive, but I prefer to be called a black American as opposed to "African American" because most of my family's history was in America, as a descendant of a slave most likely. I have no ties to Africa, I am a mixture of many African countries and European countries. We as black americans have our own culture.

Oh, dear God. I didn't know that lightbulbs could drive hyperpigmentation! I work from home (with the light & computer monitors on) during the day. Never thought I'd need sunscreen indoors, too! Thanks for the info!

[@jaqueline5790]

I'm Hispanic with Hyperpigmentation and some melasma on my cheeks. I've been using tretinoin by night and MD complete hydroquinone 2% by day for two weeks now. I use Murad city skin and skin aqua milk for my spf sun protection. My melasma has lightened up a great deal!! I'm following all of your tips thank you! Thanks to you I now know hiw to properly moisturize my face and what products to use. Before this regime I would use the alpha hydrox brand and use my tretinoin twice a week for the past 7 years on and off. I'm obsessed with your channel!! Thank you!!

[@monicadelreal8212]

You’re so awesome. I tell everyone I know to watch your channel. Lots of useful info. And great ideas for questions to ask my dermatologist.

[@anne-mariecain7191]

Hi Dr Dray! I love, love, love your q&a series (I love all your videos, but especially the q&a’s). I have been diligent about daily sunscreen for at least 20 years, but neglected my neck, chest, arms and hands until recently. I was never a sun worshipper and actually have always shyed away from the sun (I’m quite fair-skinned). Luckily, I have suffered little sun damage and, thanks to you, I am now militant in my sun protection. Up until finding your videos, I used Oil of Olay Complete Care moisturizer with spf 30 for daily sun protection. In order to up my game, I’ve tried the following Asian sunscreens. They are all good, but leave me shiny, which I don’t like: Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence, Shiseido Senka Mineral Water UV Gel, and Nivea Sun Protect Super Water Gel. I’ve also used Australian Gold Botanical 50 spf tinted mineral sunscreen, which is good, but tends to dry my skin out. I don’t wear foundation or powder (little makeup), so I can’t advise if any of these would work well/be less shiny under makeup. Since I now use your method of putting hyaluronic acid on a wet face and then moisturizer on top of that (my skin feels great!), the moisturizers with spf don’t work so well for me. My current favorite sunscreen is Etude House Sunprise Mild Airy Finish Sun Milk. It leaves a matte finish and works great. I use at least two layers. I don’t detect a white cast, but, again, I’m fair-skinned. Thanks, again!!!

[@DrDrayzday]

the AGB one is very drying

[@kumbimukaro6343]

The Hado labo one you recommended is working for me dr dray. I don’t think of it as a sunscreen just a glowy moisturiser my skin enjoys. Working on the reapplication bit.

[@jayniestanley7118]

Always the best. This series has been the bomb!!!!!!!! I really got a great deal out of it. Thank u so much.

[@DrDrayzday]

Thanks for watching!

[@Sharon-wn9vm]

I have used tretinoin 0.025% for a year and it has signifcantly lightened the sunspots I had on my face. You almost can't see them anymore. I did not have very many sunspots to begin with though. I have very oily, sensitive and acne prone skin. I have tried so many sunscreens. Australian Gold Botanical Tinted SPF 50 and Paula's Choice Super Light Resist SPF 30 are my favorite sunscreens and the only ones that don't make me a greasy mess. I wear them alone or top them with DermaE mineral powder SPF 30. When I have worn makeup for a special occasion both sunscreens wear beautifully under makeup. As always, another wonderful informative video. You are such a talented teacher! I wish your videos had been around when I was a teenage girl. I don't think I ever would have layed out in the sun to try and cover up my horrible acne. I plan on showing your videos to my girls when they get older. Thank you for helping so many people.

[@TheShortstacknc]

Thank you for this VERY educational video. At the end you asked for recommendations for sunscreen for people of color. I have medium skin tone with yellow undertones. I have found these three to leave the least noticeable whitecast: Replenix SPF50 tinted; MyChelle SPF 50, medium shade;Australian Botanicals SPF 50, tinted. I have also tried Neutrogena Sheer Zinc (too heavy, very obvious whitecast), Shiseido SPF 50 (good consistency, obvious whitecast). I use them when I do yard work, sometimes when I go hiking, so I can use them up. Thank you for this service you provide.

Dr Dray I have been using otc hydroquinone 3% along with tretinoin 0.05% for about 3 month but haven’t seen any noticeable changes. Is there a big difference in efficacy between hydroquinone 3% otc vs prescription 4%?

[@elenajoli]

Latina here and my current fav for Summer is Banana Boat SPF 50 Dry Balance 50+. Leaves no cast or greasy feel at all. I use it instead of make-up primer under my SPF 30 foundation. In the winter I use Neutrogena Ultra sheer dry touch instead of Banana boat as it’s a bit more hydrating. Your videos are very informative!

[@ColombiaExotic]

Thank you Dr. Dray! Another great video. I am latina, sensitive with rosacea. I have tried a few sunscreens including the elta md but my favourite is La Roche Posay Anthelios tinted. No redness, no breakouts and is perfectly balanced, not too matte not too shiny finish, just a healthy look.

I have light medium skin and love the CeraVe AM Lotion I found thanks to you! Some others I've tried are the Biore Watery Essence (the alcohol content is too high for me though because I am on tretinoin and clindamycin for my acne). I love the Australian Gold SPF for summer time but that definitely gives a white cast, but it helps hide slight skin imperfections and helps me stay matte.

[@Wombat1420]

One of your best EVER! Thanks!!

[@anosid1036]

Hi! I’m African and very prone to post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. My skin is dehydrated and acneprone. I love Netrogena ultra sheer dry touch broad spectrum sunscreen. Sunscreen usually irritates my skin and gives me eczema, but not this one. It leaves a slight whit/grey cast, but my makeup covers it just fine. None drying or sticky. Greetings all the way from Norway in Scandinavia 😁🇳🇴

[@joya6414]

Another great video! Thank you. I use LaRoche Posay Toleriane Double Repair SPF30 right out of the shower in the morning after Cerave moisturizer (on my wet skin--thank you Dr Dray ;). Then, about an hour later I use Neutrogena Healthy Defense mineral sunscreen SPF50. The break in between allows the sunscreens not to cause "pilling" of the moisturizers. After that I can apply a powder foundation (It Cosmetics or Bare Minerals) that has some Zinc Oxide and Titanium Oxide. Unfortunately, I don't re-apply all day because of the foundation, but am mostly indoors. If I do go out in the sun I have a powder sunscreen that I carry in my purse which I dust over my face, hands and chest. I know it's not a perfect routine, but I try! Way better than what I use to do!

[@Mightyluna]

Super informative as always, Andrea. Currently I'm using Cerave's AM moisturizer/sunscreen which I don't really care for because it makes my skin feel tight but I intend to use it up and then look for something else. I also use Neutrogena's Healthy Skin "anti-aging" Perfector tinted moisturizer/sunscreen 30 which I really like! I don't like to use foundation so this works well for me because it has just enough tint to provide some sheer coverage, it moisturizes well and it has sunscreen! It does leave a little bit of shine or "dewiness" if you will, but that is easily remedied with a very light dusting of translucent powder. Happy Friday to you!

[@HannahVilay]

There have been one little hyperpigmentation on the side of my face for a few years and just disappeared by using retinA for a couple of months.

Suntegrity Sunscreen-spf 30 but it does leave an obvious white cast. It's basically Desitin for the face LOL 20% zinc oxide. I use this when I know i'll be driving a lot, be outdoors a lot. Citrix Elite spf 40 - also leaves a slight whtie cast, but better then suntegrity. I would say I use this more during winter or when sun exposure is more limited. 7% zinc oxide (i think) and a chemical sunscreen.

My ethnic background is half Japanese & half black so my skin complexion is a medium brown color but not really "black". My favorite sunscreen that works and blends really well for me is the EltaMD UV Sport SPF 50 & CaraVe AM sunscreen SPF 30 so the combination sunscreens. I also use Tretinoin cream .1% five days a week and I take a break on the weekends, so I feel for me it is good for me to double layer my sunscreens.

I am African American with darker skintone. I found that CeraVe Am Moisturizing Lotion with Spf 30 and Cetaphil dermcontrol moisturizer with Spf 30 work well and don't leave a white cast on my face once it has been absorbed.

Hi Dr. Dray thank you for a great video. Love the information. I am very fair skin with baby blue eyes. I use a mineral based sunscreen but also put one pump of the neutrogena make up with it so it is not so white. That seems to help. I work in a school kitchen with Florence lights and always have my sunscreen on because i feel like those bright lights can cause damage to my skin.

Thanks for the excellent info. Thanks too for the Come to Jesus on sunscreen. I needed to hear it because I hate sunscreen. Makes me super oily. I’ll begin the search for a sunscreen.

Aloha Ms Andrea! This was such a great video. I’ve been dealing with dark spots and enjoy all your tips! I’ve been sick all week and missed out on all the fun! I hope you and your mom had a merry Christmas! Can’t wait to catch up on all the videos I’ve missed!

I am currently using Australian Gold Sunscreen. It's one of the first sunscreens I've been able to use without irritation. After it sets I am able to apply my make up without it leaving me with a shiny face.

Hi Andrea, thank you for your fab vlogs through December, they have been a great series 👍🏻 Sightly off topic but I wonder if you have the Simple range in USA and what your opinion of it is, specifically their face lotions. Thanks! Also I’m going to make that granola soon, it looks delicious! X

Hi I use the tinted coz sunscreen. I find that is the best for my tan complexion. It's really depressing to deal with melasma. I appreciate all the information you give for free. I learned so much from your videos. Thank you! 😊
