"What is the best sunscreen?" "The best sunscreen is the one that you will actually put on everyday, and use and that you like. Point blank. That is it." The queen has spoken, and she is not having ANY BS.
I love her no BS. She doesn’t fall for the hype.
@Hello It's K That is per Dr Dray's recommendations. If you watch this video or ANY video of hers, you will know the she recommends a higher SPF (at least SPF30, but preferably 50 or higher) regardless of your geographic location.
When someone says "the queen" about someone on UA-cam, it always makes me laugh but I totally agree with the message 🙂
@Hello It's K, it doesn't matter how hot a country is, you need at least SPF 30. That's Dr Dray's message too!
Please research them too. Other countries have more stringent approval assessments for sunblock than others. Americans can claim anything about their products, but Australia requires clinical trials of any pill, medical device etc before the TGA approval is given. We treat sunscreen as part of life 365 days a year.
To me the biggest takeaway from all of this is that sunscreen is just backup sun protection and shade and sun protective clothing should be the main focus
👏🏼
And always seek shade!!!
I just bought a big hat
@@suides4810 I also wear a hat now when I’m outside for more than 5 minutes.
This is why I always wear long sleeves and hats ! I hide from direct sunlight 😂😂, I live in miami so it’s summer all year round , my skin is prone to melasma and I’m very fair.
Oh my gosh, I remember Dr. Dray’s video a while back mentioned how she questioned Centella Purito’s sunscreen protection because it didn’t contain much filters. She was right lol
Yup.
I remember her questioning if the two filters delivered broad spectrum protection.
Glad I listened, though I was a little bummed at the time, as the formulation sounded like a (cosmetically elegant) dream.
Turns out it was too good to be true.
The only person who has suspicion while others adore it on every platform
I remember that too. She was definitely right.
She is the queen of sunscreen
So recently there's another test by NZ's lab. Several brand like nivea, banana boat, woolworth, sun bum also didn't have as much spf as their labels.
Since it's so hard to prove spf content without lab test, I guess this will continue.
Trust issues with spf is a real thing haha
💙
Imagine trusting so much a sunscreen that you don't reapply, or use just a little. 💀
@@andresbrio4525 I could never trust so much a sunscreen like that 🤣
WORD! 🤣
The struggle is real...for like 20 yrs now
😎💪🏻💯
Hope all reading this are well & have a great day.
❤️🤘🏻
@@andresbrio4525 🤯😱😱😱
I've started wearing pretty sun hats on a regular basis when we go out (I also live in Texas) and in the beginning I felt silly because no one else wears this stuff - unless they are at the pool or something. It seemed kinda diva to me. Well my husband loves the look and encouraged me to keep on going with it. Let's all do it ladies and gents! Let's do it everyday!
I have a fancy UV protective umbrella. 🤣
Your commitment to education is extraordinary. Thank you, Dr. Dray!
Your content is gold , I’ve learned so much from it these past few years , it’s saved me money and improved my skin. I hope you are living a great life off camera , you deserve it for being such direct and honest content creator & dermatologist ! Much love
It's not all or nothing, even if the sunscreen isn't as high as it says it is, it ain't 0 xD
But the solution is obvious, let's bring back umbrellas, not the ones for rain, but the ones for sun (I mean that's actually what umbrella means, making shadow). It would be so fabulous ☂️♡
Yeah I use UV umbrellas on top of putting on sunscreen
@moonrise dreamer
But yeah that look is so cool ! I'm a french speaker and in french there are two terms for umbrellas parapluie (rainshield) and ombrelle (ombre =shadow). When I hear the word ombrelle it feels like I'm in a renaissance novel xD
Here in Asia, umbrellas are common whether for sun or rain. 😊👍🏼💯
My hair type doesn't really work with hats so I use UV sunbrellas as well as cute, fancy UV gloves. I always feel so old timey and stylish.
Haha that’s a parasol!
I’m almost done with my last tube of Purito. I use it as my morning my moisturizer, and then follow that with my regular SPF 50.
Thank you, Dr. Dray!
I am doing the same thing with all my Korean sunscreens…Purito, Klairs, and Krave.
Does it make ur face a bit more oily? Cause purito alone makes me face greasy 😞 im currently trying to finish my tube and since i didn't go out that much i dont need to purchase one more sunscreen. But looking at this comment i feel like i need one after applying purito since im gonna be out in the sun in the near future.. what's the other sunscreen u apply after purito?
I always appreciate your content! Educating vs influencing is always a win for me. 💜
My favorite video of yours so far. Thank you for educating those willing to learn, and for taking your time to research and analyze before making commentary. Always on topic, and so professional! ♡
Love how nice and smart u r...just absolutely professional and clear at the same time... U r a great example of someone who can communicate and bring people together.
I hate the outrage based things too! I feel like it’s always more about the love of drama and destroying rather than a quest for truth.
Also my greatest take away here is ‘ sunscreen is not a coat of armor’ ! Greatness, Dr Dray! You should put this on a shirt! 😊❤️
I almost bought this sunscreen before the whole scandal :/ it's hard to find good non-greasy sunscreens with no white cast. Thanks for explaining the science behind this stuff! I appreciate it as a fellow scientist :)
I guess you just have to embrace the greasiness
Thanks for watching
Try tinted mineral sunscreen. It is more trial and error but I’ve found some that blend nicely with my skin color. It’s replaced my use for foundation as well.
The supergoop zinc tinted has been great for me and black girl sunscreen has a matte one. Good luck on your journey!
Dr. Jart every sun day fluid is amazing. I bought it last year in Korea and I use it a lot. It’s my holy grail. Doesn’t irritate my eyes either. I’m actually going to buy 2 from their website. Just be careful when buying from Amazon. A lot of fakes out there
You’re very level headed and I like that! Thank you for being objective
This video was worth the wait. Always appreciate your thoughtful and measured responses 💗
I’ve been waiting for you to speak on this! I stopped using my Purito SPF a few months back and switched to La Roche Posay 😊
Dr Dray is not just smart but she is very intuitive and have strong integrity. You’re a rare gem, thank you for the work you put in to inform us.
Asian in Asia love white skin so they would wear sunscreen and cover up with umbrella, hat, etc as a daily routine. I would NOT solely rely on a bottle of cream to protect my skin neither.
I lived in Japan for awhile and adopted the use of a sun umbrella. My friends in the states make fun of me for it..
@@Nomarcaper keep using an umbrella and laugh at them while they age and wither. 🌂
@@Nomarcaper me too! Lived in South East Asia and I loved the umbrella ☂️. Came back to Canada and they thought I was nuts.
@@Nomarcaper sun umbrella used to be a thing in the states in the early 90’s still. Idk what happened.
@@skybri69 my best guess is people love tans. I never liked tans on people who didn’t have it naturally. They end up looking orange but all POC also need SPF
You're such a great health educator♥️ i love the evidence-based message: the best sunscreen is the one you'll wear.
A very intelligent, level-headedness analysis. Thats what I love about Dr Dray; you never get the feeling she is being 'bought' by a company/product.
I have to admit- I'm impressed with those companies going back and testing their SPFs on their own and pulling the product when it wasn't up to snuff.
As a lawyer I assure you, that was driven by fear, not care. Nevertheless, regardless of the reason, it is still a good thing
I liked this sunscreen. Odile Monod had an interesting video explaining how smaller Korean companies like Purito are able to skirt the regulations. She believes the larger Korean companies have more trustworthy sunscreens.
Thank you for balanced opinion and lots of common sense advice. I was upset about the Purito sunscreen but I liked how the company handled it.
Yeeees I’ve been dying for you to touch on this subject!
I hope that one day in the future, we can develop some sort of product/technology that can 100% protect us from harmful UV rays and then we can look back and be like “wow, people had to reapply EVERY 2 hours?! Thats nuts!” I feel like we’re living in the stone age by doing this lol
Unrelated, but I’m convinced at one point we’re gonna look back on the days where we didn’t do routine screening for ovarian cancer and absolutely cringe
Dray, you are my favorite. You always give the best skin care reviews and back up ALL of your points with science backed information. I never buy anything without watching your review first.
Hey Dr. Dray! You are a true blessing to so many! I’m personally glad that you choose to share your knowledge in such a scientific and rational manner! Have a great evening and I’ll see you tomorrow!
You are truly an invaluable resource, Dr. Dray- thank you!
Great points made here! Thank you, Dr. Dray.
Thanks for watching
Below are fragrance free sunscreens:
• Avene Mineral Fluid SPF 50 (this does leave a white cast but it is good for sensitive skin).
• Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield SPF 50.
• Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Brush-on Shield SPF 50 (this is great as a top-up).
• Ultra Violette Clean Screen SPF 30.
👍🏼
@@DrDrayzday ❤️💙💜
Eucerin oil control SPF 50+ is also fragrance free
I wish there was a way to get Ultra Violette in the US
what is a good sunscreen for oily skin? I have oily skin and wear glasses so most make my skin greasy and my glasses will slide like crazy
A lot of great information in here, both new-to-me and reinforced. Thank you, Dr. Dray.
Yessss, finally!! I have been waiiiiiting for you to talk about this!!!
I've watched so many videos on the Korean sunscreen scandal yet this one was the most enlightening and informative 👍🏼
Labmuffin is good too she gets real scientific
@@ye23. Yes! She gets into the real nitty-gritty. I also have been recommending everyone check out the video from The Monodist that Lab Muffin had shared. Really eye opening!
I only wear sunscreen from Australia/NZ. Australia has the highest skin cancer rate and we have the strictest approval guidelines by cancer council.
What brands
Which sunscreens are your favourites?
@@jacobrihanivlogs5614 Skinnies 50 plus thanks
@@millig8980 I absolutely love that sunscreen. It's my absolute favorite.
Same. Ultra Violette.
Dr Dray is great! always using science and using a level head, never giving in to the crazes and being clear about the limitations of what she says. Also thank you for saying this is not just a Korean thing
Haven’t watched yet but excited to hear what you have to say. Been wondering about your take on this “issue” for a while!
That peach colour is gorgeous on you 🧡
Good Morning Dr. Dray and Friends from San Diego, CA!! Hope all are having a lovely start to your day! Be well.
hello fellow san diegan friend :)
Thank you, Dr. Dray. This answered many questions I had. I always look forward to your videos and learn so much!
So glad you made this video!!! A few videos ago I asked about this and I feel like my voice was heard! Thank you so much for all your knowledge!!!
Let’s not throw out the baby with the bath water. Layer sunscreens and reapply.
I have respect for all the brands that pulled their sunscreens off the market and retested them. At least they care about whether or not they're misleading consumers whether intentionally or not. Thanks, Dr. Dray!
👍🏼👍🏼
@A maybe not but at least they pulled products before that point. I don't have data or stats to back this up, but it seems like a lot of brands try to make as much money as possible before admitting there's a problem.
👍🏻
Purito actually publicly admitted they didn't trust their own sunscreen. It's been very controversial since it launched and a lot of people didn't trust it whatsoever, which is the only reason it got tested by INCIdecoder to start with. And the only reason it was pulled from the market was because they got caught redhanded by a third party and couldn't risk getting sued.
Thanks for the info, I have been baffled by all the misinformation going around.
I’ve been waiting for this one and I think you made a great assessment, along with great recommendations, as usual! 💖
Im glad i pair with my uv blocker umbrella when i go out to the sun besides wearing sunscreen
👏🏻 thank you Dr. Dray! Again, another highly informative vid. Love this channel.
Thanks for watching
I love you Dr Dray. Thanks for being an honest voice.
It's very assuring to hear this from Dr.Dray.
Absolutely loved your breakdown. Being in engineering field, repeatability and reproducibility is absolutely the key to any successful engineered design. It’s a very scientific concept. Very insightful information. Thank you for all that you do with passion and truly educate consumers 😍
Possibly the most awaited video of this year ! 😀
Thanks for watching
The voice of reason. Thank you.
Everything is so on point. 💯 Thank you for sharing this with us. ❤️
Hello Everyone! I just wanted to point out that there are a lot of people in this comment section recommending wearing non-water resistant sunscreens for days at the beach. This probably isn’t the most advisable advice one could offer. If you are sweating or getting in the water please consider wearing a water resistant sunscreen to maintain robust coverage for a significant period of time. They aren’t always the most comfortable to wear every day but different situations require different tools.
Have a wonderful day!
Another thing with sunscreen use in many Asian countries is that many people use layers of spf. Moisturizer with spf + suncreen + tone up cream with spf + bb cream with spf. Also no tanning and umbrella use for sun blocking, although the umbrella use is usually done by grandmas.
"...although the umbrella use is usually done by grandmas." I feel so attacked.
Such an important topic! Thank you Dr. Dray!
What a very good and thorough explanation. You made a crazy good point and amazing advice. You're such a great doctor Dr. Dray. Very professional. Hats off! ❤🙏🥂
Great topic! Happy Friday Eve Dr Dray and peeps ❤️ 🥤☕🥳
Happy Thursday
Always so thorough to give haters no room to complain! You’ve been my go to skincare professional and everything you’ve ever recommended has ALWAYS worked! Thank you Dr. Dray!!!
Just the facts. Thank you for that! It is exactly why I watch you. ❤️ your channel!
The best and most informative video about sunscreens and general sun protection on the internet 🙌🏼❤️ Thank you so much for all the effort you put into educating us while being this kind and just simply data driven😘
Thank you for your insight. You’re one of the only experts who’s ever convinced me to use sunscreen daily, and be more aggressive about sun protection in general. That being said, Neutrogena and la roach posay could still use some work making chemical sunscreens that don’t leave a white cast 😐 jus sayin
This is so weird, I Googled that question this morning
Hope this helps answer your questions
@@DrDrayzday Thank you so much, very helpful.
This was the honest straightforward truth I needed to hear today.
I started looking too carefully at percentages to decide between sunscreens and it’s good to be reminded you can’t go just by the ingredient percentages
Thank you for the informative and clear information. I can always trust the information you share to your subs.
If you are based in Europe try SVR line, it’s awesome and I enjoy it much more than Asian sunscreens. SVR: Fluid, Extreme Gel and Blur are my 3 HG sunscreens, 0 shine, white cast and irritation. 😍
I'm so glad that you finally released this video, and that this was your opinion and message. There's been so much outrage over these Korean sunscreens, and it's honestly kind of ridiculous. Like you said, this isn't specific to Korea, there wasn't any malicious intent behind it, and it not necessarily anyone's fault, just by nature of the variability in product testing. I love Asian sunscreens (specifically Japanese) for daily use, because they're so lightweight, comfortable, and quickly/easily absorbed. For those same reasons however, I never really thought they'd be ideal for heavy outdoor activity, because they don't usually produce a film on the skin! Most of these Asian sunscreens are meant for daily wear, as opposed to being used at the beach or whatever, so I wouldn't think to rely on them outside of the parameters of their intended use anyways. They also tend to come in very small bottles, and I can't imagine how many you'd go through during a day at the beach! I don't have that kind of money... Lol
I have to wonder if the big reason for the outrage was simply because of the major hype around asian beauty lately. Ppl around the world have put Asian beauty products on such an extremely high pedestal that it was only a matter of time before something rocked it. (Not saying Asian beauty isn’t good, because a lot of it is, but nothing is perfect.)
@@nolaray1062 that's a really good point. The past few years have been so heavily focused on asian skincare, how technologically advanced and amazing it is. I've tried my fair share of K-beauty/J-beauty products and enjoyed them, but apart from the sunscreens (lol), I never quite understood the hype around them. I think it's the concepts and philosophies overall (double cleansing, gentler products, daily sunscreen) that have made the bigger impact, as opposed to the products themselves. Anyways, I think you're right. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. If it hadn't been hyped up so much, it wouldn't have been such a big scandal.
Completely agree!
Good point too!
I agree with you @Jesse Mock. I love my Misha Essence Sun Milk SPF 50+++. Extremely lightweight, non greasy, doesn't sting my sensitive eyes and plays well with other products. I thought it was Japanese but just checked, it's made in Korea. I'd be interested in knowing which Japanese sunscreen you use. I do think Asian formulations are better than ours due to the cultural preference for lighter, spot- free skin.
Thank u the way u present a more real smart position not only in this subject but for any other situation.
Ohhhhhh the sunscreen queen finally weighs in!!! So excited for this.
Thank you! Needed.
Thanks for watching
This should be a PSA for everyone to watch. The BEST video about sunscreen I've seen.
Dr Dray as per usual slays the issue! 💯 agree with you.
Dr. Dray, I have to tell you my skin is so much better since I started following your advice and routines. I had zero knowledge of skin care, did basically zero to take care of my skin. As I got a little older I didn't like how my skin was looking. I found you on here about 2 weeks ago. I've been following your basic skin care you recommend/suggest on your channel and in 2 weeks my skin looks so much better. I bought some of the products you recommend, started using them, they really help. I can't thank you enough.
I went to a dermatologist once to talk about how my skin was looking but I didn't understand anything she was saying, I had no idea what she was talking about. So I just sat there clueless, went home, made no changes. I just didn't understand. After watching a few of your videos I understood, you really explain and teach well. I was able to put in action what you explain. Thank you so much.
Dude I remember watching Dr Dray review that sunscreen and she did say in that video "I wonder how good this really is bc the only ingredient for UVA protection it has is ?"
It was super cosmetically elegant and seemed too good to be true. So Dr Dray's innocuous, off-handed comment about the ingredients list then made me think there had to be a catch.
Happy Tuesday!
Hope you are having a great week
Thank you so much for this video. After the whole Purito thing, I read a lot of anti Asian/anti Korean rhetoric and it really upset me. Love you 💜
Once again your videos are coming at a perfect time as I was just on a sunscreen rabbit hole yesterday trying to find a good one to use when I finish up my current sunscreen. Thank you so much!
I am still using my backup of Purito and Klairs frankly... I don't use em for sports or the beach (they were not water resistant anyway) and I simply put more on.
I loved Purito, I never ever got a sunburn while using it during summer , it worked wonders for me. I did reapply every 4 hours.
will you review the new vanicream spf 50 formula announced recently? i really love your reviews since you’ve tried so many spf formulas!
Hello Dr Dray! Been loving your regular uploads. Thank you for being so detailed with your explanation. I started applying spf the right way, bought ones you recommended and loving how my skin is much more protected now.
Thanks for addressing this, Dr Dray. I've always been curious about this topic. Really appreciate your thoughts on it. Happy Thursday! Hope you have a lovely evening. 💞
Could you please do a video on some of your favorite UPF clothing and/or brands
She's got some videos on this. Just type, dr dray upf clothing.
Hope your week has been going well Dr. Dray :)
You too!
Yes! Was waiting for this video.
Dr Dray did such a job explaining everything! Thank you so much for all the information ❤ we all need a Dr Dray in our life!
Thanks for watching!
I honestly started wondering that recently haha thank you for reading my mind 🌸
Thanks for watching
I was waiting for this video !!! just bought the Hada Labo UV Gel. Much LOVE❤️
Thanks for watching
Where did you buy yours? I can't find it in stock anywhere.
@@ja8973 I just bought the Hada Labo UV gel from a website called Japanese Taste. I've never bought from this site before so I'm hoping for good service. I tried La Roche Posay for the first time this morning and DID NOT LIKE IT. Too greasy, smells too much like sunscreen, gave me a white goo layer in my eyebrows. Ordered Hada Labo at work after just a few hours!
I love the Hada labo uv gel, its the only sunscreen that I actually want to wear, but now im not sure if I can trust the spf.
@@louise5055 until I hear otherwise about that specific product, I'm gonna keep using it. Like Dr. Dray said, the best spf is the one you're willing to use everyday. I cannot use spf that smells like regular sunscreen.
Wow this was extremely insightful, thank you!!!
Dr Dray came thru with the facts.👏🏽
THANK YOU DR DRAY! I don’t trust anyone’s opinions but yours on this
Thanks for watching
I alternate different big brand sunscreens while trying new ones from time to time. It's my way of avoiding consistent use of one brand that later turns out to be problematic.
Great video, great perspective (as always) 💫💛
You dropped this Queen 👑
Every sunscreen i've tried cause me mild to moderate irritation, except Purito. So sad that it's no longer available 😭
I have 10 unopened tubes of it that I won’t be using. 😄 probably will donate them.
@@jourdainjardin846 meh, its a moisturiser, you can still use it
But if you donate it, be clear about what it is, so that other people don't get a sunburn
@@jourdainjardin846 omg exact same problem here lol but I use it in the morning as a moisturizer after showering, then go make breakfast etc. and then after half an hour I apply my ‘first’ spf product. So I use the purito sunscreen for half an hour and apply right when my whole morning routine is over, and won’t feel guilty for not immediately unsing sunscreen because its spf19 👍 Doing it this way even made my morning routine more relaxed, would recommend this morning ritual 😄
@@babykrul I feel like even if it's just spf 19 it's okay for staying indoors (at least when it's not summer), I finished my last tube like that: indoor and applying a looot of it lol
@@lena-ex7bv Exactly! Even with the thought in mind that most people only wear spf when it’s the hottest days of summer, spf19 is pretty decent if you use it that way!
I appreciate this video so much, I have total confidence in Dr Dray. I have oily skin, I live in France, and I wear Eucerin Oil Control SPF50+ and SVR AK DM Secure Protect. Deals with oiliness, has high UVB SPF and high UVA protection. I apply liberally in the morning, and I reapply at least once during the day.
I can't find the Eucerin SPF50 pil control in Sweden anymore! :(
I think it's a Swedish brand too...?
Oil control...ooops typo!
@@starvictory7079 It's a German brand, I think! I really like it!
@@nmackenziedodds me too...only the spf30 is available now. Very annoying!
Excellent video. So informative. Thanks Dr Dray!
Thank you for this! I've been waiting for your insights! 🙂
I have that exact sunscreen in my purse right now! I bought it after watching your video.
Which one?
The Purito Centella Green Level Unscented Sun SPF 50+ PA++++
@@DrDrayzday I almost feel I should contact where I got it from and see if they'll exchange it. I got it after watching an old video you did. Thankfully I haven't used it. I have been using another CeraVe tinted sunscreen you recommended.
I was waiting so long for Dr.Dray 's opinion!!! I know she recommended it as a moisturizer!!! Since then I became also suspicious about the number of filters a sunscreen has....???....in my mind it was just to good to be true 🤔.....nevertheless, It doesn't stop me from trusting sunscreens...and I am still searching for the perfect one😃😃😃😃!!.. happy Thursday everyone!!!
Thank you for this video, it was packed with a lot of useful information. It answered a lot of questions that I had.
