Unfortunately he does keep spreading incorrect information about sunscreens. Both organic and inorganic filters ARE absorbed into the (upper layers of the) skin, and work in the same way. The operative word is INTO versus THROUGH.
Angie hot and flashy just put out a video on this. I’m 56 and started using it a few months ago because my skin is SO dry and it’s supposed to help that. Not certain if it has since I use castor oil too but the changes Angie shows are not noticeable without a close up side by side but I could tell her pores looked smaller. My insurance wouldn’t cover if I say I’m putting on my face though and so have to say I’m using it for the way it’s intended and also doctor and pharmacist didn’t even believe me and had never heard of it being used for skin. Has to show my doctor a study and then she believed me only after talking to a dermatologist. Also as someone commented below on progesterone cream, I wanted to try that too but way too much of a hassle and couidnt get it because the pharmacy said I’d have to go to a compounding pharmacy to see if they’d make it for me and only some would and they gave me the name of one to try but said insurance wouldn’t cover and it would be expensive and so gave up on that idea
I have some experience in cosmetic chemistry. It's inappropriate to single out bemotrizinol (Tinosorb S) as being a particularly unique or special ingredient. There are many other equally safe ingredients that do an equally good job at blocking UVA-1 & UVA-2, and are found in many Asian, European & some NZ/Australian sunscreens. most of these are large molecules (over 500 daltons) that aren't absorbed by the skin. some of them are even slightly more effective UVA blockers than bemotrizinol. some examples of these modern UVA blockers are Tinosorb A2B Uvinul A Plus (diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate) bisoctrizole (Tinosob M) Mexoryl SX In summary, bemotrizinol is a great ingredient, but there's nothing special/unique about bemotrizinol these days.
Inappropriate? That’s like he needs to be smacked for bad behavior? No positives, just one negative thing to say? If he had mentioned more, this video would’ve been longer, and I’m sure with all the data you’ve provided you could make a separate video out of it. If it offended you and felt this video is inappropriate, then please make your own to talk about what you need to talk about.
Putting moisturiser on after sunscreen is not the best idea. You want to minimise disruption to the sunscreen layer. Ideally you'd apply other products first, let them dry and absorb, and then put sunscreen on last.
No, you are wrong. A sunscreen (any sunscreen, be it organic - ‘chemical’ - or anorganic - ‘mineral’) is absorbed into the upper layers of the skin to function. After absorption, it doesn’t budge if you apply a moisturiser. As per a dermatologist of La Roche-Posay and my colleague, a board certified dermatologist
@Burp964 sorry but those two random dermatologists are wrong. the sunscreen will be absorbed anyway. if you apply products after sunscreen you displace it, prevent homogenous absorption and make your protection patchy.
@ Because you did your PhD in the protective properties of sunscreen, right? You actually managed to contradict yourself in two sentences, and I actually have *proof* that I am right and you are wrong. I always (and only) use LaRoche Posay UvMune 400 and to check for coverage, I did a Visia Skin analysis which has a UV mode: completely homogenous, smooth coverage. The only product that stays ON the skin is a mechanical sun block, which could be displaced. But that is not used by the average consumer
@@l.u.c.a.s. Which is funny because of my background. In this particular case, the anecdote IS evidence. Because as I said, the only way to proof who is right, is by evaluating the effectiveness of the filter with UV, which is exactly what the Visia Skin does (albeit for different purposes). If you had been right, there would have been *some* patchiness, streaks, etc. There weren’t. Once more, you evidently don’t understand how sunscreen filters do, and don’t work (also well-published). Both organic and inorganic filters convert longer-wavelength light into heat - the whole ‘light-scattering’-paradigm is hopelessly outdated. And thus, sunscreen does NOT work as a ‘shield’
There is a large genetic component to how we age. I've see people who tanned their whole life but still manage to stay young looking. Also people who age rapidly just because their parents did as well. Finding various ways to keep the skin moist deep down can help including the food we eat and certain moisturizers especially before bed. But in the end your genetics will be the greatest deciding factor.
I agree. I'm fair-skinned and simply lucky. I'm not egregious but have only ever put on sunscreen for long heavy exposure to sun. Had plenty of sunburns and never put it on for day to day. Low incidence of any disease in my family. Dad side live to late 90s. I've resistance trained my whole life but also was phoning it in on cardio for many years, also carried too much extra weight for 15 years. Not to mention doing a fair amount of partying. Despite everything my bloods are perfect and most people judge me to be about 30 at nearly 43. And I still get carded sometimes. Meanwhile I know diligent hippies that look older than their age. No illusions about the component of this that is genetic luck
4:54 One thing to note is that BOJ Relief Sun Aqua Fresh contains butyloctyl salicylate, which is a closely related molecule to ethylhexyl salicylate (octisalate), one of the ingredients currently under investigation by the FDA. The original, non "Aqua Fresh" version doesn't have butyloctyl salicylate. Now, I don't think it's a huge issue since it EHS is still approved as a sunscreen filter in most countries, but if you're trying to avoid ethylhexyl salicylate, you might also want to avoid butyloctyl salicylate.
Hello Dr. Stanfield, from the US! Former (now older, unfortunately) FNP here who greatly appreciates your many videos, current info, detailed discussion, actual research studies, & disclosure related to any potential conflicting interests. All people should be so lucky to have such a thorough, honest, competent, & caring provider. I am a subscriber & always hit "thumbs up" & have watched many of your videos. While you sometimes address specific application regimens (as in this video where you mention in the AM applying sunscreen & then, after drying, the Cera Ve moisturizer), you sometimes don't do this, & even as a former provider, I am sometimes confused as to when, how often, & the order in which topicals should be applied. I also sometimes wonder whether the initial layer of one might prevent/reduce the absorption of the one applied second--or even whether there might actually be a contraindication to mixing applications (as you note regarding general advice for retinoids & exfoliants...though, again, you note that your skin tolerates combined use). After that preamble 🙂, my request is this...would you please make a video where you show a chart that details the entire week &, going day by day, what you use, when you apply it, & in what order you apply it? That would be extremely helpful for me & I'm guessing for others too. If you already have done such a thing & I simply missed that video, then I apologize, & I'll look amongst your older videos to see if I can find it. Also, if you haven't done a full chart & end up doing one, would you please consider making a similar one for oral supplements? Thanks again! All the best!
Since I use a chemical sunscreen, it's better that apply that first and allow it absorb into the top layers of my skin. The moisturiser is then applied afterwards. For people that use a mineral sunscreen, it would be better to apply the moisturiser first, then mineral sunscreen
@@DrBradStanfieldsunscreen is supposed to create a protective barrier on the skin and should be the last step in your morning skincare routine. Putting on anything afterwards will disrupt/rub off the sunscreen and cause patchy protection.
@@DrBradStanfield how long do I leave the chemical sunscreen on my face before putting on moisturizer? Because I know some people here are concerned that the mixture will be diluted or rubbing something on your face after sunscreen would ruin the sunscreen application
I am absolutely with you on the sunscreen analysis, Dr Stanfield. Always the best summaries and updates. Awaiting for tinasorb in the US. Adding LRP UVmune from outside the US until 2025.
As to hyaluronic acid supplements, I started 120mg a day a few months ago. I just had a squamous cell carcinoma removed from my upper arm that popped up 2-3 months ago and seemed to grow pretty fast. Have skin that tans easily and never any problems. Live in Denver for the last 7 years, mile above sea level. There is some research that hyaluronic acid may contribute to cancers, known in pancreatic cancer apparently. My point is I am doing more research and may cut that out. I am 66yo in January, so stuff is going to happen, but I am questioning the safety of hyaluronic acid as a supplement.
You may wanna look into copper oxide-containing pillowcases for treating skin aging given that our face gets in contact with pillows (which accumulate bacteria etc. causing skin inflammation) 8+hours per day. Several studies did find skin improvements after several weeks using it.
cerave mineral sunscreen is a a no-go for my sensitive skin. Makes my face red within 30 minutes of applying it. It has a well known ingredient that causes this and that ingredient can be found in other cerave products as well. They break me out too.
Good article. But I think this list is not complete, home use Red Light Therapy, Ascorbic acid 15-20%, home use microneedling and some peptides are some you could add, especially the first 3 has really good data to back it up.
I agree with the Red Light Therapy and incorporating peptides in your skincare routine. He probably doesn’t use them topically since he’s already taking them internally.
@@zaya2041 Are you referring to the collagen peptides Dr Brad consumes? You sound very well informed, going by your other comments.. do you have some kind of qualification in this subject?
@@jog5289 yes I’m talking peptides. Brad already takes them internally which I’m guessing is why he hasn’t promoted the use of them topically. I personally use both to tackle anti-aging from both angles. And no, I’m not qualified by any means. Just a skincare enthusiast and watch a lot of skincare/dermatologist videos on UA-cam. And all have said sunscreen should always be the last step otherwise you’re rubbing some of it off when you apply a layer of anything on top.
Thanks a lot for this professionally researched and well documented educational video. I bought the same 2 exfoliants from Paula's Choice and thought I was supposed to use one in the morning and the other at night every day, but I guess I was mistaken. Could you confirm that you are using both exfoliants at the same time and only 2 nights a week only please? [P.S.: I have been using your MicroVitamin since the 1st version 🙂].
Specifically if we are talking about beauty of joseon sunscreen it is chemical formulation. It will be applied before moisturizer because it works differently than mineral sunscreen.
Good question. We were told that UVA is aging and that is same throughout the day no matter what weather conditions or time of a day. Also I heard that new research shows it’s not necessarily the case.
Hi Doc; Love your videos. I've looked into these choices for an SPF but they all contain Niacinamide which I'm highly allergic to. Could you recommend an SPF that doesn't have it?
You should add derma roller use to this..the results for thickening the collagen layer are remarkable and it's a dirt cheap, low risk mechanical solution.
Adapalene causes my eyelids to itch, swell up and turn red, even though I am using the adapalene around my chin and mouth. This happened after applying for two nights. Tried it again after stopping for a few weeks and I had the same allergic reaction. Guess I’ll just continue looking older.
Dr Brad, have you tried the NZ sunscreen brand called Skinnies? I believe it contains a mix of newer chemical sunscreens like bemotrizinol and a mineral oxide. It is pricey, but I've been really impressed with it.
To treat aging skin and prevent thinning, you need a multipeptide collagen and keratin treatment with growth factors. Skinlyte has a soap that is loaded not only with collagen but also keratin peptides. It is called Hair & Whole Body Bar. According to what I read on Amazon, it is fast absorbed because it has an enhanced peptide binding enhancement technology which produces water molecules in a condensation reaction that hydrates skin and hair naturally. It repairs, grows hair, naturally moisturizes, rebuilds and strengthens hair and skin. I got it at Amazon and I am impressed with new benefits I discover every time I use it. I noticed many improvements in my hair, skin and nails. What I like best about it is that it's all natural and without harmful chemicals such as synthetic dyes, fragrance, SLS or preservatives.
I just looked at one of the Korean sunscreens you recommend. The birch Juice one. I saw they sell it in the USA but it does not have bemotrizinal. Sadly.
Since I use a chemical sunscreen, it's better that apply that first and allow it absorb into the top layers of my skin. The moisturiser is then applied afterwards. For people that use a mineral sunscreen, it would be better to apply the moisturiser first, then mineral sunscreen
@ Are there any studies that applying moisturizer after chemical sunscreens is the correct way? I typically use chemical and I have always been taught the opposite.. to apply it last.
Because it’s not recommended. Sunscreen should be the last step in a morning skincare routine. Putting on anything after your sunscreen disrupts that protective barrier you just created. You’ll have patchy protection from UV.
The latest news I've heard about Bemotrizinol being approved by the FDA is Spring of 2026. 😐 I don't know why the holdup; maybe it's because Bemotrizinol is made in the UK and companies here in the US don't have their own access to it, and don't want to buy it from the UK. The whole situation is ridiculous when they know Bemotrizinol is being used everywhere but here in the US. So, we are forced to take a chance on products made in Korea and or Japan. In the meantime, I'm not getting the best protection with mineral sunscreen that has more limited effectiveness.
Great video❤. But Sir your face looks puffed up compared to that of your profile picture. And also, I apply Ghee on face for general moisturization and it kerps my skin moisturized too. I want to know if I can carry on for a entire winter season and beyond.
Dr can you please listen to Adrien Berry about sunscreen and do a reply on what he’s saying about it because I’m more confused about sunscreen now than ever! 😮😮😮 especially diet and how we really get cancer!
Would you mind explaining your reason for applying the moisture lotion a few minutes after sunscreen? Surely it would be more beneficial for the lotion ingredients to be absorbed directly into your skin, unless it is used as a final seal. I understood that sunscreen should be the final product applied to the skin. Thank you for the information you have provided, which has led me to research further.
Hi Doc, thanks for this. Have you changed your opinion about La Roche-Posay 50+ invisible fluid? Would be interesting to know why as we are ever evolving about our knowledge, thank you. I have bought some Zinc Oxide nano powder and was wondering whether to mix that in with a light moisturiser, might be cheaper for the body?
Great Video, thanks from Germany. Do you use AHA/BHA first and wait and put tretinoin /Differin later on? Or do you just mix it together? I think about using a peasize amount tret 0.05 and mix a few drops of 30 percent AHA. What do you think
Do you know why B6, HA, Biotin, and collagen gives me deep cystic acne? I've tried so many different versions but everything gives cystic acne, even though I can see the good moisturizing effects at the same time. (I live in Japan but are caucasian / European)
Brad, if active substance is adapelene - that's ok? Or it is only good if it is OG Adapelene™? Also, is 0.1% ok? And I have atopic skin, is there info on is it even safe to apply retinoids?
Your videos are incredible . I just find the delivery too fast and intense . Clearly you put a lot of effort into your delivery . Could you slow down and use some pauses
Could you give your opinion on microneedling, Tom? It's clinically proven to have a large effect and only costs $30 to do at home. Sounds too good to be true but there are double blind studies that suggest that's it's highly effective.
What's your take on aging via fluorescent lighting and sunscreen? Jw if it's worth putting on sunscreen if working only indoors with fluorescent lighting and would BoJ be good against it.
Yes you can, i do it since Years. I use Tretinoin first at night , than i use Moistreisur with Elastin pepdite cream from Loreal and over ti i use sunscreen. Works well.
Astaxanthin isn’t the same as sunscreen and doesn’t offer the same sun protection factor as even an spf 15, let alone 50. You can take it in conjunction with sunscreen but it’s not a substitute.
Another option I use is one that has no bad ingredients and fabulously, is NOT in plastic packaging! 30SPF Attitude Natural Care brand "Oatmeal Sensitive Natural" an easily applicable stick sunscreen, comes in a cardboard push up dispenser. This current stick has lasted me about two months (I apply it daily to my face, neck and hands as it's fall/winter here). All in all a very reasonably priced (comparable or cheaper than other brands. If you look it up on EWG's Skin Deep Data Base, you will see that it is an EWG certified product meaning that it meets their standards for health and safety. (btw, this is an amazing resource for everything you might put on your skin, hair, body! you can also look up every ingredient separately to dive deeper into detail of its structure, source, environmental concerns, testing bodies, gov't declarations, etc.)

I have some experience in cosmetic chemistry. It's inappropriate to single out bemotrizinol (Tinosorb S) as being a particularly unique or special ingredient. There are many other equally safe ingredients that do an equally good job at blocking UVA-1 & UVA-2, and are found in many Asian, European & some NZ/Australian sunscreens.
most of these are large molecules (over 500 daltons) that aren't absorbed by the skin.
some of them are even slightly more effective UVA blockers than bemotrizinol.
some examples of these modern UVA blockers are
Tinosorb A2B
Uvinul A Plus (diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate)
bisoctrizole (Tinosob M)
Mexoryl SX
In summary, bemotrizinol is a great ingredient, but there's nothing special/unique about bemotrizinol these days.
You list these as UVA blockers but isn't Bemotrizinol broad spectrum UVB & UVA blocker? 🤔
Inappropriate? That’s like he needs to be smacked for bad behavior? No positives, just one negative thing to say?

So what sunscreen to use in the US?
All good info cross reference with Dr Dray YT (a dermatologist) she mostly agrees with everything Brad does. :)
9. Drinking celery juice reduces facial swelling and rejuvenates the facial skin thanks to furanocoumarins.
So Dr Brad you apply sunscreen first n then moisturizer?
Dr Brad, have you tried the NZ sunscreen brand called Skinnies? I believe it contains a mix of newer chemical sunscreens like bemotrizinol and a mineral oxide. It is pricey, but I've been really impressed with it.
To treat aging skin and prevent thinning, you need a multipeptide collagen and keratin treatment with growth factors. Skinlyte has a soap that is loaded not only with collagen but also keratin peptides. It is called Hair & Whole Body Bar. According to what I read on Amazon, it is fast absorbed because it has an enhanced peptide binding enhancement technology which produces water molecules in a condensation reaction that hydrates skin and hair naturally. It repairs, grows hair, naturally moisturizes, rebuilds and strengthens hair and skin. I got it at Amazon and I am impressed with new benefits I discover every time I use it. I noticed many improvements in my hair, skin and nails. What I like best about it is that it's all natural and without harmful chemicals such as synthetic dyes, fragrance, SLS or preservatives.
Topical collagen is pointless...the molecules are too big to penetrate the skin...it has been scientifically proven.they are robbing people.
Should quality sleep not be in the list?
I just looked at one of the Korean sunscreens you recommend. The birch Juice one. I saw they sell it in the USA but it does not have bemotrizinal. Sadly.
Useful information thank you. Very surprised to see you put moisturiser on after the sunscreen - never seen that before
He’s wrong
Since I use a chemical sunscreen, it's better that apply that first and allow it absorb into the top layers of my skin. The moisturiser is then applied afterwards.
For people that use a mineral sunscreen, it would be better to apply the moisturiser first, then mineral sunscreen
@ Are there any studies that applying moisturizer after chemical sunscreens is the correct way? I typically use chemical and I have always been taught the opposite.. to apply it last.
Because it’s not recommended. Sunscreen should be the last step in a morning skincare routine. Putting on anything after your sunscreen disrupts that protective barrier you just created. You’ll have patchy protection from UV.
@@DrBradStanfieldwhat data do you have to support this? Does the application of moisturizer afterward dilute the sunscreens effectiveness?
Dr. Brad, thank you for this amazing video !
The latest news I've heard about Bemotrizinol being approved by the FDA is Spring of 2026. 😐
I don't know why the holdup; maybe it's because Bemotrizinol is made in the UK and companies here in the US don't have their own access to it, and don't want to buy it from the UK. The whole situation is ridiculous when they know Bemotrizinol is being used everywhere but here in the US. So, we are forced to take a chance on products made in Korea and or Japan. In the meantime, I'm not getting the best protection with mineral sunscreen that has more limited effectiveness.
Do you recommend your microvitamin to perimenopausal women?
What about red light therapy?
Great video❤. But Sir your face looks puffed up compared to that of your profile picture. And also, I apply Ghee on face for general moisturization and it kerps my skin moisturized too. I want to know if I can carry on for a entire winter season and beyond.
What is your opinion on Testosterone propionate for wrinkles?
Also, do you have any concerns about phenoxyethanol in the cerave?
I like Dr Brad ❤🧠 👨🏫
Dr can you please listen to Adrien Berry about sunscreen and do a reply on what he’s saying about it because I’m more confused about sunscreen now than ever! 😮😮😮 especially diet and how we really get cancer!
Would you mind explaining your reason for applying the moisture lotion a few minutes after sunscreen? Surely it would be more beneficial for the lotion ingredients to be absorbed directly into your skin, unless it is used as a final seal. I understood that sunscreen should be the final product applied to the skin. Thank you for the information you have provided, which has led me to research further.
Triabsorb B>Zinc Oxide
Oh man at 4:50 it's $30 for a tiny tube?
And I need to apply it every 2 hours for the rest of my life, even as an office worker?
I can't afford that 🤷
What about ASTAXANTHIN & GHK-Cu ?
Hi Doc, thanks for this. Have you changed your opinion about La Roche-Posay 50+ invisible fluid? Would be interesting to know why as we are ever evolving about our knowledge, thank you. I have bought some Zinc Oxide nano powder and was wondering whether to mix that in with a light moisturiser, might be cheaper for the body?
no red light?
Great Video, thanks from Germany. Do you use AHA/BHA first and wait and put tretinoin /Differin later on? Or do you just mix it together? I think about using a peasize amount tret 0.05 and mix a few drops of 30 percent AHA. What do you think
Never together at the same time.
@@calvinklien4946 In another video he say he uses them together same time
Does raspberry seed oil work as a good dun screen?
Thanks Dr. B-Rad
Do you know why B6, HA, Biotin, and collagen gives me deep cystic acne? I've tried so many different versions but everything gives cystic acne, even though I can see the good moisturizing effects at the same time. (I live in Japan but are caucasian / European)
There is 2 type sunscreen of boj the og and the one u are using, is it okey to used the OG?
I loved the thumbnail. It actually pictures a man (not a female face) for a change
I assume that you apply sunscreen only if you stay outside during the summer and not during claudy days or if you are in the office whole day
Interesting the cerave spf 50 isn’t available in Canada
is this a reupload?
Why are the flagged ingredients not banned?
U missed out on derma roller/ micro needling, massive results with them.
Brad, if active substance is adapelene - that's ok? Or it is only good if it is OG Adapelene™? Also, is 0.1% ok?
And I have atopic skin, is there info on is it even safe to apply retinoids?
I LOVE YOU SOO MUCH!!!!
They’re great. I’d say they’re missing vitamin C.
I am on a budged any tip. Eg skip q day buy or cerave with including suncreen?
did i understand correctly that DrBrad applies first sunscreen then moisturizer? thats a new approach
For chemical sunscreens. Mineral sunscreens should be applied after moisturizer
Your videos are incredible . I just find the delivery too fast and intense . Clearly you put a lot of effort into your delivery . Could you slow down and use some pauses
Could you give your opinion on microneedling, Tom? It's clinically proven to have a large effect and only costs $30 to do at home. Sounds too good to be true but there are double blind studies that suggest that's it's highly effective.
No proof
Sunscreen is not treatment, it is preventative.
What's your take on aging via fluorescent lighting and sunscreen? Jw if it's worth putting on sunscreen if working only indoors with fluorescent lighting and would BoJ be good against it.
Well how do i get rid of linesnon my forehead i never sit in the sun
Can I apply moisturizer with SPF 30 at NIGHT?
Yes you can, i do it since Years. I use Tretinoin first at night , than i use Moistreisur with Elastin pepdite cream from Loreal and over ti i use sunscreen. Works well.
Eucerin Sensitive Protect 50+ spf contains bemotrizonol. Very inexpensive.
This video was uploaded a few months ago, right?
Astaxanthin is also a sunscreen. Maybe help for the whole skin?
Astaxanthin isn’t the same as sunscreen and doesn’t offer the same sun protection factor as even an spf 15, let alone 50. You can take it in conjunction with sunscreen but it’s not a substitute.
Astaxanthin❤
Another option I use is one that has no bad ingredients and fabulously, is NOT in plastic packaging!
30SPF Attitude Natural Care brand "Oatmeal Sensitive Natural" an easily applicable stick sunscreen, comes in a cardboard push up dispenser. This current stick has lasted me about two months (I apply it daily to my face, neck and hands as it's fall/winter here). All in all a very reasonably priced (comparable or cheaper than other brands. If you look it up on EWG's Skin Deep Data Base, you will see that it is an EWG certified product meaning that it meets their standards for health and safety. (btw, this is an amazing resource for everything you might put on your skin, hair, body! you can also look up every ingredient separately to dive deeper into detail of its structure, source, environmental concerns, testing bodies, gov't declarations, etc.)
there's micro vitamin, micro sunscreen and micro-other-creams when?
