I literally wait for this list every year!
I am always in awe of the amount of work that goes into your sunscreen videos, please know your efforts do not go unnoticed! Australian Gold is still my favorite because of your recommendation in the past. I don’t even need to put foundation on most days when I use it! Thanks a bunch!💜💜💜
Do you use the for all skin tinted, or the light, med or dark?
Jennifer Frac-Schmeling I used the all skin tinted-it’s just enough tint to take away the white cast, but I have fair skin, too.
I second this for sure, I live, love Angie's videos and I always admire the effort she puts into it👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Thank you Angie 😘!
Same! I bought the Australian Gold last year after seeing it here, and have been wearing just that with mascara and lip oil, no foundation necessary!
I have been using it as foundation this summer too. It’s just too hot to add anything over it. It’s just such a beautiful finish! Definitely my holy grail this summer!!
Angie, I really like that you divided them into categories of with and without makeup, etc. Very helpful!
Love that you're putting more emphasis on vegan and cruelty free products. Thank you for that. Your continued commitment, genuine and endearing personality, and help wading through all of the products out there is really appreciated. I've been a long-time fan, and I love to see your popularity grow. You deserve it.
Skin cancer prevention is so important! Thank you for doing this! I have a friend who developed melanoma this year! She's of Italian descent and always has a beautiful olive complexion! It's no joke and skin cancer can happen to anyone! We must take every precaution! Much love from Texas!
No we dont. The chances of you getting skin cancer are incredibly small. Stop repeating this lie that if you dont use sun tan lotion that you will get skin cancer. I rarely were skin pretection and i hardly ever get sunburned let alone develop cancer. This myth that if you do not wear sun protection oil on your skin you will get skin cancer must die
Angie, like I said before, I live in the mountains of Idaho and it is so much drier than New England that it affects skin and therefore make up and sun screens ( which we need even more, since we are at 6000 ft above sea level) . The weather is something that everyone should have under consideration. I found Bare republic 30 spf in Walmart it works well under makeup and by itself. I went back and I bought about 5 tubes on clearance in December. I am going to run out soon! I hope they are not discontinued! You know how that happens! Thanks for your work!
I live in idaho and just spent a week up by Stanley and missed one midday reapplication because I forgot to bring my sunscreen with me on a hike...that was a big mistake. The mountain sun really did a number on my face and I'm definitely feeling the consequences. So here I am now trying to be 100% prepared for next time😂
I absolutely adore your sunscreen videos. There is no other youtuber out there who puts this much time and work into sunscreen reviews.
You're also one of the few who actually uses the neccessary amount of product, which I love.
If you're sensitive to fragrance and plant oils, steer clear of the P:REM. It's like wearing a citronella candle on your face and stings like crazy. The Australian Gold tint is perfect for my skin tone, but is extremely drying and almost impossible to remove - even with an oil cleanser I still need a wash cloth.
I love sunscreen. I wear it everyday religiously if I’m going out or not.
Why do you love it though lol? It’s an added layer to the skin. I can see feeling it is “necessary” but to say you love it seems extreme.
TEE-nuh i mean I love it because I know it’s the best antiaging I can do for my Skin because it protects against sun damage and yet the easiest and cheapest antiaging tool. So I love it! I wear it inside as well because my dermatologist says we even get photo aging just sitting inside with windows.
You Mad? 💯
@@MousyLeigh what's your favorite sunscreen???
@@Tina-fi2wy why do you care so much?
My most important criteria is “burns eyes”. Maybe I sweat more than most?? I always grab a marker and label “burns eyes”.
Have you found one that doesn’t sting eyes? That’s my main issue, too. My eyelids swell from tearing. After a couple hours I have to wash it all off to stop the reaction to it.
I don’t sweat though on my face, so it’s not the issue for me, it gets into my eyes even if I don’t place it near my eyes. Quite annoying.
Stephanie Hodges Those are chemical ones; mineral sunscreens won’t burn your eyes
@@hannamialik3060 ha ha, yes they will. I think is not specifically the minerals, but other ingredients, like the fragrance or smth.
Hanna Mialik Sadly, that’s what I use is mineral sunscreens. The chemical ones I gave up long ago. It may be the ‘inactive’ ingredients that are the culprit idk.
I’ve tried many of the same that you reviewed. My absolute favorite is Blue Lizard Sensitive Face. Works great under makeup or on its own. The white from the mineral sunscreen blends in quickly with no chalky look.
Mind if I ask your skin type, because I'm looking for something new to try. Tks.
I made my husband watch this because he does not believe me when i tell how much sunscreen you have to use for it to be effective. Thanks for making him say i was right😅
I ordered the CeraVe Hydrating Sunscreen Sheer Tint on Feb. 29th, per your recommendation. I love it. It's perfect for home use and adds enough color for use under my mask, when I do venture out. Thanks so much for your clockwork posts. They bring rhythm and pace to this strange "open-ended" COVID realm.
Shauna McCarty don’t be afraid to go out. It’s better for your immune system... have you ever been afraid of the flu? Don’t worry. Unless you were immune compromised or over 60.
I love the cerave sheer tint. Happens to be a good shade for my olive skin.
The Cerave Hydrating sunscreen tinted 30spf is AWESOME. I ordered it from USA (to australia) under your reccomendation back in Feb and it's My new holy grail
@@lucyclark1301 I would say yes. Most people don't put enough moisturizer on their face to get the full SPF 30, plus they don't reapply moisturizer during the day. Same goes for makeup with SPF.
@@CJ-bt8jb Same for me. The CeraVe makes me look VERY dark warm orange. The Australian Gold has worked well for me, and now Ulta has it in three shades.
Excited for you to try Purito comfy water physical sunscreen! It’s my favorite for my combo skin! Another I would love for you to test: first aid beauty’s new tinted mineral sunscreen!
Aside from saying great review, as always, I just want to say that you should experiment this summer with wearing less or no makeup. You looked so good in all of these try ons without a stitch of foundation! I’d love to see a look using either no foundation or just a touch of concealer with the rest of your makeup. You have beautiful skin, a shame to cover it up! I know lighting helps but still...jealous that you look so good barefaced! 😉
Yes! Have seen other creators (with younger but less-cared-for skin than yours) doing no-makeup makeup content, but I want to hear that from Angie!
I've mentioned to Angie a couple of times that I prefer her without foundation. She's a natural beauty and I feel the mu covers that up. Even her lip colour looks like she's wearing lipstick. I really think she looks younger without any mu
I have slightly dry skin and I LOOOOOVE the cerave tinted one. It dries back a lot but leaves enough glow to shine through my liquid foundation in the most beautiful dewy way! I love it!!!!
I usually just watch random skin care youtubers when I want to know something but somehow I keep coming back to her. Her voice is so nice and I think I have a little crush on her lol. And her advise always calms me down when I overthink something about my skin care routine
First comment ever in YT...Just wanted to thank you Angie from the bottom of my heart. I am 46 yrs old and I have learned so much from you about skincare and makeup, I can't even put into words. This video was a God's sent as I was creating an order to purchase some sunscreen. Last year my dermatologist removed some skin cancer from my face, so I am super aware now of using sunscreen every day. Thanks for all you do, your thoroughness and your sincerity. Blessings! - btw, my teenager son selected my profile picture :)
Thank you for testing sunscreens, it’s so difficult to find a mineral sunscreen that works under makeup. 👍❤️
Angie thank you SO MUCH for this video! Thanks to you I now use Australian Gold on my face, neck and chest and it is now something I won’t go without. I was shocked to find out I had malignant melanoma and as a southern California girl who loves the sun it has been a huge wake up call so I think you are doing a great service by educating women and men who watch, the importance of sunscreen! Thank you! 💕🥰🙏🏼🌷🌷🌷would you consider doing something lime this for your favorite body sunscreen? Happy Mother’s Day Angie!💐💐🌺🌺🌸
Australian Gold still the holy grail for me. Thank you Angie, never would have found it without you.😊
Do you use the regular tinted for all skin or the light, med,or dark?
I love that one too!
Yes so true, Love the Australian gold 50spf, and Thank you Angie! I to would have never found it without you!
too bad their new tints don't have a "fair" tint. because the old formula is now marketed as "light", while it is still too orange/red for many people with fair skin type.
Imma light medium type gel and the tinted is a little off but once it's on I do a light dusting of a face powder in my normal shade and I'm good all day
I have dry skin and Australian Gold is very drying, don’t like Cerave as it leaves a white cast and has a strong smell. I like La Roche Posay and Avene, they work for my dry skin
me too, it is what I use. I also use Avene when I need 50 SPF. I don't know if that is available in the USA.
I have dry skin too. Australian gold is a lot less drying over cerave moisturizer cream (the stuff in the tub). Cheap and effective combo.
This Cerave is tinted so no more white cast .. their regular hydrating sunscreen (without the tint ) has the worst white cast of any sunscreen ever though lol
Alicia T the tinted Cereve doesn’t leave a white cast but the untinted does it’s gross are you sure it’s the tinted one?
I have dry combination skin (oily nose), and what I currently do is apply Thinkbaby SPF 50 on my face and neck (yes, it leaves a bad white cast), and after a few minutes I apply Australian Gold Tinted SPF 50 sunscreen on top - since it's drying, it slightly mattifies the first sunscreen which is rather oily and makes me look presentable overall (no white cast).
When I finish both bottles, I'll look into other sunscreens though, because I'm sure there are much better out there.
I've been using the CeraVe Hydrating Sunscreen the past few months and I like it. The only thing I've noticed is it burns if it accidentally gets in the eyes. Which would likely be most sunscreens, I'm sure, but I've never noticed any burning with the Australian Gold andn I've been using that for years. I do like them both for different reasons. I loved this break down of sunscreens. You really are the queen of in-depth information on a product, from the before and afters, to the ingredients and so on. Thank you for taking the time you do, putting so much effort in your videos for us.
A non tinted recommendation for the men who watch your channel would be handy too! xx
Tinted doesn't mean it's shiny, it just means it's dyed to not leave a white cast
The pigment in most tinted sunscreens is so sheer it’s really not a big deal.
There are many that aren’t tinted
My holy grail sunscreen is Dermalogica's solar defense spf 50. It can be worn under foundation or worn alone, or mixed with foundation and feels great, also a cruelty free brand!
Sounds lovely, but it's a chemical sunscreen, not mineral.
When I clicked on UA-cam this morning I said man I hope there's something good in my feed...couldn't have asked for anything better! Thank you Angie!
Thanks for doing this video. I am always looking for sunscreen that is wearable under makeup. This video really helps!
Glad it was helpful!
I still stick to Elta MD, Paula’s Choice and Australian Gold. I’ve just recently added Revision’s Intellishade to my arsenal. I’ve basically stopped wearing foundation and just use tinted sunscreens.
Is the revision worth it ?
PCA Skin Sheer Tint SPF 50 & Paula’s Choice Resist Super-Light SPF 30 are best choices.
Which Australian Gold one is it?
I like Revision Intellishade but it is so expensive
@@britnysnyder4991 check the tube, i think AG has only one mineral spf 50 with unversal tint, it nice light-medium.
Purito sunscreen is leaps and bounds above the tinted CeraVe one. It is spf 50, high UVA protection, no smell, no cast. And it is less greasy than CeraVe and I have combination school. CeraVe tint is orange and it rubs off easy, for example on the face mask. purito also makes 100% mineral sunscreen and it is great too. No cast
I love the Paulas choice you recommended! I have combo skin and it just right for my oily t-zone but does not dry out my cheeks. You should try one from Walgreens brand. I think they named it 50 sensitive skin. It provides more moisture than Paula’s Choice but I don’t feel greasy and is a combo physical and chemical.
I cannot thank you enough for doing this video! you actually test these under makeup too, you are so thorough! I recently watched the previous two years videos you did on sunscreen.
Always love this video! The DRMTLGY makes that sunscreen in a tinted version and it’s much more lightweight and has a demi-matte finish and I’m enjoying it! Feels more like the Austrialian Gold but not as heavy.
Shay Singer Oooh, that sounds nice. May have to try!
I didn’t like Australia sunscreen too heavy for me
You're the tops Angie, nobody goes into SO much detail, around the hairline, how long "drying" time is etc. Thanks for being courageous and honest. Namaste, Z
Thank you again for another review that includes details such as price, feel, smell, and application. You have saved my skin from trouble again this year. I also very much appreciate your continue focus on the importance of sunscreen (my mother is off to her 5th surgery for skin cancer today).
You've been busy and endured a lot of greasy face days. Thank you! My go to now is Colorscience tinted for the face and bronze for the body. Cerave will be a great and less expensive easy to find option. xo
When you purchase from Walmart you need to be aware who the third party is that is selling the product. Walmart also sells third party products like Amazon. So just verify if Elta Md is sold by the authorized distributor for their sunscreens. There are a lot of counterfeit items and Amazon is also one of those sites that you have to be careful when you purchase beauty products.
How do you know if it's from an authorized distributor?
totally agree. that's why I never buy health and beauty products from amazon, even though I love the convenience, just to be safe and less hassle.
I always look forward to this video! Thanks Angie! I generally mix my Australian Gold with the Cera Ve and that's been a good combo for me. I just use it as my foundation and add a little concealer after dry down.
I have to try them mixed!! The shade of the AG is a little cool/light for me but with the CeraVe it could be perfect!
@@AngieHotandFlashy Yeah, give it a shot! The CeraVe adds a little moisture to the AG which is much appreciated, especially in the winter. Thanks for all you do, Angie!
You might be onto something. I am going to give this a try.
I mix the Cerave with the Australian Gold as well and love it. The Australian Gold has always been just a little too drying on its own but together the two are perfect.
@@markleycarter9749 Agreed! It's MAGIC!
Just commenting for engagement and algorithm reasons lol. I’ve been wanting to get into sunscreen (sounds dumb, I know) and been doing tons of research. This is the BEST video I’ve seen. Thank you for doing all this buying and testing!!
A young female dermatologist told me in her MD office, maybe 7 years ago, that the SPF is accurately determined by placing sunscreen on the face like frosting on a cake -- that it needs to go on heavy for it to be the SPF indicated. So, Angie, you were right about not skimping on the amount. A pea size amount will cut the efficacy of the SPF, and yes, possibly in half --which the derm also told me.
Thanks for slathering all this lotion on for us. I have all your favorites except for Paula's Choice. I love them all thanks to you. This winter I tried the CereVe un-tinted and didn't like it at all but am going to save it for my body when I'm relaxing on the lake (heaven only knows when it will warm up enough)! Happy Mother's Day - have a great weekend.
You should try the all mineral sunscreen from Purito, it's great! If you're moving into chemical sunscreen from Europe and Asia, there are so many good ones, but one sold in the U.S that I really like is Beet the Sun from Krave Beauty. It's SPF 50 PA ++++ in Korea, but since the filters are not approved in the U.S the U.S version is not technically marketed as a sunscreen, but it is the exact same formula. That one is great along with the rest of the Krave Beauty line! :) Love your videos!
I just bought the make prem fluid 2 weeks ago. And I'm loving it. No stinging on my eyes. Has a bit of white cast but I love it. ❤️
Emerson San Pedro I discovered Prem through angie and love it too.
their sunscreen is wonderful except for the bergamot fruit oil in there. however on their korean website they seem to have renewed the formula and removed most of essential oils from formulation and hopefully soon the new bottles will ship to yesstyle and other retailers.
@@Es3iya thank you for letting me know
Thank you for doing this so that we don't have to! Many of the products you tested this year are products that I had been wanting to try, so your testing just saved me a ton of time and money. I do want to share that I have tried the CeraVe tinted hydrating mineral SPF 30 that was the winner in your 2020 roundup, and although I really like how it feels, it left me looking faintly orange. I have very fair skin with neutral undertone. Just FYI for other fair-skinned folks! I use the Paula's Choice Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense, which I found thanks to your recommendation, as my everyday sunscreen and it works incredibly well - can even stand in as a light coverage foundation on no-makeup days. I have also recently discovered the Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen, which is a chemical sunscreen; I have sensitive skin so I can rarely tolerate chemical sunscreens but this one does not contain the most irritating chemical filter (octinoxate) and I can even use it on my eyelids without stinging! Thanks as always for your work, keep it up!
Cerave’s makes me look orange/tan as well and I am German and have a golden completion already.
Target have a fantastic Beauty Box for May with 6 different types of sunscreens to try for $7!
Thank you for doing this every year, Angie! When I saw the CeraVe on your shelf at the beginning, I was thinking “oh, please, don’t let that one turn out to be terrible, because I really want to get it!” (I really love the Paula’s Choice one that you like, but the price is hard for me to manage). Since my skin is dry (hypothyroidism), I was very happy to hear your results/review! 😎
Go vegan for health and never use cosmetics that are not vegan and tested on animals. You really dont know what you are doing.
@@youlearn3493 , how rude of you to say. Also, I will never voluntarily “go vegan”, and I am quite well educated.
@@JeanieD So you lost and science won. You will never be able to discuss with science, dumb people always have many opinions and the truth=results=science=knowledge=fact is only ONE.
I started wearing the CeraVe tinted this week and loving it! I follow your advice along with advice from Penny Smith and Dr. Dray. I’m always looking for products that the three of you recommend concurrently. You’re the Trifecta of Perfecta for my skin and makeup 😄😄 All of you recommended CeraVe, EltaMD, and Drmtlgy.
Shea Hill hi Shea, I love all 3 of those skincare youtubers as well as Graceful Beauty! Her channel is amazing for skincare advice too and she highly recommends this CeraVe tinted sunscreen too
Love it!!
I was so excited to try the Cerave tinted sunscreen but unfortunately I'm so pale it looked very orange on me. Bummer, I was hoping a less expensive brand would work for me but I had to go back to my fave Exuviance at $44 for 2 ounces! Yikes!
The Cat Lady have you tried Drmtlgy tinted? It’s about $19 on amazon. I’m more similar to Angie’s coloring but I find it a little light on me but the color just blends in and leaves you with this beautiful glass like skin finish. Maybe worth a try since it’s half the price and it’s really not a dark tint. I haven’t tried either of those other tinted ones you mentioned yet so I’m not sure how they would compare though.
@@racheli2598 Thanks so much I'll give it a shot!
Australians were eagerly waiting for that CeraVe SPF 30 but unfortunately they didn’t pass our Sunscreen Regulations and ended up on the shelf as SPF 15!!!! Bugger 😒 That’s NOT enough for our High UV index here. Very disappointed ☹️
Oh my gosh really? that's not good...
I LOVE your review it’s by far the best format I’ve seen! I love the side by side before and afters and you get straight to the point!
Thankyou for being professional and informative. I clicked off of several videos until I found yours.
Love this video! It’s so helpful but call me crazy, I seem to love the greasy and oily sunscreens that moisturizes lol. I have normal to combo skin but more dry in the winter. I love Elta UV sport for this reason and I love the drmtgly tinted sunscreen as well as the sheer tint one you tested. I may need to give the Clinique Pep start a try since it’s greasy but looks good under makeup and the Cerave, I’ve heard Sherry from Graceful beauty raving about this one too!
You are the best I tell all my friends about your channel please don't ever stop doing videos!
The best review of sunscreens I've ever seen.
When Angie first reviewed Australian Gold, she mixed it with Hydropeptide SPF 50 (untinted) to make it more hydrating, so I’ve been doing that. Works great, and I have very dry skin. The CeraVe was way too dark and messy for me, and the Elta was too dark even mixed with the Paula’s Choice. Paula’s Choice alone is fine. I always look forward to the sunscreen reviews, too!
I love these videos on sunscreen! Thank you for all the hard work in putting these together!
I really like the Purito sunscreen. I have mildly dry skin with a somewhat oily t-zone. It doesn’t sting my skin or eyes, I love the elegant moisturizing feel, and I like it under makeup. I wear the WnW dewy foundation. I buy it on Amazon and YesStyle.
Same with me. It works great for me even under make-up
My fave
Hi Angie. Thanks so much for a fantastic and in-depth video on sunscreens. Over here in Qld, Australia, we have the highest rate of skin cancer in the world. At 57 (tomorrow), I’ve had plenty of skin cancers cut out, frozen off, and burnt off over the years. The in thing in the 70s and 80s was to mix brown vinegar and olive oil and I’d spend 3 hrs on each side over the weekends. I was so so brown as a berrie, and boy have I paid for that. I think I’ve been a subscriber here for 3 or 4 years, and in that time Angie, you have really turned my skin around, and I can’t thank you enough. I won’t leave home without my 50+. My skin looks pretty amazing. I juggle between the Prem, neutragena mineral, and Australian skin cancer 50+ tint in which I have to mix 2 colours together which gives alovely glow. I’d love to try the Elta. Still thinking about it, but everything is sooo expensive in Oz. Btw, have to wait til next yr now before I can go overseas due to pandemic. Bummer😭 stay safe and healthy Ang, and sending you sunshine from Oz xxx🌺😊🌞
Oh Angie thank you for these SPF reviews! I had a melanoma off my leg about 13-14 years ago- they got it all but I am pretty set on using good SPF. And I am irritated by the chemical ones so mineral spf is it. But all are not equal.
I have been eyeing the Cerave one & I will pick one up. 👍❤️
Angie, can't thank you enough for all of the research you do and share, and the testing you do for all of us. You are a beautiful gem. I am so grateful for what I've learned from you, seeing it in my mirror every day. I am just starting to take good care of my skin, at age 64, because of you. Thank you.
Dear Angie, thank you for your in-depth reviews, they are extremely helpful and informative. Thank to you and only you I finally incorporated sunscreen into my life. I knew I had to wear SPF many years ago but since my oily skin made me look like a greasy mess with any sunscreen I wore I just gave up this idea completely. So having watched your review on Australian Gold, I decided to give it a try. Not only does it look amazing on my super oily skin, it lasts all day and I love the coverage! I feel like I don’t need any foundation at all! I am forever grateful🌹🌹🌹 Sending love ❤️❤️❤️
My holy grail is also eltamd elements. Im 43 and have dry skin with wrinkles. Love that its not greasy but very moisturising which was my challenge. Looks great alone and with makeup!💜
Thank you Angie!!!! I love the supergoop unseen sunscreen. Feels matte a couple minutes after applying and great under makeup. I also love the Elta MD UV clear. Both amazing with or without makeup. No white cast.
I love the Elta MD Clear. I actually look forward to using it.
Doesn’t protect u from burning tho. Overpriced sunscreen
totally agree about the cerave vs australian gold. such a great improvement, even for those of us with normal/combo skin! thank you for this valuable video every year!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you for this in-depth overview, Angie! I found my fave spf thanks to you, its Australian Gold, and i need no make-up (foundation or setting powder) when using this. I also like Paula's Choice spf that i use occasionally as well as Make P:rem, but latter is slightly irritating (fragrance) and a bit drying for my skin. I've not tried Elta MD yet. The other ones that I like and sometimes use are Niod Survival 30 and Sisheido Anessa mild milk, but both are a bit expensive for the amount you get. Sadly Neutrogena spf is not available in Europe. May try Purito unscented from your trial selection.
I'm another who found Australian Gold because of Angie. Definitely my Holy grail, it works great with my favorite foundation, but it provides a nice coverage on its own.
Where you buy elta md in Eu?
wwaxwork Ditto!!
@@majapik8759 i ve found only amazon
You introduced me to HydroPeptide years ago and it’s still my all time favorite. For me, it feels the nicest and stays the nicest under makeup.
I so looking forward to this video every year. Didn't remember this year to wait and ended up buying Olay Sun Makeup Primer SPF 35, then couldn't find it to repurchase so I bought Olay Complete SPF 30 Oil Free. I enjoy both. I'll have to try your suggests next. Hugs to you lovely Angie xoxo
I purchased the Australian Gold one and I love it! Per your recommendation. Not greasy at all.
Great video - Thanks! ❤️ I’m very happy about the «winner» as I’m able to get it here in Norway and my skin is dry. Yay to CeraVe! 👏👏👏🥰
Finally found the fair to light Australian Gold on Amazon, ABSOLUTELY my new must have! Thank you for the recommendation! Left a review on Amazon mentioning I found it because of you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💜💜💜 On most days I just wear the sunscreen with a light powdering on top. THATS IT. So impressed.
This product is really hard to get your hands. I've been looking for three months. I wonder why.
Amazon sellers have been known to sell counterfeit sunscreens.. just be careful. I learned this the hard way
Love you! I have never seen such a detailed sunscreen review. Truly a beautiful dedicated woman! Thank u🌹🌹🌹
HI Angie - thanks for your exhaustive research on our behalf! Just a note: "reef safe" means the sunscreen doesn't add to the destruction of coral reefs when it enters the water sewage system and eventually goes out to sea (like all things down the drain do). Just thought you'd like to know.
I look forward to your annual sunscreen reviews and appreciate the time and effort you put into them. As heat and humidity has increased, the Cerave has not worked as well for me. It was great in January and February. I might try mixing it with Australian Gold to see if that works better during the summer in my climate.
Annette Harper none of those work for me, I have dry skin
I have normal to dry skin and live in a very warm humid area. I wear Aussie Gold while doing yard work but can't wear it 2 days in a row. Exuviance and Neostrata are pricey but work for me very well under makeup.
Mayb it’s my phone but you look great in pretty much all of them. I couldn’t see the imperfections you were trying to point out. I do appreciate your detailed descriptions. Really helpful.
Out of everyone I watch on youtube, you absolutely give me the best information. I constantly go back to your videos. Still using the Prem sunscreen and love it. It's just too easy. Thank you for all you do! ~Julie
I use the Cerave Sunscreen and I LOVE this one! It is the only one that does not make me break out and gives me a nice sun kissed look !
My dermatologist told me that mineral sunscreen has to have at least 9% of either zinc or titanium to be effective. Some of these don't.
If most of that 9% is titanium dioxide, it won't have enough UVA protection.
Just received my order of ELTA MD 44, thanks to your recommendations which have not ever failed me💕. I have to confess that prior to learning from you, I never wore sunscreen on my face. No wonder there is sun damage that I now am trying to remedy.
Yay, been waiting for this!
I love it that so many of you loo forward to this video every year!!
Sammmeee!
Me too! Yay! :)
@@AngieHotandFlashy A quarter teaspoon is *not* a "ton of sunscreen", in fact take a look at your little measuring spoon, which is that size. Hardly a ton, and probably not enough. That's why you're told to to reapply it so soon, because docs know you don't put on enough in the first place. You need a model to help test these things, since you are nixing many sunscreens on very personal reasons to do with you alone, instead of thinking what the rest of the population your age might appreciate. Also, you shouldn't even allow a sunscreen into this if you can't get the answer to how much of the zinc and titanium are contained in the formula like you did that MakePrem thing last year. It's obvious the winner is going to be what covers your pores.
What are your recommendations for body sunscreen?
I like the Australian Gold but my daily under makeup is Josie Marian’s. I am on my third bottle of that. I find it beautiful under makeup.
I can't believe you didn't love Purito Unscented! It's the holy grail of SPF :D
Thank you!! You've just brought me back into the "safe sun" fold after many years of roughing it because I can't stand having icky, nasty stuff on my skin. Just bought a tube of the winning one and while I normally only wear foundation when performing, I'll just tell myself this stuff IS foundation and will make me look better when I'm outside taking care of my garden, and keep me looking better for longer. Thank you for such a good, thorough job with this review, and advocating for better skin care!
I was just watching your previous sunscreen reviews! If anyone is interested, Dermstore has a sun kit for $35, it includes full size EltaMd uv clear 46, MdSolarSciences mineral spf 50, 1 oz, also a few samples of other products
Zhanna Homeniuk nice! I pay that for just the Eltamd so thanks for the heads up
@@Just-Nikki always happy to share a good deal 😊
Thank you for the update.
I just got the Elta MD tinted sunscreen. I’ve used it twice under makeup and really like it. Thanks for testing all these profits for us.
I found the Cerave to feel good on the skin, as opposed to my favorite Australian Gold, but it never seems to dry down and transfers to my tops. I like Drmtlgy tinted and find that it does set better than Cerave and doesn’t have the strong smell that Drmtlgy clear has. For the two months Ivebeen skipping foundation and just wearing sunscreen on my morning walk.
I bought the Australian Gold a couple of years ago following your recommendation and my oily skin loves it! It is my holy grail.
Thank you for doing this! I hope you do a review of the Purito Comfy Block, their mineral sunscreen. Thanks!
I'd love to see how Angie keeps all of her products organized.
oooohhhhh....drool. I love organizing.
My issue is that so many sunscreens sting my eyes to the point after a few hours my eyelids get swollen from tearing and this occurs even if I don’t place too close to my eyes. But I need sunscreen around my eyes for protection. Wish I could find a true tear free face sunscreen.
urthebest1122 I have the same exact issue! One reason I find a lot of trouble in wearing chemical sunscreens. They irritate my skin and burn my sensitive eyes like CRAZY!!! Mineral sunscreens don't do it as badly, but I still find that I get burning and stinging even with a mineral sunscreen if I get it too close to my eyes, but I need it around my eyes! 🤦🏻♀️
Kayla Hebert Yes, I totally relate and I’ve worn so many - both mineral and chemical. Some worse than others. Which product or products have you used that have been the least irritating? :)
urthebest1122 my personal favorite out of what I have tried is the Olay Complete Sensitive Skin Moisturizer with SPF 30. My skin is very sensitive and acne prone and that one doesn't cause any problems for me. I really love it! It doesn't burn my eyes either, which is a huge plus! That's the one I have purchased time and time again. I've been on the hunt for one that is similar to that one with a higher SPF, though. I love how that one performs on my skin and how well it works under makeup. But I wish it came in an SPF higher than 30! That's the only downside I have found with it! 🙁
SPF 30 is still good, but I personally prefer at least an SPF of 50 on my face! But I've never burnt with that one and it doesn't irritate my skin at all, so I still love it and highly recommend! 😊
Australian Gold is so amazing in this area. I am super sensitive but I can run this all over my eyelids and around my eyes with never a reaction.
@@k.hebert Thanks, I’ll check that one out.
For my dry skin the MISSHA Soft Finish is the best!!!
Leaves skin so hydrated, doesn’t have this terrible glow, great under make up!!!
Cheap :) if you have dry skin - highly recommend!
Does it have a strong scent like the BB Cream?
Stef H no it doesn’t! I actually have chronic migraines and I can’t smell literally anything, and SPF scent gives me headaches so I constantly am trying something new. This has very light smell which disappears in a 10 minutes. I ordered it on eBay it was $12
Definitely worth the price!!! I suggest it to my friends and everyone is loving it!
@@Railfanerguy Hi thank you! Is this a mineral one?
@@user-zt6mb7nf3i I believe...I have super sensitive skin and eyes...if it had any of chemical ones I would react:)
@@Railfanerguy Okay thank you. I hope it works for me. Because I have already two bags of sunscreens that not work on my sensitive eyes. Or makes me more bloated in the face...
Nice it works for you!
Do you use a moisturizer under this?
Your sunscreen and foundation reviews are the best. My wallet appreciates your testing of the products so I don't have to waste my money. Thanks for all of your hard work.
Angie, out of all the ladies I watch on UA-cam, you are the best!! Keep up the great work! Happy Mother’s Day💐
That Prem is the best for me! Thank you for the video of the best sunscreens. I am 35 and been using it since I found you last year! Thanks for helping us prevent skin cancer!
Yay!!! I’ve been on the hunt for this video for the past few weeks! Thank you! 🙏🏼😊🥰
I'm so happy you look forward to it every year!!
Bought the Cere Vie and threw it out because it never dried down and made my skin itch with its heaviness. Am now using one available only through Amazon, Biore UV. Aqua. The ingredients are listed in Japanese, so I am not sure what is in it; however, it is SPF50++++, is light and non drying and dries down beautifully so I am able to wear under makeup or on its own. I highly recommend trying it.
Thanks for such a thorough review! I really love the CeraVe sunscreen. I don't wear foundation but this seems to even out my skin tone just enough so that I kind of feel like I'm wearing makeup. I do have dry/dehydrated skin so the formula works really well for me. I also use Purito's Comfy Water SPF which I really like, but it is not tinted. Not sure what the difference is between that one and the formula you reviewed.
I believe the comfy water is a mineral sunscreen and the one she reviewed is a a chemical one.
Angie I'm a relatively new fan and because of you, discovered Cerave face wash, which I love! Since you encourage sunscreen use every day, I decided to try the Cerave tinted and I love it! Just watched this video and thrilled it made the top of your "new sunscreens" list! I have very, very dry skin, so "greasy" is not too much of an issue for me, but I so appreciate you testing the sunscreens with makeup to see how they perform as this is so important!
You've read my mind.
Just wanted to say I love you you're truly so beautiful and i love love love all your honest caring loving channel. You really are a angel.😘💞💖❤
Thanks so much Michelle!!
Australian Gold is cruelty free and also doesn’t sell to China who requires animal testing. Try to look at Cruelty Free Kitty ‘s website when making choices for cosmetics and related products. It’s very extensive.
Angie - I hope you'll answer my question. For your testing I am assuming you also have serums (c, etc) under the sunscreen? If I use serums, especially the vitamin c, then sunscreen, then foundation I have a huge pilling problem no matter what make up, high end, low end. What is your secret to trying all those sunscreens over your serums and not having ANY pilling with any of those (at least you had not mentioned any pilling). Also a rant, I don't get why people love that Australian Gold - ugh! : ) Thank you for all you do!
Yes this happens to me too and I can't figure out what causes it
As Australian Gold Botanical cannot be purchased in Australia (ironic I know) I've been trying other mineral sunscreens with terrible fails! I didn't realise how few sunscreens are not chemical and they sting the ..... out of my skin. So I'm waiting for my AGB to come from America. I will see if the Cera Ve works for me, but with my liquid foundation (Mirenesse) not much works. Thank you again Angie. You have totally changed my skincare regime, many, many of my products and I always listen to you. Of course we both have different skin types, so I take that into account. Really appreciate your videos, trials, testing and advice. Oh...Happy Mother's Day to you too Angie. Much love from Australia xxxx
It is very unfortunate that the FDA hasn’t updated their list of UV filters to allow more efficient ones from Asia and Europe. US way behind most countries when it comes to UV filters. Non US filters are much more efficient and elegant one the skin; no grease, no cast. You can get some on Amazon. Mineral filters are not as efficient as chemical ones.
Because I also react to chemical on my eyes, I use Australian Gold on my eyes. Since it’s too dry I apply a drop of Marula oil first and then the sunscreen - don’t dilute the sunscreen. Chemical on the rest of my face, neck, ears, décolletage, etc...
And don’t pay more for reef safe as there is no such proof. Listen to @labmuffin she explains it well.
The two types of "screens" perform in totally different ways (reflect vs absorb). Each has their merits. Many people can't tolerate chemical sunscreen due to stinging, burning eyes, etc.
TreeJays There’s more to it then just reflect vs absorb. @labmuffin explains it well in her various videos on the subject. It’s still too bad that the FDA doesn’t take allow better skin cancer prevention with tools - filters - already available to prevent the highest incidence of cancer i.e. skin cancer in the USA.
@@francedangela9556 Hi is this convenient to do? Like around the eyes mineral and the rest chemical? It sounds like a good idear but will it work with make-up? And reapplying. I have very sensitive eyes and afraid that is will mix and come too close to my eyes this way... But i dont like mineral sunscreens...
@@user-zt6mb7nf3i I don’t like mineral either as it isn’t very effective but it’s better than nothing. I have very sensitive , dermatitis prone with bouts of eczema skin and it works for me. I use LRP Anthelios elsewhere on my face, neck, chest, ears. Both work well with makeup;concealer under eyes and foundation. Sine I wear makeup reapplying isn’t an option except on weekends when I don’t wear makeup.
Thank you for your reply! I will try that too. Mineral around eyes and chemical on the rest of my face.
I did not know mineral isn't that effective. I thougth a little less.
Have a good weekend
CeraVe has been my go to and fav for a few months now! I love that you test all these for us and you are very thorough in your critique
