Great video! The SPF 40 sensitive one is my holy grail favorite. I love it for my dry skin even though I don't have sensitive skin. The formula is beautiful. I really don't like the primer one, but I could see how some people might like it with different skin types. :) Also, so few people ever talk about Cotz mineral sunscreens! Great video! Thank you!
these sunscreen reviews are SO helpful! Especially for sunscreen brands that make a variety of products and it can be hard to tell them apart. Have you tried any coola products? I'm especially interested in the mineral formulations because my skin is sensitive to chemical sunscreens.
Of course you would have a review on the entire cots sunscreen line! I was thinking about buying one of them and was thinking I probably wouldn’t find a comparison of all their products when I searched UA-cam but... Abbey to the rescue! Love all your videos!
Thank you for the review! I first tried the Cotz Pure Botanicals, but it’s a bit on the oily side, and it’s more for the body. I absolutely love the sensitive formula, and just purchased the Prime and Protect and Sport. They sent a sample of the Flawless Complextion too. Love your in depth reviews!
ULTA is having an in app only sale today on spf's including Cotz. I just ordered the giant Sensitive tube for in-store pickup (no minimum needed and no shipping $) and I used the coupon. For it for $14!!
I use the COTZ Sensative SPF 40 for my body and love it! It's the only body sunscreen I've found that is water-resistant and dries to a non-sticky finish. Love your sweater in this video!
Great review as always! I agree with your last point in simple and short ingredient list might mean less chances of irritation. I have very sensitive and acne prone skin and most things break me out. I've been using Elta MD UV physical and haven't had any problems even on my worst skin days. It's just a basic tinted mineral sunscreen with minimal ingredients in it. Then I tried the Paula's Choice tinted mineral sunscreen, it's also fragrance free but has a lot more "skin loving" ingredients and every time I try it it breaks me out. I just got the Cotz tinted SPF 50 and haven't tried it yet. Hopefully it won't cause any irritation for me
@@AbbeyYung Please do! Your brand reviews are always really helpful. The Elta MD pills on me and it's very drying. The Paula's Choice one applies really smoothly and has almost no cast on my medium to tan skin. I was really bummed that it broke me out
I’m such a fan of sunscreen now thanks to you, Hyram, and Dr. Dray. Can you review the new Versed sunscreen? I’m very curious about it since it looks like it would be people of color friendly. I prefer mineral sunscreens but of course hard to find one that doesn’t leave a prominent cast. Currently using MDSolarScience and although I enjoy it, it can leave a purple hue to my skin. Thanks for sharing and love your top! 💙💚💜
8:00 I think CoTZ labels their INCI based on alphabetical order instead of %, which is pretty annoying since you can't tell what the main base of the SPF is. It's most likely dimethicone or another silicone, but in this case of finding out the potency of Vitamin C and E, you can't really tell. I think SPFs are exempt from the standard form of denoting INCI lists because they're sold as an OTC drug as opposed to a regular cosmetic in the USA
Abbey: “it gets so humid here in Minnesota” Me: *laughs in Floridian* But forreal, you’re beautiful on the inside and outside Abbey! Thanks for reviewing these sunscreens :))
Ive been using the Flawless complexion since last summer and it leaves no cast on brown skin. I just hate that it makes me look greasy. I have normal to dry skin & like a nice dewy look but this looks like someone put a magnifier on my pores. So Im looking for a mineral spf that doesnt have me shiny with a better price point.
@ 6:00 you mention the two products are so similar. The tinted SPF 40 has too much pigment on my fair skin as opposed to the lightly tinted SPF 35 - big enough difference it is important for the brand to sell both. Glad they have been selling both for so long.
Thank you so much for this video. I have recently discovered Cotz and am obsessed lol it’s awesome to see their products in action so I know what to buy!!!!
Great video! Can you do a before gym skincare and after gym routine? I struggle with either doing nothing before or finding a nice sunscreen to wear while working out. I've been working out in my garage with the door open due to corona closing my gym. Thanks!
Hey, thanks for the review. I’ve using the tinted spf 40 sunscreen primer for some times. It’s very nice since I have tan skin tone and it looks natural and not greasy at all. But one thing I hate is to reapply this sunscreen. It peels off the previous layer so easily/badly. I’d rather not to reapply using this. I don’t know how to properly deal with this situation. Have you tried? Please let me know if you feels the same
Thanks for your great videos! When you say that the Cotz Sensitive has a "traditional sunscreen feel", what do you mean? The sunscreens I've tried have varied a lot in how they feel, so I don't really know what a traditional sunscreen feel is.
So I’m picturing the sunscreens I used to use on my body growing up! Ocean Potion is what we always had. Not super thin & runny, but also not thick in the way that some mineral sunscreens can be! Right in between- medium thickness, feels really nice to blend out!
Hi Abby thank you for the in dept review,I enjoy your content and you are becoming one of my favorite UA-camrs to watch.i have tried the cotz non tinted sensitive face and body SPF 40and found it to leave my skin a bit too shiny and dewy for my skin,does the prime and protect one dry down all the way matte?I'm looking for all mineral sunscreen with no shine or dewy effect. Thankyou
I would love to know your thoughts on medical grade retinol like Skinmedica, obagi etc. I’m currently using skinmedica retinol complex 0.25 it would be nice to know if it’s even worth using lol and where do you get all of your cute casual tops like the one you’re wearing? You’re the cutest
You are stunning !! 🤩 love your vids ! What is your daily routine? Am and pm ? What do you think about the first aid beauty new Spf 30 ? It’s clean I like it ;) just bought a tube . So expensive though but I think a good quality Spf is key !
Didn't you have a video where you reviewed several different mineral sunscreens and talked about the importance of them? I wanted to re-watch that video but I can't find it :(
@@AbbeyYung No I remember watching a video you made (almost positive it was you!) about mineral sunscreens (and not strictly tinted sunscreens) that I really enjoyed. Did you recently switch any videos to private?
Hi Abbey! Which one do you prefer in the Drmtlgy non-tinted sunscreen or the Cotz sensitive spf 40? I am trying to compare which is more greasy feeling on the face. I have used the Drmtlgy sunscreen and it could sometimes get tacky on me.
Abbey u should review Slurp lab's Niacid and Hyaluid. Their ads blew up my time-line so I ended up purchasing the Niasid, but i also just started a retnoid so I'm afraid to incorporate it just yet. There are few to no quality reviews out there for it yet🤗
Hello all, wondering if anyone can compare this first product (tinted spf 40) to the Colorescience sunforgettable whipped mineral sunscreen spf 30. Thanks 😍🥰
I tried the sensitive version and it does not leave a white cast at all and I have neutral tan skin but it left a siliconey feel on the skin that did not go away if that helps.
Marlene B thank you! yeah i’ve been using the face moisture version from cotz for a while so i’m very familiar with the texture of their sunscreens lol

I live in Hawaii and got the Cotz sensitive sunscreen and love it under makeup everyday. It blends well with my moisturizer and acts like a primer!

Just found your channel and love how you do product line reviews! Super helpful when trying to differentiate between the various formulas. Thank you!!
Hi Abbey. Thanks for the detailed sunscreen review. I’ve been wondering about that brand.
Also, your sweater is so cute!
Take care.
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you it’s from Target 🥰
I love silicones in my makeup, looking forward to trying the primer!
Wow your videos are really becoming the gold standard on information. Great job. I’ve been searching for a video on this line. 👍👍
I agree! Super well researched!

I just received my cotz prime and protect spf 40 tinted today from Amazon n its pretty good.
Glad you like it!

It’s definitely not ideal for reapplication! Kind of works best for me as a base layer & then I’ll use others to reapply
works best if skin is heavily moisturized before hand then apply immediately after skincare!
The sensitive one is right up my alley
Really great review - the compare and contrast across products was spot on!
So glad to help!
@@AbbeyYung thanks to you I knew to get the prime and protect! Sending you positive vibes and more power to your channel!

Are silicone based products actually that bad? Could you please talk a little bit more about silicones in skin care?

What's on your nails, please? Love that colour. Thank you. And thank you for the reviews!
Hello! New to your channel. I appreciate your fragrance-free stance on skincare!
How does the Flawless Complexion one wear under makeup?
Yay welcome! 😊 they all work well for me under makeup!
Thank you for the detailed review!
Great CoTZ Mineral Sunscreen Review, Abby!❤️❤️
😊
Thanks!
Hi Abbey! I am 35 years old trying to find a good tinted moisturizer. Do you recommend? If you do which one? Thank you in advance!
I just use tinted SPF for that! My tinted SPF video has my faves 😊
I wish the sport formula was plant-extract and oil free. It seems like the most price friendly one.
May i know which would you suggest for oily acne prone skin and does not leave a white cast?
I don’t understand why these companies even make a sunscreen that is NOT water resistant? It doesn’t make much sense.
Hi
Do you think the cotz sport spf 45 will be good on a darker skintone?
You are stunning !! 🤩 love your vids ! What is your daily routine? Am and pm ? What do you think about the first aid beauty new Spf 30 ? It’s clean I like it ;) just bought a tube . So expensive though but I think a good quality Spf is key !
Thank you! ♥️ I have videos up on both of these 😊 I haven’t tried that one yet!
Thank you for this video!
love your sunscreen videos! Have you tried revision intellishade tinted or md solar sciences spf 30 tinted?
Thank you!
Do you do your skincare prior or post morning workout?
Post!
Would you recommend the flawless complexion for acne prone skin/sensitive? And is it good to reapply??
I have acne prone sensitive skin & had no issues but everyone's skin is different! Yes it is
Didn't you have a video where you reviewed several different mineral sunscreens and talked about the importance of them? I wanted to re-watch that video but I can't find it :(
I have a tinted mineral sunscreen video! That one? ua-cam.com/video/Mnej_WyZhTE/v-deo.html
@@AbbeyYung No I remember watching a video you made (almost positive it was you!) about mineral sunscreens (and not strictly tinted sunscreens) that I really enjoyed. Did you recently switch any videos to private?
I’m not sure what that would’ve been! I don’t have any videos on only mineral sunscreens
Good info

DRMTLGY for sure! It’s much lighter weight- I just love that formula!!
Thank you for taking the time to reply! 😊
@@AbbeyYung is that a mineral one? Many thanks
Love your reviews😍😍😍
🥰🥰😍
What is that beautiful nail color?
I did not know iron oxides helped prevent melasma!
thank youuu
Abbey... WHERE DID YOU GET THAT SWEATER!? ❤💛💚💙💜
Target 😍
Love it!
Abbey u should review Slurp lab's Niacid and Hyaluid. Their ads blew up my time-line so I ended up purchasing the Niasid, but i also just started a retnoid so I'm afraid to incorporate it just yet. There are few to no quality reviews out there for it yet🤗
Love the sweater! Can't seem to find it online though. What brand is it?!
Pardon me, did I see you add sunscreen to your eyelids? Doesn't it seep through?
Are these ingredients listed in alphabetical order instead of order of intensity, i.e., quantity of ingredient listed high to low?
They are listed in alphabetical order. Not by concentrations.
I'm surprised she continues to make this mistake in her reviews.
I love your videos! can you please upload a natural make up tutorial and one for toning arms? Also I love all of your skincare videos :)
🥰 I will add to my list!
Hello all, wondering if anyone can compare this first product (tinted spf 40) to the Colorescience sunforgettable whipped mineral sunscreen spf 30. Thanks 😍🥰
is there a white cast for the sensitive version?
I tried the sensitive version and it does not leave a white cast at all and I have neutral tan skin but it left a siliconey feel on the skin that did not go away if that helps.
Marlene B thank you! yeah i’ve been using the face moisture version from cotz for a while so i’m very familiar with the texture of their sunscreens lol
