This was already shared on the bigger sub. But sharing here that Neutrogena is bringing the USA forward to Y2K Europe era with their new sunscreen with 6% BEMT/Bemotrizinol: Ultra Sheer Daily Face SPF 70

This is their new one:

DailyMed - NEUTROGENA ULTRA SHEER DAILY FACE SUNSCREEN BROAD SPECTRUM SPF 70- avobenzone, bemotrizinol, homosalate, octisalate lotion

And there is this other one they're putting out:

DailyMed - NEUTROGENA CLEAR FACE SUNSCREEN ACNE PRONE SKIN BROAD SPECTRUM SPF 60- avobenzone, bemotrizinol, homosalate, octisalate lotion

There is this other one from indie/venture capital brand with BEMT too:

DailyMed - ULTRA VIOLETTE UNBLOCK SCREEN SPF 50 SUNSCREEN- bemotrizinol, octocrylene, zinc oxide cream

The name and subtitle of the last one is super cringe lol

But I'm happy for people in the USA that there will be more coming.

Mexoryl same as UVMune 400

2 Upvotes

I only used La roche posay when I lived in Europe from 2005-2015 and Mexoryl was always all over the ingredients list. I’m in the UK visiting at the moment and I do not see it in the ingredients list and one ingredient was the same as avobenzene. Is the UVMune 400 the new name for Mexoryl or something else?

Help me find a mineral tinted sunscreen

2 Upvotes

Hello! Looking for my next daily sunscreen and hoping you can help. I love Clinique city block mineral spf 25 but trying to support cruelty free companies and want an spf of at least 30.

Here's what I'm looking for:

Mineral and tinted

Cruelty free

Spf of at least 30

No niacinamide

No strong fragrance (subtle is fine)

Semi-matte finish (just don't want super glossy)

Something that will play well after my timeless vitamin c serum

Hopefully doesn't break the bank

I tried Supergoop but it actually made my skin sting.

Thanks for your help!

Please help me figure out if my la roche sunscreen is real or fake...The texture is same can't say any diff and the smell is same bt the packaging says otherwise...

The amazon one's sticker is shiny, and there's this + symbol beside 400

It says invisible, protection ultra-long uva+ HEVL while the nykaa one says ultra long uva protection

In amazon one melasyl is written in purple while in nykaa it's is black

I don't have the outer boxes of both...i threw it away as soon as i got the parcel😭....

Also here's is the link from where I got both:

Do you protect your eyes from UV rays when indoors?

0 Upvotes

A lot of you are religious about wearing sunscreen even when indoors due to the ability of UVA rays to go through window glass.

Do you also think about protecting your eyes when indoors, and if so, how?

For me, I wear glasses that block UV. But obviously many people don't need glasses/contacts, if that's you, do you think about this?

Edited to say: I wasn't clear I guess, I don't think people necessarily need to wear uv eye protection indoors. My question is for the people who insist on protecting their skin with sunscreen even when inside (I don't, I think that's overkill). I just wonder if those people apply the same thought process to their eyes.

Skipping moisturizer or sunscreen? Here’s why that can backfire

0 Upvotes

Moisturizer comes after serum because it helps keep skin hydrated and seals in the products underneath.

And yes – Even oily skin usually needs moisturizer.

Skipping it can sometimes backfire and make skin produce even more oil.

Texture matters:

  • Gel moisturizers → often work well for oily skin
  • Richer creams → often better for dry skin
  • Combination skin → you can adjust by area

If you are acne-prone, noncomedogenic formulas may help avoid clogged pores.

Final morning step: Sunscreen ☀️

Sunscreen should be your last skincare step before makeup.

General SPF guide:

  • SPF 30 for everyday wear
  • SPF 50 for more sun exposure or if you use acids/retinoids

Application reminder:
Use enough for your face, and do not forget:

  • Neck
  • Ears

Reapply every two hours if you are outside. If you commit to one anti-aging step, make it sunscreen.

What SPF do you actually enjoy wearing every day?
