The Altruist Dermatologist SPF 50 sunscreen lotion works well. I even used it on my recent trip to Vietnam!

Bad. Don't use.

Obagi Medical Sun Shield Matte SPF 50 (silver tube) sunscreen lotion (★★★★★)

April 15, 2024April 15, 2024Leave a comment

A very high performing sunscreen, but could be due to the thicker nature of the formulation.

A lackluster SPF 50. Performs more like a very strong SPF 30-40.

A disappointing and very inconsistent performer. Do not buy.

Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protector Wet Force SPF 50 sunscreen lotion (★★★★★)

Wet Force Ultimate Sun Protector. Like a Japanese superhero coming to save you from the sun. I kid, but it really does!

Missha Soft Finish Sun Milk SPF 50+ PA+++ sunscreen lotion (★★★★★)

October 26, 2022October 27, 2022Leave a comment

With a consistency like milk, this Missha Sun Milk protects exceptionally well. Whether it withstands use in an active environment however, is questionable.

CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion with SPF30 Sunscreen (★★)

June 2, 2022September 26, 2022Leave a comment

The CeraVe is primarily marketed as a facial moisturizing lotion, yet also contains a broad spectrum SPF30. I set out to test its UV blocking effectiveness.

Precious Mineral Etude House B.B. Cream SPF30 PA++ Blooming Fit review (★★★★)

February 15, 2022September 26, 2022Leave a comment

Despite the bad looking sample, the Etude House BB Cream SPF30/PA++ works well as a sunscreen.
