I was at Kroger yesterday and was speaking to an older gentleman. He was buying some hygiene, and I asked him about the sunscreen he picked out. He said he's been using sunscreen for years and doesn't leave the house without it. My husband jumped in the conversation, saying she doesn't leave the house without it either. He bought the neutrogena spf 60. He has really great skin. It made my heart happy!

Interestingly...L'Oreal USA website advertises it as '12% [Niacinamide + Amino Sulfonic + Ferulic Acid] Dark Spot Serum' and the Swiss website mentions '...7,5% de niacinamide + 2,5% d'acide sulfonique'.

Thank you so much Doctor Andrea for taking time to review these products for us 😇.

thanks for making these videos dr dray! i'm a beauty advisor and get to try a lot of these products for free to help sell them, but your videos always help me understand the science behind the products more and offer better advice to customers rather than just my own thoughts on them. i did get to try this sunscreen! it was nice except for it stinging around my eyes

I bought the L'Oreal Bright Reveal sunscreen that Dr. Dray reviewed. It is a bit pricey but I bought it on Amazon so I could use credit card reward points to defray the cost. I also bought HaruHaru Wonder Black Rice Moisture Airyfit Daily Sunscreen to give that a go. I've had a miserable time finding a facial sunscreen that I like. 🙃

Good morning Dr. Dray Slay 💕

I love L'Oréal but they're so darn expensive these days. I literally gasped when I saw the Revitalift Laser night cream for a whopping $30 at Guardian (our drugstore here in Malaysia). But I got it anyway for my mom since she is a faithful fan for the past 20 years and her skin is amazing.

I haven't tried these. I do like L'OREAL and their products. Dr.Dray, you have so much knowledge that I feel like it these could be medical school lectures. IN A GOOD WAY.

I can't speak about the serum but i purchased the sunscreen about a month ago and i absolutely LOVE it!! Perfect for my mid 60's slightly oily skin. Amazon has it at a more reasonable price.

Happy Tuesday Dr Dray…see you tomorrow x💙🤩

Thanks for the info!

We can count on you to understand the labeling!! You are the BEST!!

The German version of the Bright Reveal serum says 7,5% niacinimide

I just started using the L'Oréal sunscreen since I read that it's oil free (I have very oily skin in humid Mediterranean weather) and it's working perfectly during my working day in the office and for running daily errands. Thank you as usual, Doc

Yes, we used HEPES a lot in microbiology & biotechnology labs. It's a staple buffering agent

I like L'Oréal but they have to join the no fragrance train if I'm gonna consider something like this

I was about to buy these yesterday , but didn't & now I'm courious 🤷🏼‍♀️ Have a beautiful day Andrea 💝 Lots of love out there 💞

good morning dr dray!💘

This serum product was very effective to remove a sunspot on my face that a chemical peel only partially helped. Very rare I can say a topical product helped. Spots were gone after 3 months or so of use.

Im using the serum for some time, before the hype. And Im liking it. The sunscreen smell, I think the Nivea ones got more of that smell, but I like it, cause it reminds me of summer time 😅

In the EU the serum is advertised with 7.5% Niacinamide and 2.5% Amino-Sulfonic Acid; the color of the serum itself is pink.

Good morning Dr Dray ❤

Morning!

Nivea has one that I want because I saw several reviews working, that Nivea Luminous 630 serum. It's cheaper than the Eucerin whitening one. That one from L'Oréal doesn't exists in Brazil yet.... But we have serums from Brazilian brands with blend like that, and it doesn't work in a short time like the one from Nivea. Both have 30ml with not a huge price difference.

I tried several niacinamide serums between 5 and 10% and i never noticed a difference. I switched to the isntree hyper niacinamide 20 serum and its a game changer 🤩 i use it every morning with zero issues 😊

I'd love to see a review of Eucerin's Anti-Pigment line.

I LOVE the serum! I get so many compliments on my skin and I notice a brighter and even skin tone with it. The sunscreen, however, is terrible.

Ha! Yes! I used to culture cells and have used HEPES!! And yep it’s a standard buffer used in media! ❤ but we pronounced it “hee-pees” 🤷🏼‍♀️ but I’ve heard it pronounced both ways.

Wet bread won't toast!! Has nothing to do with what is making the bread wet!! Many blessings!!!💖💖💖

Hep works as an exfoliator also, plus look at the inci list to get an idea where niacinamide lands to see an approx %

You could probably just do a search like, dr dray tinted sunscreen, to find videos. There are also derms like Dr. Sam Ellis who have melasma and have videos. Or another search like, dr tinted sunscreen melasma, for videos.

I also felt a sense of cringe when the ultra-violet-toaster overly simplified the effects of the sun in this ultra-simple way and crossed the line into nonsense. That's also why I'm so grateful to you, Doc: Your balance between clarity and depth of content is just right for me. Because you're able to formulate clear, concise messages for me as an average person that still have the level of sophistication and relevance that keep me curious and challenged intellectually although I'm not so well educated.

Does it fade the spots for anyone that tried it?

I liked sunscreen with vitamin C better than this one, this one has a tendency to pill in the beard area. But it also looks really matte. Overall a really good sunscreen

What is your personal reason for preferring a dewy/shiny look? I’ve come to embrace it at this point

I think the reason they don’t promote resorcinol or melasyl in this new serum is because they basically made the same product with La Roche-Posay Mela B3 serum and they wanna use those ingredients to market that one.

I have both. The niacinamide serum applies nicely and smells OK. Still waiting for more even skin tone and texture. (I'm on week 3 so still early.) The spf was not it for me: too greasy, sticky, noticeable white cast on my light tan face plus it stung my eyes. I used both and my skin pilled despite being the same brand and marketed together 🤷🏻‍♀️. I haven't had issues with PC ultra light daily hydrating spf (from the clear line). My oily skin really likes that spf and layers extremely well with makeup.

Hi Dr. Dray What kind of tinted sunscreen in the Europe market would you recommend? I have such a hard time finding one that soothes my skin. Don’t like too much shine or too matte. Need heeelp!!

They get a thumbs up just for having a sunscreen in the collection itself, a lot of people on social I notice don’t think sun protection is necessary even if they have dark spots.

How odd... In EU I can only find a different version of this sunscreen: it is 50+ (not simply 50) and perfumed. Moreover, it leaves a semi matte finish, not at all shiny. It has a fine texture but for some reason - after a few days of constant application - it started to make my skin feel dry, especially around the eyes. It's not a bad sunscreen though

What would you recommend for someone who is outside looking for a similar affect without the shiny face. I'm someone that struggles with vitiligo so need something ASAP with a protector like SPF and anti age that doesn't hurt some of my non pigmented areas. I've noticed that this can be an issue

Both products don’t have many of the beneficial ingredients in Europe. The serum in particular has just 10% combined niacinamide and hepes and they say on the website niacinamide is 7,5%. I feel like this launch, right before they announced melasyl through la roche posay, is just to make dark spots feel like the next big enemy and ultimately push people towards the LRP serum that’s crazy expensive (here it’s double the l’oreal) as it’s marketed as “the revolution”. I must admit that serum is very nice tho

I had one acne on my cheek in February that healed with a red mark and the mark refuses to go away. I wanted to like niacinamide because it's stability but I am giving up on it and will continue with vit C + E + Q10 for antioxidants (these are in a single product I use in the morning)

This product ( the serum ) is so packed with fragrance that makes it unusable. And I am not even sensitive to fragrance usually.

the sun screen dosen't work under all foundations I found when wearing this I only wear my beautiful skin foundation xx

In Europe the line has two sunscreens, a cream in a pot and the fluid. I bought both as they were 50% off and my skin is loving them but the fragrance in Europe is strong, and smells so so cheap. Why are brands doing this?

I tried the sunscreen, but I only used it twice and don't plan on using it again. It smells like alcohol and it burns. I know everyone's skin is different, but for me I just can't use it.
