Quick review of my two most recent sunscreen purchases
The new UVMune Fluide KA SPF50+ (Europe)
Pros:
- 9 (!) UV filters, including Mexoryl 400 for ultra-long UVA protection
- Super high protection (SPF100+) for skin prone to actinic keratosis
- 2% niacinamide and 2% panthenol
- (nearly) invisible on my Flitzpack 2 fair skin. It’s has a slight yellow hue, probably due to the high concentration of uv filters and Mexoryl 400.
Cons:
-Too greasy for daily wear on my face when applied in correct amount (1/4 teaspoon or 1.25ml)
-Slightly yellow hue, but the yellow cast is way less visible on my skin than any Avene Triasorb sunscreen, but also way less yellow than their new UVMune Anti-Dark Spot Fluid SPF50+, or any sunscreen containing Tinosorb M or Zinc/Titanium Oxide.
-Very intense staining on light fabrics/clothing
I use this as my new neck sunscreen when wearing dark(er) clothes this summer and really enjoy knowing it offers superb protection. I can easily apply it to my neck in the correct amount (1/4 teaspoon or 1.25ml)

The new UVSport Invisible Refreshing Mist SPF50+ (Europe)
Pros:
- Applies easily
-Protects really well during intense sunlight even when underapplied
-I went alpine hiking recently and used this as my primary sunscreen for neck and body. I didn’t burn at all and hold up very well when sweating
-it’s fragranced, but I enjoy its scent
-doesn’t stain clothes or fabrics
Cons:
-leaves a slight white cast in my light skin, which increases with reapplication
-collects and slightly pills in creases like elbows and neck
