La Roche Posay quietly reformulated their “UVMUNE400 oil control fluid” sunscreen. They got rid of Octisalate (thank God!) and (I assume) increased the amount of silica. So hopefully the finish is more matte now. I haven’t tried it yet. There’s also a fragrance free version now.
Unfortunately, the new formula is not fungal acne safe anymore.
They also updated the packaging for the “anti dark spots” sunscreen but there are no changes in the formula.
Anyone tried the new one?

Bepanthen baby/pommade - my love.

It helps me so much

If not cracked lips, than chapped and cracked hands.

If not hands- than fucked up skin barrier .

It even helped my nipples when I applied on them aklief and they cracked as well.

It's thick, it's greasy, but it does amazing job when your skin is fucked up

Be aware - it does have lanolin so not for those which are allergic to lanolin

But otherwise, I freaking love that

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

I used to like using LRP's Anthelios facial mist when I was younger, and since I love all things ISDIN, I thought I'd give their SPF facial mist a go. Unfortunately it feels really greasy on the skin and smells STRONGLY of mosquito spray. I've never seen a sun product that smells like this! When I try it on my face, I try not to breathe for a while because the smell is so overwhelming... I guess I'll try to use it up on my hands, but even then I don't like the feeling!

Isdin also has a product like this called Eryfotona. It is marketed as being specifically against skin cancer, but does it actually make a difference compared to the usuals such as UVMUNE? I had melanoma recently so I'm digging deeper into the sunscreen game this summer

I’m not in the sun much, but I do use Azelaic acid and need a decent SPF just for my face (in those brief exposures to the sun. Is this a good option?

It’s less than 5 euro btw

The dermasence product has a 10% glycolic acid concentration and the Fluff one has an undisclosed salicylic acid concentration (max 0.5% probably).

Has anyone experience with any of these products for as a leave-on solution for back acne? Since most body products with salicylic acid are limited to 0.5% for body use (I know there's a couple of passable 2% salicylic acid products but they're always in a toner format and leave a very sticky residue on the skin, therefore I would rather have a cream).

My research indicates that 10% glycolic acid would be much more effective than 0.5% salicylic acid (even if applied 2x per day), but I'm wondering if anyone had experience with any of these leave-on products, or any others.

P.S. - I'm aiming to conjugate this with the new L'oreal 2% salicylic acid body wash.

Hi! Sorry if this breaks some rule, but I really need recommendations for an alternative on this particular product. It caused me so much breakouts on my forehead that I thought I was hitting puberty once again. I have bit oilier T zone.

I am from Serbia.
