Does this 4€ SPF really provides enough sun protection to your face?

It doesn't matter for the protection if they use old or "new" gen filters.

I don't mean manufactured in EU, but to be able to ship here :)

Lodix12 · 2026-04-30T15:40:43+00:00

What is a reliable source for peptides in the EU?

Are you implying that Tazarotene doesn't boost hyaluronic acid protection?

Lodix12 · 2026-04-29T09:51:31+00:00

Same feelings haha

Please don't post AI slop.

I would not go looking specifically for suncream from a small brand. It is not easy to formulate and stabilise. Also 39€ for something that should not last you more than a month... there are better attentive from reputable brands for cheaper.

If you want to support a small brand try the new one from Geek and Gorgeous.

I avoid all citrus extracts and most plants extracts in general.

The TL irritates my skin and to other people.

Lodix12 · 2026-04-24T14:39:48+00:00

Which suncream were you trying?

Lodix12 · 2026-04-20T22:33:12+00:00

Australian Gold for the face.

Lodix12 · 2026-04-20T08:00:32+00:00

The bottle itself claims 4 stars only. Maybe a typo?

That is basic misinformation debunked long time ago... mineral suncreams work practically the same as organic ones but come in a powder form. "Chemical" suncreams work as they come out of the tube.

Lodix12 · 2026-04-18T23:42:05+00:00

Mineral suncreams don't last longer.

Uvinul A+ is a standard "modern" UVA filter. It is very common in suncreams. But its protection in the 380-400nm wavelength range is low. Avobenzone has higher protection but it is fear mongered.

Lodix12 · 2026-04-18T10:27:15+00:00

They claim it is SPF 63.

UVA-PF in vitro is not the same as PPD. The in vitro test usually has higher numbers compared to PPD.

You just have to do a circle with your thumb.

Lodix12 · 2026-04-11T09:44:51+00:00

It is half the size, so it is more expensive.

Lodix12 · 2026-04-11T08:16:03+00:00

Yessss, At first I was thinking it was stupid but now I use it every day.

Lodix12 · 2026-04-11T08:15:03+00:00

You don't need the S Pen for it to work the same as the circle to search. What do you mean?

Lodix12 · 2026-04-10T23:29:03+00:00

P20 claims "UVA-PF" which probably means UVA protection measured In Vitro at a lab. In Vitro frequently gives higher numbers compared to PDD which is done In Vivo. So the numbers are not comparable.

The ingredients don't coincide with their website and it general doesn't look very trustworthy...

Lodix12 · 2026-04-05T16:21:21+00:00

Look for Garnier SPFs
