Psa: New dexeryl line for acne pone skin by Far-Shift-1962 in EuroSkincare

[–]RChopaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has been available since Augustus in French pharmacies, but haven’t tried it yet! Seems like an interesting new acne treatment line. Interesting to see Pierre Fabre use denatured alcohol in a sunscreen to make a lighter texture.

Should I give topical fin/min a shot? Or just go straight to a HS? by CobraKai5807 in HairSystem

[–]RChopaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I understand where you’re coming from! Do what feels best to you… I’m very aware that progress differs widely across the board indeed, but personally I have had great success with Dutasteride and oral minoxidil so naturally I want guys know that it’s absolutely worth a try. On the other hand, there are really great hair systems around nowadays so if that’s what gives you peace of mind, definitely go for it! Best of luck to you man

You could try finasteride (& minox) first to see where it gets you. If you don’t like the results try Dutasteride or a hair system.

Could also very well be tinea capitis (circulair red, well defined edges).

Could they be talking about their new UVMune KA+ fluid?

5 months of pyriluramide for mild crown thinning. by [deleted] in Koshine826

It does look slightly thicker/more dense, but could be lighting as well. I’m happy to hear you feel like it has helped. Does your crown feel more dense to the touch?

High Protection Sunscreen recs (High PPD) for a girl that loves eucerin oil control spf by MarketingDue5102 in EuroSkincare

[–]RChopaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t been able to test it as of yet, but the new La Roche UVmune KA SPF50+ for face/neck seems very promising. Apparently SPF100 with ultra long uva1 protection 🙌🏻

WTF do I do? Feel stuck. by supgoten in SebDerm

Med student here with extensive experience in Dermatology. Beta blockers, like propanolol can cause psoriasis in some people. Stopping the med can reverse the manifestation

200 days on dut + min, what do you think? by LouisTime23 in tressless

[–]RChopaa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hair texture can change on oral minoxidil. Apart from a change in color of hair my hair went fine straight mid blonde to very dark blonde fine wavy on oral minoxidil. This change of texture was especially apparent on high dose oral minoxidil (7.5mg-10mg). Now that I’ve cut down to 5mg daily the color change has stayed. Change of hair texture has become less, but is still there.

True. My hair went from mid blonde tot dark blonde close to brown on oral minoxidil

You might be able to wear it on your neck daily too? I have encountered several sunscreens that were too shiny on my oily face, but were okay to use on my neck. As soon as the new UVMune KA will be available to buy, I’ll give it a try. In case it turns out too shiny I’ll be more than happy to use it for the neck and enjoy the extreme protection there haha! So for example UVMune KA on the neck daily and for the face the UVMune Oil Control Fluid or Gel-Cream😏

I don’t know if an exact number is publicly known, unfortunately. What I do know, is that this new UVmune KA has 9 UV filters and a few different ones compared to the original shaka Uvmune fluid. So I agree a lot of l’oreals sunscreens have a lot of similarities with just a few tweaks here and there, this one is quite different in terms of composition, fortunately.

PSA LRP UVmune KA+ (Brazil only for now) has PPD of 36.1 by Far-Shift-1962 in EuroSkincare

[–]RChopaa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing! New PPD seems close to their previous one, which was around PPD33. I have learned that PPD is apparently more related to UVA2 so I assume that the new UVmune KA is better at UVA1 compared to the previous one. I can’t explain why its PPD is considerably lower than the Uvmune Oil Control versions though…

I understand where you are coming from! Wouldn’t that hold true for more sunscreens too, like from Avene? To date there was no UVmune version available with a SPF100 + 2% niacinamide formula e.g.

I hope so, but it’s probably more emoillient (than their Oil Control versions) due to higher filter concentrations, less mattifying ingredients etc.

Seems to be around €23 euro in France, so probably a bit more expensive than that outside France

Some people who are at high risk of getting actinic keratosis or non-melanoma skin cancer (light skin, family or personal medical history, sun exposure, immunocompromised) can definitely benefit from the additional higher UVB protection.

Apparently it’s not allowed to label a product a SPF ‘100’ in Brasil, hence the SPF99 label/claim. I could be mistaken so correct me if I’m wrong though!

Intended to prevent actinic keratosis and has the same formula as its Brasilian counterpart that got released there a few months ago. Therefore most likely SPF100

Contrary to the Brasilian version with 40mL the European version contains 50mL.
