Sun allergy (Polymorphous light eruption, PMLE)| Q&A with dermatologist Dr Dray

I had searched the skin aqua to buy on eBay but there are so many different packaging (blue, pink, white, yellow).. not sure if you recommend all of these or just the yellow one?

Anyone know anything about Neoretin gel cream spf 50?

I bought the Bioderma one and sadly my skin is literally oilier than before.... :(

Im glad I found this channel !! you are so well informed and helpful!!! appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I purchased the Mentholatum Skin Aqua Uv. my skin is so oily and complicated!!! I was also looking for a cleanser and watched your other video and I think im going to try the Cera V products!!! Thank You Dr Dray !!!❤💫

Hi Dr Dray, I am seeking a SUNSCREEN RECOMMENDATION for a very complex situation. I am 31 yet still have rather acne prone skin and I also have melasma/chloasma (it first started when I STOPPED taking the OCP a few years back (?go figure) then got much worse during a recent pregnancy). I live in Cairns, Far North Queensland, Australia. The State of Queensland has been dubbed the skin cancer capital of the world. It is also insanely HOT and HUMID for at least half the year. I HATE wearing sunscreen in this climate due to the horrible oppressive feeling on my pores and also the awful breakouts that follow each application, however I know that without sunscreen my melasma will of course get much much worse. I only have the melasma on my face (thank goodness!). I've seen a dermatologist - consult lasted about 3 mins, I don't think words and conversation are his thing. Almost seemed to be blocking any questions I might have with his bedside manner. He gave me a script for 5% hydroquinone 4% kojic acid 0.1% tretinoin 0.1% dexamethasone in liquid base which I had made up by his favourite compounding pharmacy on the other side of the country - they have perfected their recipe over many years. After 2 applications before bed on 2 consecutive nights and aggressive sun protection afterwards my whole face peeled off, turned bright red and drove me crazy with a horrible burning sensation. I know redness and peeling was to be expected but I had no idea just how severe it might be. I called his office and didn't get to speak with him but was issued with a new script for the same thing minus the kojic acid. Got pretty much the same reaction after going through the same process again and am terrified I've now made the malasma worse with all the inflammation to my skin. I'm now trying to gradually expose my skin to this treatment and have tried putting it on for 30 mins on 2 consecutive days but am really wanting to find a sunscreen to use which will provide adequate coverage without causing further acne breakouts/inflammation and in turn more melasma. After watching this video it would seem that Mentholatum Skin Aqua UV might be the best option for me. What do you think? Are there any others you can recommend? In terms of skin tone I am caucasion/fair but tan fairly easily and at the moment my face doesn't look very fair due to all the melasma. I don't like the white cast look or the sensation of a heavy layer on my skin but would be willing to deal with these things if it meant a breakout was much less likely with a particular product. Sorry for the very long winded message but I would LOVE LOVE LOVE any recommendations/advice re: best sunscreen options for my face. PS. I will of course continue to follow up with my current dermatologist while using the hydriquinone/tretinoin/dexamethasone though so jealous of the patients who have access to you as their dermatologist.

Hey Dr! I love your videos. Could you please also do a video on India sunscreen?

Where do you buy your Bioderma sunscreen from?

It’s incredible how active you are and how many ideas you come up with for videos. Thank you for all your help! Please don’t burn out and leave us 😭

Mentholatum skin aqua seemed like the best choice.

Dr dray please see this I’m trying to find a good sunscreen to apply under make up I don’t want my make up to get flaky or melt off please to a video for sunscreen for make up !

The skin aqua is no longer sold... :/

Good day, Dr Dray! Would you recommend the skin aqua uv super moisture milk (the pink one) for oily skin? Thank you!

Hey Dr Dray is it okay to use mineral on my t-zone and chemical on the rest of my face ? I was wondering if that was safe, thank you !

Can you please do a video on sunscreen and sunblock for oily mature skin?

You are so well informed and eloquent but I can't watch this without crying for you, genuinely. I hope you are well and healthy.

There's still caffeine in decaf girl!

Im so bothered of how small the bottles are, the companies are so greedy

ur voice is so annoying ;(

These are all highly UN-affordable. Murad is $60 ?! joke

Hi Dr Dray, thanks for this video upload. What are your thoughts about alcohol in Sunscreens?

Hey dr. dray im looking back at your older videos because im looking for a good sunscreen. Ive been using the Olay Sun Facial Sunscreen + Antioxidants spf 35 + Shine Control, Any thoughts on this one? Thanks

Why are their bottles do SMALL!?

Have you tried the Anessa Gold sunblocks? I have a friend who said they're a lot more effective at preventing freckles for her
Have you tried the Isdin SPF?s It is popular in China o_O

I recently watched your video that talked about healing hyperpigmentation. Are any of these good for skin shades 3 and higher ?

Hello Dr. Dray!!
Hello Hyram!!!
Is there a chemical sunscreen for oily skin without alcohol or perfumes? I suffer from seborrheic dermatitis, therefore my skin is extremely sensitive and oily. I have tried many mineral sunscreens, but they all leave me with that terrible white cast. I have recently tried the Purito Comfy water, but it was impossible to reapply it during the day. It was terrible! I am desperate to find a chemical one because these types of sunscreems are often invisible and can be reapplied more frequently without a problem. Unfortunately most of them contain alcohol or fragrances. Both irritate my skin excessively!!
Many thanks

Thank you !!I recently bought Cerave sunscreen but it clogged tf out of my pores hopefully the aqua sunscreen won’t

frère elle me stresse en secouant tous les produits

I love the cetaphil redness relief tinted spf. I use it everyday.

Could you do a video on matte sunscreens? :)

Can you do an update to this video for 2020? Some of those products are discontinued. Thanks!

BUT WHICH ONE IS GOOD FOR ACNE 😭

Uyyy el de Skin Aqua tiene parabenos y siliconas. No recomendado. Apenas vi los ingredientes, bye bye

The neutrogena definitely leaves a white cast on my olive medium skin tone (I’m not even that dark)

Can u still use last year’s sunscreen which opened and barely used? The expiry date printed on the tube is one year after from now.

I need an affordable sunscreen easy to get in Colombia for oily skin, and I prefer a sunscreen that contains at least 80 - 100 ml, I can't buy one every month

I just tried the Anessa SPF50 mild milk, and came here to see you reviewed it. I love it! Fragrance free, alcohol free, and all the same filters as the SPF35. I almost fell on the floor when I saw the size of the bottle, though. I was like, did I accidentally order a sample?! 😂

Does the skin aqua uv moisture work for blocking blue light?

decaf coffee has a ton of caffeines tho >.<

I would LOVE an update on this one- lots of these are no longer- also the bottles are tiny. Anyway hoping i find my HG soon, it is exhausting trying to find it. Ever since the one I used for years was reformulated - Shiseido Wetforce, I have been searching and searching.

Can I layer the colorscience sunforgettable tinted sunscreen on top of the skin aqua new blue version?

For the clinque one opt buying it in the body version its three ounces and has the same ingredients yall

poor woman looks so sickly </3

any Tinted spf for oily skin ?

I'm here because I ordered my favorite one (the Etude House Sunprise Airy Finish) but IT HASN'T ARRIVED YET !! and obviously, I need sunscreen everyday 💀

I had no idea you were supposed to shake the sunscreen bottle! I used up 3/4 of that Bioderma sunscreen and was so annoyed with how bad it looks like, I just tried it out after shaking the bottle and the difference is so big!

Helloooo Dr Day and thanks for all your advices!!! I have acne and i wear Epiduo& tretinoin cream so that my skin is burning and irritated when i am in the sun(40°C greece)..😒 Which sunscreens do you recommend for me;; i wear Bioderma Akn mat spf30..❣️

I have bumpy and combination skin. I use liittleextra riceberry SPF 50 PA++++ since I commute to work and stay outside for several hours. Its non sticky and does not leave a white cast. I apply it about 15-20 minutes prior to going out in the sun. This sunscreen has received some awards as well. I highly recommend it for a climate like ours.
