About the mineral sunscreens: some people actually care about the environment and non human animals. Chemical sunscreens are killing marine wildlife, which is known for years and most people just don’t care.

Hi Michelle,

I would love to hear what you think about the Kanebo – Allie UV Gel sunscreen.

I’m also curious how Japanese filters compare to Korean ones in general.

Take care,
Audri

Hi Michelle,
Thank you for this really helpful post! I recently escaped the US for England and got a tube of UltraViolette’s Supreme Screen. Please sanity check me here: the tube is 50ml, we’re supposed to use 1.23 ml every two hours…so are they actually selling a tube that’s only meant to last about a week? My very reactive/sensitive skin is _loving_ this sunscreen, so I’m hoping I’m just very confused or something.

Hi Michelle,

What do you think of Hamilton everyday face SPF50? It is very affordable so I wonder if this works. La roche-posay is my HG but it’s too expensive for my budget. If you can recommend some budget great sunscreen it would be great. Thank you for your amazing work and content.

In reply to Lema.

I’ve only just gotten a bottle and am trying it out – I’ve heard mixed things about it so far!

In reply to Michelle. Dear Michelle, I am confused as to why you recommend to buy the old EU fluid Anthelios version. Is the new UV Mine bad? I thought it would be better since it covers a broader range of UVAs? Thank you!!

In reply to Louise. Water resistance correlates roughly to overall longevity on skin - there are separate tests for sweat, rub and sand resistance, but they aren't really standardised. So I tend to recommend water resistant products for any sort of activity beyond short moderately-paced walks (e.g. to the office from the train station).
