I live in England and we don't have much options in sunscreen especially when it comes to avoiding expensive postal fees. Dr V's product came in perfect time as I was about to travel to Greece. It wasn't totally invisible on my skin tone but it wasn't bad. While in Greece I'd use it before my long morning walks and felt the white cast looked worse after I had sweated. It's very greasy even though my skin is prone to dryness. Hoping it'll be better during the winter months when I'll need extra moisture on my skin, that said I don't feel I need SPF 50 in England during winter. It looked fine under makeup but I couldn't overly moisturise my skin prior to using the suncream. I definitely couldn't apply on makeup in Greece it was far too greasy. I have sensitive skin and it did not irritate my skin in any way just didn't like how greasy it felt on my face in 37 degrees sun. It's slightly expensive but the same price as color of science in the UK. I look forward to other products in her sunscreen line as I feel she may improve with time.
I live in England too, my favourite sunscreen is the la roche posay anthelios (it is a chemical sunscreen and does have alcohol) but honestly if you want a satin rather than greasy finish, don't want to look ashy or have to use tinted spf then I would recommend steering clear from mineral sunscreens.
Thanks for commenting. This is really helpful. I'm UK based too and finding a decent mineral sunscreen without cast has been a nightmare. At the moment I'm using Cosrx Aloe sun cream which is a hybrid chemical and mineral sunscreen with no cast. It's non greasy, moisturising and absorbs easily. I use Aloe Pura's aloe vera 50 spf suncreen on the body and is a moisturising chemical sunscreen.
Thanks so much for your responses. I'll look into your suggestions. Hi Esinam I'll continue using Sun protection but I just wonder at times if SPF 50 is needed during winter in England. I feel SPF 30 should be OK.
It does have a shiny finish but I love the way this product feels on my skin! I even bought 2. This sunscreen also helps with hyperpigmentation and it has definitely helped with mine!
@@styleandbeautydoctor greasy look went away for me though. Plus no white cast too. Some mentioned that my skin was glowing - maybe this might have been the grease look but didn't notice it myself.

I’ve been using Dr. Vs sunscreen for about three months now and I love it. I’ve had a lot of trouble with sunscreen exacerbating hyperpigmentation in my skin. So this product has been perfect for me! I have combination normal/dry skin. So I love the dewy finish that I’m left with after it settles. I know Dr. V. is working on trying to make it more accessible to people with SOC in other countries - specifically Ulta. But I’m the meantime, I buy more than one bottle when I order to minimize shipping charges. I have extremely sensitive skin, so I’m used to paying more for certain products. It comes with the territory. But Dr. Vs product recommendations (the products that are not Dr V formulated) for reversing and preventing future hyperpigmentation have worked well for me as well. I do hope Ulta gets starts to sell Dr. Vs products.
That shipping price is an issue for me too...so for that reason its currently a no...can change if price decreases...would prefer tinted too...lazy to wear foundation so i prefer when my spf doubles as foundation...
I am in the uk 🇬🇧 and Dr v’s sunscreen is amazing for me I am deep dark skin tone with oily acne prone skin. No cast!!!! Could not be happier, I didn’t experience a greasy look or buildup. Every one skin is different and every one will have a different reaction. Great in-depth review of your own experience ! 💕
By how much she put on no wonder she felt it looked greasy. Too much at one time, Dr V made iso you don't need to put so much on at one time from the ingredients in the sunscreen. it's about the amount layered each time plus each person/skin is different but I think she just put too much on there's no need for that amount for the face it's a small area, not the whole body.
I live in Iceland and basically have no options in stores. This sunscreen has been BOMB! Especially in the winter time because I run a bit oily. Ive been using it for a year and it also lasts long :) I love it!
I live in the USA and I have it. I actually love it. I don’t mind the shine. I actually like looking a little dewy. I don’t wear makeup regularly so this definitely works for me. It is expensive tho!
I'm in the US. I use Dr V's sunscreen and her other products. I love it/them. I am light brown. And I don't have the cast on my skin. I buy enough product so that I get free shipping. I trust her bc she's helping women of color across the globe. And she has the credentials and gives great information. She even has a video about 4C hair. I learned a lot from that video.
I tried this sunscreen and loved it. I have a mocha complexion and oily in my t-zone but I loved the finish. It did not feel greasy to me, feels very moisturizing and did not leave a white cast. I also love that there are some anti-aging and anti-pigmentation skin care ingredients.
Stop it! Of course we missed you! And thank you for this review. I’ve been waiting for this. I luv Dr. V and was happy to hear about her sunscreen. But the only review about sunscreen for skin of color I look forward to is yours! Thanks again and welcome back!
I actually love the sunscreen. I had been using elta md uv clear but started using this instead bc the white cast finish is soo much better. Agreed it’s greasy but I’ve been applying powder on top which has worked
I have dry skin and the sunscreen does feel a bit oily on my skin during the day. I actually don't care but if are oily can be a problem. Is the best sunscreen I ever use, is helping with some pigmentation and DOSEN'T leave a white cast. I live in Portugal and sunscreen here is almost the same price as this one BUT THE SHIPPING was too much (17 euros) plus I had to pay customs so it cost me ALOT of money. I hope she will find another shipping alternative. Overall is a great mineral suncreen.
I am in the U.K and had been looking forward to this. I purchased this as soon as it came out as I couldn’t wait to try it. The product was being marketed as non-comedogenic so having an oily skin I thought this would be great. However, after using it for a few weeks I had to stop as I was breaking out a lot. I did not mind that the product was not a matte finish and after reapplying it for 4-5 times a day my face would be like an actual frying pan full of oil by the end of the day. But it’s the breaking out that did it for me because now I am having to deal with the hyperpigmentation. For those with an oily face who have tried this it would be great if you shared your experiences to help others. Aside from this, the product did not sting or feel heavy on the skin as other mineral sunscreens do. On that note, I hope to try the matte version of this sunscreen when it comes out next summer.
Nice to see you back thanks for your review. I live in the uk and tried Dr.v sunscreen I am dark skin tone and have dry skin. No white cast or greasy fantastic sunscreen I'm impressed.
I purchased 2 bottles and it does leave a dewy greasy finish on my skin. I will be purchasing Supergoop mineral powder to help take that shine away. She said she is working on a matte version to come out Summer 2022.
I have bought almost all dr v things but the sunscreen irritated my skin, cast was still there, and too greasy for me. I prefer the face kit and lip kit but all in all, physical sunscreens irritate the hell out of my face, perhaps because they are too heavy for my skin.I will stick to chemical.
Yeah I think the face kit gradually delivers, some thing like 3-6 months, but it all depends on how dark your spots are, you need to be patient though! I loved the lip kit, it seemed to work quicker! Hope that helps
Gurrl, I missed you!!! I was checking your channel the other day as I haven't seen any recent notifications. Glad you went to Jammy and had a great time and Happy Belated Birthday!!! Now to this sunscreen. I bought 2 and I'm still kicking myself! About my skin type: brown skin, combination skin/dry or so I thought, a little bit sensitive, acne and rosacea prone, hyperpigmentation and melasma sufferer. This sunscreen was an epic failure for me! Please note this is my very personal experience. 1) It did leave a white cast on me. 2) It was super greasy and felt disgusting on my face. It had too much silicone. 3) It irritated my eyes. 4) It broke me out and made my face itchy- I think it was the too much silicone. 5) Expensive and shame on me for buying 2! I gave the 2nd one to my friend at work. 6) I was looking forward to try this sunscreen but it didn't work for me. The only positive for me was that it was easy to dispense and the bottle was small to carry in my bag. Glad to hear it worked for other people.
Thank you, Mimi! I had a wonderful time off :) Ughhh sorry the sunscreen(S) didn't work out for you! Ughhh. Which sunscreen do you usually use? Have any faves?
Welcome back Danielle, you were away for too long. Missed your sense of humor, hope the time off was relaxing- happy belated birthday. The Inzincable sunscreen is automatically a pass for me based on price because it's not sustainable, especially at 50 ml. If I'm expected to reapply as well, I will run through it quickly. Congrats to her though for getting it out, as sunscreen is very hard to develop and get to market. It looked good on your skin, I couldn't detect any cast on you.
We have super-limited options for mineral sunscreens in the UK so the price didn’t seem bad to me - we don’t really have drugstore mineral formulas here so I appreciate having this option on the market. I quite liked this formula but it’s a shame about the expensive delivery costs internationally. (Side note: I thought you were about 10 years younger than 40!)
I love this sunscreen. No white cast on me and I like the tyrosinase inhibitors. I like the satin finish. This beats my Biossance because it’s spf 50 and Biossance is spf 30. The packaging is too small. I hope she sells it in bigger containers soon.
This is the one! Maximum UVB/UVA (PA++++) protection, zinc oxide mineral sunscreen, no chemical filters, blue light protection, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, anti-pigmentation properties. My skin color is Maybelline FitMe's Deep Golden 368. Melts into my skin with no white cast, within 5 minutes, as expected with mineral sunscreens. Feels luxurious. Not greasy. Glowing. I agree that something should be done to mitigate the cost of shipping to the USA, since Dr V seems to have a a huge customer fan base here. Perhaps she will find a way to sell and ship from locations within the US, maybe even from Amazon for our convenience. Thank you for this detailed review.
I was very excited about the launch of this sunscreen so much so that I bought 2 given the high shipping cost however, I'm a little underwhelmed. There's nothing special about it in my opinion, it leaves a white/blueish cast on my face. On a positive note, it wears well under make up and doesn't cause pilling with other products . Anyway, I will continue to use it until I run out of both bottles but will not repurchase. I will stick with my biossence mineral sunscreen which performs well for me.
hey Ginia!!! Yeah the shininess is for sure a lot, but if you don't mind applying powder on top, it's not so bad. But then that shipping outside the UK :x
My husband gifted me this sunscreen after he herd me mentioned it and how excited I was for the launch. I wish he waited until I watched the reviews 😞. He paid nearly $90 australian. 😫. Am a chemical girl sunscreen so wearing a zinc sunscreen feels weird. It’s definitely greasy looking on my oily combo skin and feels pasty/chalky. It also seems like am getting the occasional white head pimple breakout which I rarely got before using this sunscreen. There is a cast but it’s bearable but I Dnt reapply during the day. Am pretty sure it would be a hot mess if i do. Overall am disappointed but still wear it and hoping to finish it before summer hits!!
Whew chile…. I may have to stick to the rivers and lakes I’m use to cuz that’s a lot for a spf BUT it’s good that you have no ghost face with it! Thanks for sharing 💕
Thank you for your very detailed review! I'm so pleased to see someone that is my complexion doing this review. The price and shipping is too much, but I bought it anyway because I am a fan of Dr.V and was expecting great things. I am sure there is 50ml in the bottle but when I held it up in front of my ring light, it is half full. I'm not sure why it's put in such a large bottle. The texture felt fine on the back of my hand, but on my face it felt a bit greasy, I'm combl/oily. even after an hour it was still a bit sticky, but it may just be my skin. Thank you for sharing your tip on applying to dry skin and layering the sunscreen so that you don't get the white cast, that maybe where I have been going wrong. I watched Dr.V's TH-cam and followed exactly what she did - she applies a peptide ceramide moisturiser first, followed by her sunscreen quarter to half a teaspoon dotted across the face . I can tell you, I looked like a horror show doing it that way because it left me with a white cast! 😬 so not one I can wear on its own and certainly not one I can reapply throughout the day. I like that there is no smell. I've read a lot of people love this product and that's great but I won't repurchase.
I was scared of the title like on no Dr V let me down …. But no you mostly approved! So her product passed your test sigh! I bought her hyperpigmentation for under eye kit which was a financial hit with shipping but I think she has good info so it was worth it but I was wondering about this sunscreen business and I will stick with color science and biossance stateside for now. I have dry skin/combination skin so I think ill be ok but I will pick it up her sunscreen down the line. Thank you for the review as always. I am getting better with daily sunscreen application lol. I have not advanced to reapplication but definitely putting it on daily thanks to you! ☺️Happy 40th you look wonderful and can we have a make up tutorial though ill scroll around and see if you already have such a video…..
Yes, I'm going to try Dr. V's sunscreen. The shipping price is pretty steep to ship it to the US, but I'm looking forward to purchasing a few of her items.
Just putting this out there maybe can help someone. I’m from Australia, where our 50+ sunscreen is higher than any other worldwide. I’m brown skin. Naked Sunday’s 50+ Aussie mineral sunscreen is literally the only sunscreen for me that does not leave a white cast I’d say 98% at least. This is the only sunscreen you need it’s amazing.
@@finda201 yeh it’s so annoying! I’ve spent a bit of money so far including ultra violet sunscreen and other ones that claim no white cast. None were even close to naked sundays.
This is a really detailed review, Danielle. I found the cost and 'activity' involved in getting it where I am really prohibitive, and I have some concerns around Dr V, so thought I'd try the Ilia skin tint first. Having watched this and read comments about greasiness, I am even less likely to buy it now as I have oily skin. Tfs
thanks for watching! What did you think of the Ilia Skin Tint? I reviewed that one here on the channel and liked it---can use more shades, but it was nice for me.
@@styleandbeautydoctor I actually watched your review and was inspired to try it! I'll have it with me next week. Will share how it goes. Looks like a product with so many benefits
I too started to have concerns about Dr V after she started recommending at home microneedling, put out lots of misinformation on chemical sunscreens, told us what comedogenic/skin sensitising ingredients to stay away from but then ended up recommending products with irritants, fruit extracts. If you follow her videos closely (like I did for over a year you'll find a lot of fear mongering with regards to denatured alcohol and chemical sunscreens as well as contradictory claims). I trust her when she says her videos aren't sponsored and that she's putting out information for her skin of colour family but once I started noticing holes in her claims and many contradictions I started having doubts about her claims. Finally I figured out that she's a business woman at the end of the day and will promote her products
I saw her the other night for the first time and I was trying to find a product on other sites and I did not see it. Thank you for advising that she's not in the US in addition to the shipping and handling. That's more than likely the reason I didn't find her anywhere else attempting to find a lower price.
I missed YOU! Sorry, finally catching this video. Life is happening... vacation finally happened for me too (after 18months). Thanks for reviewing this one. Cheers Beautiful!
@@styleandbeautydoctor It was fun and relaxing. 1 day did 13000 steps and then the next stayed on the beach till the sun set.😁 Yours looked beyond FabFab! 😍 Cheers Beautiful! 😘
Yes! We missed you!! I'm hope your are rested and refreshed! I would really like to try this product from Dr. V. My hope is that she will expand and offer a mineral powder for reapplication and even a spray. Then if Sephora offered it I would definitely buy!
Let me get this straight, Dr. V’s sunscreen is greasy, expensive and perhaps less than sheer for those of us in the deeply melanated crew. I’ll pass. I think I’m going to stick with Cotz for mineral sunscreen - Cotz tinted Spf 50 for cooler, drier weather and Cotz sensitive spf 40, non-tinted for all other weather.
Cotz is the business! I love it! I live in the UK...and I pay that shipping fee because other mineral options were not saying much, and I wanted to stop using chemical ones (each to their own on that though).
Glad that you took time off but you were missed, welcome back boo! One day I will be comfortable paying that amount for shipping but not today. However, I do want to try that sunscreen.
This sunscreen probably won't work for my oily skin especially during the Spring/Summer but it might work during the Winter. The major con for me is the price point. I have several sunscreen that work on my skin that don't cost as much. It's great people have options.
Just started using it and find it very moisturizing - i don't need a separate moisturizer. Things may change when it gets less humid. Reapplication is great - I don't wear makeup. Definitely feel it on my skin. My husband wears it, too! I buy enough to get free shipping. I'll check out your sunscreen videos for alternatives just in case! 😃👍
It definitely is a luxury Sunblock but the ingredients make it worth it! Lol i love this stuff but youre right the shipping is pricey. I usually buy the 2 bigger bottles and another item to get free shipping. That way I can have her amazing sunscreen that is my absolute favorite and ive tried A LOT😂 plus another thing i can try. At first it would have a blue-ish cast and i was freaking out. It would make nʻmy already oily skin super oily BUT.. What i did was change the amount and wait until my other products was dried first. Wash, toner, wait, active, wait, moisture, wait a while then apply sunblock (2 pumps for the face one pump for the neck). No more oily skin or blue-ish cast. I mean considering what I paid and how long it took to get here i had to make the best of it and im glad i did. Love her stuff❤
Apparently, the difference between nano and non-nano is that nano particles are smaller than 100 nm, while non nano particles are larger than 100 nm, but still micronised in most cases.
I bought this sunscreen and I live in California & I have been waiting weeks for it to show up. I shop a jewelry website out of the UK and have never had to wait this long, so it is definitely a deterrent to buying her sunscreen again.
I've bought from Kai Collective in the UK a few times and my stuff gets here in 2 days. I think it might be because she's shipping a skincare product that maybe customs or some agency slows down the process? I'm just guessing.
I'm sitting down to dinner in my apartment tonight and instantly thought, "what's the Style Doctor up to tonight? Let's see!" Now it's time for mac and cheese and girl time with you on TH-cam! Make no mistake hun, you are loved out here! Your sunscreen sun/skin videos are some of the best on the webs.
@@styleandbeautydoctor It was great!!! It was from Dollar Tree lol, with chicken and broccoli added. Of course it was your videos that truly made it the best!
Tbh it’s extremely hard to find 100% mineral sunscreen that doesn’t have a white cast, fragrance and alcohol and all the other ones that have the same results are the same price range
I’ve wanted to try Dr. V’s sunscreen for awhile, but when I saw that $20+ shipping cost on top of the cost of sunscreen, I will wait till I can afford it. My only concern is the zinc oxide. I have normal-to-dry skin and I tried the Live Tinted Hueguard, which has 18% zinc oxide. It dried my skin out and changed the texture of my skin. I’m wondering if Dr. V’s mineral sunscreen will be moisturizing enough or have the same effect like Hueguard. We shall see when I can afford the shipping. 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
I use Neutrogena ultra sheer 55 and that works for me. I think we all have different skin tones and needs so we should try and find what works for us, others can only give you suggestions.
darkening instead of mutating to skin cancer. They have a strong Interferon and Tyrosinase which contribute to their skin pigmentation process and are vital to yhe production of melanin that protects skin from UV radiation and skin cancer.
Thank you. Girllll i'm base in Belgium. I bought this suncream it was nice on my skin coz i have try skin. The price was crazy. Shipping was just to expensive..
The shipping cost is CRAAAZY! I'm from Canada and I paid a lot for the shipping cost 😱 Also, you can't have a refund if you don't like the product... I use it once ONLY, but it was too oily for my skin 😣 I love Dr.V but her products are so pricey...
I have dark skin and it worked for me (no white cast) the only thing I would say is that if you have a an oily skin type this might not be the best for you, but other than that I have no problem with it
Yeah. She’s in the process of making a Matt version for inzincable

I have bought almost all dr v things but the sunscreen irritated my skin, cast was still there, and too greasy for me. I prefer the face kit and lip kit but all in all, physical sunscreens irritate the hell out of my face, perhaps because they are too heavy for my skin.I will stick to chemical.
How long have you been using the facial pigmentation kit? Delivering good results?
I actually have the same question about the face kit. Did you see results after a few weeks or months?
Yeah I think the face kit gradually delivers, some thing like 3-6 months, but it all depends on how dark your spots are, you need to be patient though! I loved the lip kit, it seemed to work quicker! Hope that helps
I missed you, I checked everyday but after awhile I thought she's taking a much needed break, glad to see you back though!
aww this is so sweet! Thanks, Dee :)
So glad you're back with a new video.
thanks, David!!!
Gurrl, I missed you!!! I was checking your channel the other day as I haven't seen any recent notifications. Glad you went to Jammy and had a great time and Happy Belated Birthday!!!
Now to this sunscreen. I bought 2 and I'm still kicking myself! About my skin type: brown skin, combination skin/dry or so I thought, a little bit sensitive, acne and rosacea prone, hyperpigmentation and melasma sufferer. This sunscreen was an epic failure for me! Please note this is my very personal experience. 1) It did leave a white cast on me. 2) It was super greasy and felt disgusting on my face. It had too much silicone. 3) It irritated my eyes. 4) It broke me out and made my face itchy- I think it was the too much silicone. 5) Expensive and shame on me for buying 2! I gave the 2nd one to my friend at work. 6) I was looking forward to try this sunscreen but it didn't work for me. The only positive for me was that it was easy to dispense and the bottle was small to carry in my bag. Glad to hear it worked for other people.
Thank you, Mimi! I had a wonderful time off :)
Ughhh sorry the sunscreen(S) didn't work out for you! Ughhh. Which sunscreen do you usually use? Have any faves?
Girl, so I wasn’t the only one stalking Facebook and Instagram? Ok, hello fellow friend 👊🏾😅
Just received my inzincable sunscreen, I can’t wait to try it.
I really liked the glow it gave you. Seems like it's very dry skin friendly.
Welcome back Danielle, you were away for too long. Missed your sense of humor, hope the time off was relaxing- happy belated birthday. The Inzincable sunscreen is automatically a pass for me based on price because it's not sustainable, especially at 50 ml. If I'm expected to reapply as well, I will run through it quickly. Congrats to her though for getting it out, as sunscreen is very hard to develop and get to market. It looked good on your skin, I couldn't detect any cast on you.
Thank youuuu ❤️❤️❤️
We have super-limited options for mineral sunscreens in the UK so the price didn’t seem bad to me - we don’t really have drugstore mineral formulas here so I appreciate having this option on the market. I quite liked this formula but it’s a shame about the expensive delivery costs internationally. (Side note: I thought you were about 10 years younger than 40!)
Hey Jasmine! Yes, this is a much better deal if you also live in the UK...lol. Haha thanks!
I love this sunscreen. No white cast on me and I like the tyrosinase inhibitors. I like the satin finish. This beats my Biossance because it’s spf 50 and Biossance is spf 30. The packaging is too small. I hope she sells it in bigger containers soon.
Thanks for reviewing this Danielle. Will refer people to this video. And yes layering really helps the application
I love Dr. V....I've learned so much about skincare on her channel...she's amazing. I ordered it...can't wait for it.
I want to try this sunscreen but I don't know where I order can you tell me
This is the one! Maximum UVB/UVA (PA++++) protection, zinc oxide mineral sunscreen, no chemical filters, blue light protection, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, anti-pigmentation properties. My skin color is Maybelline FitMe's Deep Golden 368. Melts into my skin with no white cast, within 5 minutes, as expected with mineral sunscreens. Feels luxurious. Not greasy. Glowing. I agree that something should be done to mitigate the cost of shipping to the USA, since Dr V seems to have a a huge customer fan base here. Perhaps she will find a way to sell and ship from locations within the US, maybe even from Amazon for our convenience. Thank you for this detailed review.
Excited to see this one ✨✨.
I was very excited about the launch of this sunscreen so much so that I bought 2 given the high shipping cost however, I'm a little underwhelmed. There's nothing special about it in my opinion, it leaves a white/blueish cast on my face. On a positive note, it wears well under make up and doesn't cause pilling with other products . Anyway, I will continue to use it until I run out of both bottles but will not repurchase. I will stick with my biossence mineral sunscreen which performs well for me.
Happy belated birthday Danielle! You look amazing, your skin is flawless!
Thank you, Ray!!!
You’re so honest. I bought Dr v hyperpigmentation kit paid $200 with shipping but not working
Works for me and I’m dark skin, one of the best mineral sunscreens I have found. Only issue I have is it’s pricey for shipping
Can you do a video on Kinlo’s sunscreen? It’s Naomi Osaka’s new brand and there is a tinted non-nano mineral sunscreen meant for all skin tones
It looks nice on your skin!! I think what’s deterring me is the shininess I’ve seen in most reviews. Otherwise, it looks like a pretty good SPF!
hey Ginia!!! Yeah the shininess is for sure a lot, but if you don't mind applying powder on top, it's not so bad. But then that shipping outside the UK :x
My husband gifted me this sunscreen after he herd me mentioned it and how excited I was for the launch. I wish he waited until I watched the reviews 😞. He paid nearly $90 australian. 😫. Am a chemical girl sunscreen so wearing a zinc sunscreen feels weird. It’s definitely greasy looking on my oily combo skin and feels pasty/chalky. It also seems like am getting the occasional white head pimple breakout which I rarely got before using this sunscreen. There is a cast but it’s bearable but I Dnt reapply during the day. Am pretty sure it would be a hot mess if i do.
Overall am disappointed but still wear it and hoping to finish it before summer hits!!
Awww man! Yay for hubby though lol
Shipping will have me reconsidering my whole cart 😂😂. Yes I've missed you but happy to see the new channel as well 🤎🤎
Lmaooo right!! Thank youuuu
Let's Go! I cant wait...
Whew chile…. I may have to stick to the rivers and lakes I’m use to cuz that’s a lot for a spf BUT it’s good that you have no ghost face with it! Thanks for sharing 💕
*does TLC Waterfalls dance* 😝
@@styleandbeautydoctor 😂 😂
Gurl!!! We missed you!!!!!!! I am so glad you're back!!! Hope your birthday was AWESOME!!!
Hi Sweetie, I just ordered mine for £24.99 plus £3.49 shipping costs and live in the UK. I'll get it in 3-5 days🤪🇬🇧
Thank you for your very detailed review! I'm so pleased to see someone that is my complexion doing this review.
The price and shipping is too much, but I bought it anyway because I am a fan of Dr.V and was expecting great things.
I am sure there is 50ml in the bottle but when I held it up in front of my ring light, it is half full. I'm not sure why it's put in such a large bottle.
The texture felt fine on the back of my hand, but on my face it felt a bit greasy, I'm combl/oily. even after an hour it was still a bit sticky, but it may just be my skin.
Thank you for sharing your tip on applying to dry skin and layering the sunscreen so that you don't get the white cast, that maybe where I have been going wrong. I watched Dr.V's TH-cam and followed exactly what she did - she applies a peptide ceramide moisturiser first, followed by her sunscreen quarter to half a teaspoon dotted across the face . I can tell you, I looked like a horror show doing it that way because it left me with a white cast! 😬 so not one I can wear on its own and certainly not one I can reapply throughout the day.
I like that there is no smell. I've read a lot of people love this product and that's great but I won't repurchase.
We missed you, Happy belated Birthday!!!
Thank you!!!
I was scared of the title like on no Dr V let me down …. But no you mostly approved! So her product passed your test sigh! I bought her hyperpigmentation for under eye kit which was a financial hit with shipping but I think she has good info so it was worth it but I was wondering about this sunscreen business and I will stick with color science and biossance stateside for now. I have dry skin/combination skin so I think ill be ok but I will pick it up her sunscreen down the line. Thank you for the review as always. I am getting better with daily sunscreen application lol. I have not advanced to reapplication but definitely putting it on daily thanks to you! ☺️Happy 40th you look wonderful and can we have a make up tutorial though ill scroll around and see if you already have such a video…..
Thank youuuu ❤️❤️❤️❤️😘
You were missed. Glad you are back!
Thank you!!!
Yes, I'm going to try Dr. V's sunscreen. The shipping price is pretty steep to ship it to the US, but I'm looking forward to purchasing a few of her items.
You were missed girl! I’m here for this video.
Just putting this out there maybe can help someone. I’m from Australia, where our 50+ sunscreen is higher than any other worldwide. I’m brown skin. Naked Sunday’s 50+ Aussie mineral sunscreen is literally the only sunscreen for me that does not leave a white cast I’d say 98% at least. This is the only sunscreen you need it’s amazing.
Thanks 🙏🏾 I’m from Australia too. I’ll try this out 😭😭😭 sucks how finding the right sunscreen requires so much effort, time and money.
@@finda201 yeh it’s so annoying! I’ve spent a bit of money so far including ultra violet sunscreen and other ones that claim no white cast. None were even close to naked sundays.
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY BEAUTIFUL
thank you, Tanya!
Yes we missed you I was wondering where were you. Glad you are back
This is a really detailed review, Danielle. I found the cost and 'activity' involved in getting it where I am really prohibitive, and I have some concerns around Dr V, so thought I'd try the Ilia skin tint first. Having watched this and read comments about greasiness, I am even less likely to buy it now as I have oily skin. Tfs
thanks for watching! What did you think of the Ilia Skin Tint? I reviewed that one here on the channel and liked it---can use more shades, but it was nice for me.
@@styleandbeautydoctor I actually watched your review and was inspired to try it! I'll have it with me next week. Will share how it goes. Looks like a product with so many benefits
@@muta_othernames awesome! Let us know how it goes ❤️❤️
What are your concerns with Dr V if you don't mind me asking?
I too started to have concerns about Dr V after she started recommending at home microneedling, put out lots of misinformation on chemical sunscreens, told us what comedogenic/skin sensitising ingredients to stay away from but then ended up recommending products with irritants, fruit extracts. If you follow her videos closely (like I did for over a year you'll find a lot of fear mongering with regards to denatured alcohol and chemical sunscreens as well as contradictory claims). I trust her when she says her videos aren't sponsored and that she's putting out information for her skin of colour family but once I started noticing holes in her claims and many contradictions I started having doubts about her claims. Finally I figured out that she's a business woman at the end of the day and will promote her products
I saw her the other night for the first time and I was trying to find a product on other sites and I did not see it. Thank you for advising that she's not in the US in addition to the shipping and handling. That's more than likely the reason I didn't find her anywhere else attempting to find a lower price.
I missed YOU! Sorry, finally catching this video. Life is happening... vacation finally happened for me too (after 18months). Thanks for reviewing this one. Cheers Beautiful!
heyyy Zaid!!!! Yassss vacay!!! Glad you finally got to take one! How was it?
@@styleandbeautydoctor It was fun and relaxing. 1 day did 13000 steps and then the next stayed on the beach till the sun set.😁 Yours looked beyond FabFab! 😍 Cheers Beautiful! 😘
Shipping was 20$ so I watched your other video and found another one. Ty for your review
Yes! We missed you!! I'm hope your are rested and refreshed! I would really like to try this product from Dr. V. My hope is that she will expand and offer a mineral powder for reapplication and even a spray. Then if Sephora offered it I would definitely buy!
thanks, boo! Yes, if this were more accessible it would be an easier sell for sure.
Let me get this straight, Dr. V’s sunscreen is greasy, expensive and perhaps less than sheer for those of us in the deeply melanated crew. I’ll pass. I think I’m going to stick with Cotz for mineral sunscreen - Cotz tinted Spf 50 for cooler, drier weather and Cotz sensitive spf 40, non-tinted for all other weather.
Cotz is the business! I love it! I live in the UK...and I pay that shipping fee because other mineral options were not saying much, and I wanted to stop using chemical ones (each to their own on that though).
I love the Cotz as well. I use the tinted and the spf primer from them.
Where to but Cotz in the UK?
@@abiola33 there is a reason I came across this video to read your comment. Thanks! Have a good day! 💗
@@indiangirl.uk.8420 Reading your comment warmed my heart! Have a lovely day too! 😊💙
Glad that you took time off but you were missed, welcome back boo!
One day I will be comfortable paying that amount for shipping but not today. However, I do want to try that sunscreen.
Dr V sunscreen is the absolute best I’ve tried and no cast at all on me.
Okay I was sold from your video and your comment back you up! Ordering now
Hey Rose!! 💕 Awesome, let me know what you think.
Loved your videos . Very informative for people.❤️❤️
thank you so much!!!
This sunscreen probably won't work for my oily skin especially during the Spring/Summer but it might work during the Winter. The major con for me is the price point. I have several sunscreen that work on my skin that don't cost as much. It's great people have options.
Glad you are back and you were 100% missed! Hope you are having a great start to your 40s 🥂
It was one of the greasiest feeling sunscreens I’ve ever tried
It looks really good when you applied it 😍 definitely buying it .
Just started using it and find it very moisturizing - i don't need a separate moisturizer. Things may change when it gets less humid. Reapplication is great - I don't wear makeup. Definitely feel it on my skin. My husband wears it, too! I buy enough to get free shipping. I'll check out your sunscreen videos for alternatives just in case! 😃👍
You need to shake the bottle well before use and you wont experience any white stuff or oiliness. been using it foe 5 months now and l love it
Love your sunscreen reviews! Happy belated birthday! So happy you are back on the youtube!!
thank you so much, Sophia!!!
The "layers" advice ! Never heard tht before. Thnks !
Yesss mineral sunscreen can be tricky-you gotta play it before it plays you lol
Thank you lovely! You are wonderful and thank you for all your hardwork you did on our behalf. You are a star.
It definitely is a luxury Sunblock but the ingredients make it worth it! Lol i love this stuff but youre right the shipping is pricey. I usually buy the 2 bigger bottles and another item to get free shipping. That way I can have her amazing sunscreen that is my absolute favorite and ive tried A LOT😂 plus another thing i can try. At first it would have a blue-ish cast and i was freaking out. It would make nʻmy already oily skin super oily BUT.. What i did was change the amount and wait until my other products was dried first. Wash, toner, wait, active, wait, moisture, wait a while then apply sunblock (2 pumps for the face one pump for the neck). No more oily skin or blue-ish cast.
I mean considering what I paid and how long it took to get here i had to make the best of it and im glad i did. Love her stuff❤
Apparently, the difference between nano and non-nano is that nano particles are smaller than 100 nm, while non nano particles are larger than 100 nm, but still micronised in most cases.
I missed you. And your skin looks flawless
I tried it, and it broke out my face and neck in hives and left me with super sensitive skin.
Used once. If anyone wants it, let me know.
hi I know this was 6 months ago but I was wondering if you were still giving the Sunscreen away?
I bought this sunscreen and I live in California & I have been waiting weeks for it to show up. I shop a jewelry website out of the UK and have never had to wait this long, so it is definitely a deterrent to buying her sunscreen again.
I've bought from Kai Collective in the UK a few times and my stuff gets here in 2 days. I think it might be because she's shipping a skincare product that maybe customs or some agency slows down the process? I'm just guessing.
I bought mine directly from her site and had mine in under 2 weeks.
You are truly a beautiful brown skin girl! That ebony beauty radiates through. It also feels like it comes from the inside…. Stumbled on this channel.
Wow, thank you! 💕
I'm sitting down to dinner in my apartment tonight and instantly thought, "what's the Style Doctor up to tonight? Let's see!" Now it's time for mac and cheese and girl time with you on TH-cam! Make no mistake hun, you are loved out here! Your sunscreen sun/skin videos are some of the best on the webs.
Awww thank you so much, Lisa!!! How was the mac and cheese? You got me over here drooling lol
@@styleandbeautydoctor It was great!!! It was from Dollar Tree lol, with chicken and broccoli added. Of course it was your videos that truly made it the best!
@@lisabaughn oh wow! You hooked that UP! 💪🏿💪🏿
Tbh it’s extremely hard to find 100% mineral sunscreen that doesn’t have a white cast, fragrance and alcohol and all the other ones that have the same results are the same price range
Am I the only one getting a blue holographic cast ? I’ve rubbed in long enough & my face & hands are still dull blue …😕
I’ve wanted to try Dr. V’s sunscreen for awhile, but when I saw that $20+ shipping cost on top of the cost of sunscreen, I will wait till I can afford it. My only concern is the zinc oxide. I have normal-to-dry skin and I tried the Live Tinted Hueguard, which has 18% zinc oxide. It dried my skin out and changed the texture of my skin. I’m wondering if Dr. V’s mineral sunscreen will be moisturizing enough or have the same effect like Hueguard. We shall see when I can afford the shipping. 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
In the UK, I think it’s worth it.
I looove it !
We miss you!!!!
I hope Dr. V makes a sunscreen for oily acne-prone skin living in extremely hot and humid countries. This current sunscreen is unbelievably greasy!
I use Neutrogena ultra sheer 55 and that works for me. I think we all have different skin tones and needs so we should try and find what works for us, others can only give you suggestions.
darkening instead of mutating to skin cancer. They have a strong Interferon and Tyrosinase which contribute to their skin pigmentation process and are vital to yhe production of melanin that protects skin from UV radiation and skin cancer.
Thank you. Girllll i'm base in Belgium. I bought this suncream it was nice on my skin coz i have try skin. The price was crazy. Shipping was just to expensive..
Thank you for reviewing this. I ordered this 6 weeks ago and I still haven't recieved it ☹. I hope it didn't get lost in the mail.
You should contact the customer service. It's not normal.
@@katiadelivrance1703 I did, I contacted the shipping company and then went to costumer service they both were indifferent.
The shipping cost is CRAAAZY! I'm from Canada and I paid a lot for the shipping cost 😱 Also, you can't have a refund if you don't like the product... I use it once ONLY, but it was too oily for my skin 😣 I love Dr.V but her products are so pricey...
I'm depressed every time I have to pay for the Murad vit C sunscreen 😔
haha---listen that one and the Age Defense sunscreen...lol.
Good review. I would be interested in trying I if it weren't for the shipping cost.
I'm black and I got white cast wrll I actually looked blu. I think I put too much and I didnt put it in layers
You probably won’t see this but shipping is now free to the US when you spend over $159
