Of course a sunscreen you applied prior to being in the water won't be as good at protecting. But you still need to reapply in that time frame, because a sunscreen's film is erroded by the water. They don't mention how long they sit in the water, but I'm assuming they're testing the listed time on the bottle, usually 80 minutes. If you're using sunscreen properly, than after being water you're supposed to dry yourself and reapply. They soak in a tub of water and then are exposed to UVB light. Afterward, each of those areas is exposed to six intensities of UVB light from a sun simulator for a set time.Įh.I dislike their testing method. To check for UVB protection, a standard amount of each sunscreen is applied to six places on our panelists' backs. So as long as we follow the directions for use (especially the reapplication.which I barely do except when I'm sunbathing) we should have a fair amount of protection. It just mean there are some variability that current technologies have not managed to get rid of. It doesn't mean the SPF written on the bottle is wrong as every company has to follow a very specific method to assess their SPF (EU is slightly different than the US though). And that's why when organisations such as Which? do their annual investigation, you can guarantee the results will be different from what the manufacturer of the product put on their pack. Which is linked to how people skin is so diverse. The misbelief people have is that if you repeat the test the manufacturers do with a different clinical lab and on different people (SPF rating is based on tests on ACTUAL people) you will most likely get different results. It is a legal requirement that the protection factor you mention on your pack is correct. I’ll give them both a go for a few weeks but on price alone I’d consider the neutrogena.Īnother bonus for the neutrogena is that it works well on both the face and body so I don’t have to carry around multiple tubes with me! And it blends in well with my hairy arms, something that was always a problem with those Coppertone sunscreens.ītw I’ve heard from a dermatologist that antioxidants in sunscreen aren’t shown to have much effectiveness so might be worth expanding your search criteria a bit :) The LRP is great but I’m not sure if it’s good enough to be that much better than the Neutrogena when considering the price, $34 for 50 mL vs ~$10 for 88 mL. Both work pretty well on my face, almost no white cast compared to the Cetaphil! I recently tried out both Neutrogena Clear Face sunscreen lotion (SPF 60) and La Roche-Posay Anthelios mineral tinted ultra fluid lotion (SPF 50). It leaves a slight white cast and I have to be careful to blend it in well. The first one I tried since I got into skincare was Cetaphil facial lotion with SPF 50.
