1. Broad spectrum
SPF 30 or 40 is fine
2. Zinc or Titanium Oxide 7-9%
3. Nice if it’s invisible. Or tinted.
4. Reapply thru the day if u r in sun all day.
5. Waterproof is good.

I feel it's important to note the amount of sunscreen we need to use in order to obtain the SPF that appears on the product package is a LOT. 1/4 teaspoon for our face, and a shot glass for our body. I prefer a higher SPF due to the fact we need so much and if I use less, then the SPF is diminished. Neutrogena came out with a study relating to this that talks about the reason a very high SPF is ideal because so many people do not apply the proper amount, thus diminishing the SPF. So, accordingly, I won't use anything lower than an SPF 50 for my face and neck ( I cannot find anything higher in a mineral sunscreen)and I use SPF 100 (chemical) on my hands, and arms daily.

I always buy European or Koren sunscreens as they are much stricter than the US on ingredients.

Just reordered the Trifecta and Ella. I love it! It really moisturizes so well. I’m hoping I like the sunscreen too. Dr Karam seems very sincere. It’s obvious he practices what he preaches because his face and skin are luminous looking.

I have melasma so I’ve been through so many sunscreen types and brands. EltaMD has topped my list and is my favorite. Doesn’t settle in wrinkles, chemical free, minimal amount required so a little goes a long way, doesn’t make dry skin appear worse or crackly on skin. Feels nice and looks natural

I have been using Elta for both face and body the last few years. This sunscreen brand in my opinion, is the best. It literally keeps my skin cooler from the sun’s rays. I feel less heat on my skin when I am in the sun. The other sunscreens I have used does not do that. Plus, my skin tans extremely fast. Elta sunscreens prevents that. More than excellent!!

Bought my first tube of Elta Restore sunscreen. Hoping it's light weight and doesn't feel greasy. I really want something I can use daily. Thanks for your helpful videos and expertise. I only wish I could afford a facial rejuvenation at your clinic!

[TheDomina]

Thanks, Dr. K. I look forward to watching your videos Can you talk about melasma treatment next?

I like mineral spf generally but Ive been loving the Chemical spf 60 Neutrogena Invisible Daily defense that stuff dries so fast and like velvet soft and no irritation even on my eyelids.

I just got this after I received my Trifecta and a sample of this sunscreen in my package. I’m loving the Trifecta! My skin is glowing! I feel so good too knowing I’m using this sunscreen as I live in Sydney, Australia! I’m 42 this year and I’m finally doing all the right things for my skin 🙌🏼✨✨✨

Just as some additional info, titanium dioxide isn’t as broad-spectrum as zinc oxide is (the former screens mainly the UVB range, the latter covers UVB & UVA).

[Alice-fref]

Learning more Dr. Karam, learning more. Videos made before I found your excellent channel. Thank you.

Hello Doc, I am told the Korean and Japanese sunscreens are much better...what are your thoughts about this?

[mvpoblete]

Gracias Dr, acabo de adquirir Elta md por su recomendación aun no lo pruebo, estoy usando tizo3 y también me funcionó de maravilla, saludos!

[cchen]

Thank you Dr. Karam for making this valuable educational video. It helps to understand the purpose of sunscreen. Very appreciated for sharing your personal experience of sunscreen product. Will give it a try.

Hallo doctor! Thank you very much for your recommendations about sunscreen! Could you please explain why you always recommend only mineral sunscreen? Should we never use the chemical one? Could you please explain why? Thank you

I just found your videos 😀 I’m 74 and my mom lived til 103 so I’ve got a ways to go and she only used PONDS COLD CREAM - u would have never guess her age. You really care for your patience and it’s a breath of fresh air ! I’ve had a facelift years ago and an excruciatingly painful CHEMICAL PEEL 1989 - I can still feel the pain 😀 - what sunscreen do u recommend? Am looking to get rid of lines around eyes and lips and everyone here in Bradenton Fl says they are the best - Am looking forward to ordering your products and watching all your videos - makes me want to move to San Diego

This one's even better;All Good Zinc Butter Sunscreen - Travel Size, Zinc Oxide Face, Nose, Ears Sunscreen!

[RommyFallas]

All chemical sunscreen gives me extreme skin reaction. I puff and rash. I was so scared to use any form of sunscreen except the white zinc creams. They make good tinted ones now but still hard to find ones I don't react to🤦‍♀️😭
