If you’re confused by the sunscreen options available, know that I always just choose the “sport” version over any other because it sticks to skin a bit better and is water resistant for longer. In the case of these Vichy sunscreens, the formula of the Sport sunscreen is light and gel-like, while the Ultra-Hydrating UV Lotion is thicker and richer. It takes longer to rub in and feels like a heavy cream, so impatient people might be better off with the Ultra-Light Refreshing Lotion. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Vichy sunscreens also have Mexoryl which keeps sunscreen stable longer. This is what keeps the Americans stocking up on sunscreen when they visit Canada – the formulas are elegant even though the actual sun-protection ingredients are the same. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And yes, these are broad spectrum which means that they protect your skin against UVB and UVA rays but it seems that most sunscreens do offer broad spectrum protection these days anyway. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The complaint I hear most: I use sunscreen and I still got a burn or tan. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Honestly, the best BEST thing to do is to stay out of the sun.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
