Dr. Jane Yoo reviews the Nuxe Sun Stick Serum SPF 50+, a French sunscreen with next-generation UV filters not yet approved in the US. The water-free stick applies over makeup and blocks about 98% of UVB, UVA, and blue light while containing rice extract, rosemary, and vitamin E.
Hi everyone, I'm Dr. Jane Yoo, board-certified dermatologist and Mohs surgeon. Today I'm featuring Nuxe, a French brand that focuses on clean beauty and is known for formulas that are both effective and enjoyable to use. Let's look at the Nuxe Sun Stick Serum SPF 50+, an innovative sunscreen-serum hybrid designed for precise, on-the-go application. For UV protection, it uses a sophisticated blend of filters, including next-generation filters not yet approved for use in the US market. These include Tinosorb S for broad-spectrum UVA and UVB coverage, Uvinul A Plus for targeted UVA coverage, and Uvinul T150 for efficient UVB absorption. The formula is also designed to protect against 98% of UVB rays, UVA rays, and even blue light. It is enriched with anti-aging cellular protection featuring rice and rosemary extracts as well as vitamin E for antioxidant support to to prevent dark spots and photoaging. The texture is a water-free, non-comedogenic formula that melts into the skin to hydrate and strengthen the barrier while leaving a non-greasy, invisible finish on all skin tones. Because of its compact format, it's perfect for targeting exposed areas like the ears and the nape of the neck, and it glides on smoothly over makeup without pilling. It also features Nuxe signature sun fragrance with notes of coconut, and vanilla. Nuxe shows that very high sun protection can be both intuitive and pleasurable for daily use.
