Show Me the Mexoryl

Thank you for your wonderful information.

I have a question about Mexoryl. You mentined that Mexoryl is used in Lancome UV Expert Neuroshield. I bought one but it doesn’t seem to contain Mexoryl.

Do you mean La Roche-Posay Sunscreen instead of Lancome? La Roche Posay does contain Mexoryl SX and Mexoryl XL.

Should I buy La Roche Posay instead of Lancome UV Expert Neuroshield next time?

=============================================

Hi Keiko,

Thank you for the kind words.

I apologize for any confusion, but I meant what I said. The UV Expert Neuroshield referred to in my article is the 30 SPF which is still widely available, though the Lancome site doesn’t advertise it anymore.

Lancome is constantly updating its products and cosmetic product ingredient lists can be formatted in several ways. For example, the full chemical name is sometimes used. Other times, you’ll find the trademarked name and sometimes you’ll see another popular name.

Does your version list Ecamsule or Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid in its ingredient list? Mexoryl is also called Ecamsule and its chemical name is Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid.

The other possible explanation is that you bought Lancome UV Expert Neuroshield in a country which has different ingredient and ingredient listing regulations than the U.S.

Once I bought a large bottle of body firming lotion while on vacation in Mexico. I thought I had snagged quite a bargain because the U.S. version is loaded with skin-firming peptides.

However, when I got the bottle home and took a closer look, what should I find but no peptides – not one.

I’m hoping you got what you thought you paid for. Please let me know.

Regards,
Jean
