In this episode of Dr. Dray, we witness the unveiling of The Ordinary's latest creation: a sunscreen serum. Dr. Dray, with her usual wit and charm, questions the labeling of this product as a serum, sparking a debate on standardization in the skincare industry. She dives into the science behind chemical and mineral sunscreens, debunking common misconceptions and emphasizing the importance of sun protection regardless of the type of sunscreen used.
As Dr. Dray puts The Ordinary's SPF 45 serum to the test, she is unimpressed by its oily and heavy texture, likening it to a greasy cleansing balm. Despite its claims of no white cast, the serum leaves a shiny finish that she humorously compares to a "glazed donut." The discomfort of wearing this sunscreen is further exacerbated by its sticky and gooey feel, especially in humid conditions, making it a less-than-ideal choice for daily wear.
Through her signature road test, Dr. Dray highlights the challenges of wearing this sunscreen in hot and humid climates, revealing its tendency to remain sticky and uncomfortable throughout the day. While the sunscreen does not cause burning or stinging, it fails to meet Dr. Dray's standards for a comfortable and effective sunscreen. Ultimately, she deems The Ordinary's SPF 45 serum as a pass, questioning its $19 price tag and inviting viewers to share their own experiences with the product.
