Overview

Diba from Diba's Quest breaks down the hype and warnings surrounding the La Roche-Posay Invisible Fluid SPF 50+ sunscreen. There's a lot of love for this product due to its lightweight nature and broad UV protection, making it a popular choice for sunscreen enthusiasts.

It highlights a study on nurses who used hand sanitizers multiple times a day and found no significant or permanent skin inflammation.
