How we score →Yay
6 experts · Moderate agreementWhat the gurus are saying
The curved, half-moon shape is what these gurus keep coming back to, since it glides easily around the nose, under the eyes and across the forehead. Sticks can skip spots, so the tip is several passes over each area, and one take noticed a little aroma that scent-sensitive people may want to test first. The finish earns praise for a soft matte look with natural glow that holds up to sweat.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.
Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
