What the gurus are saying

This sunscreen spreads and feels like a lightweight moisturizer rather than a typical sunscreen, with a cooling texture and no white cast. The combination of glutathione, niacinamide, and Centella compounds offers anti-inflammatory benefits that may help defend against free radicals and reduce hyperpigmentation signals. Completely fragrance-free and hydrating, it's so wearable some gurus have repurchased it or use it as their daily moisturizer.

"It [...] spreads so easily over the skin, feels just like a normal moisturizer, no white cast, no fragrance. [...] This is a sunscreen you could just use as a moisturizer every single day. [...] There is just so much goodness in this sunscreen, [...] packed full of really beneficial ingredients in a really gentle way. It has a really nice natural dewy finish, nothing extreme, no glazed doughnut look, just a nice natural glow."

Sunscreen I Finished Up In 2024

"I really really liked it a lot. [...] It's fragrance-free and it's got glutathione and niacinamide which are ingredients in sunscreens I really like to have there because they're anti-inflammatory. They may help defend to a certain extent against free radicals that prematurely damage the skin and they may also help to reduce inflammatory cascades that signal to the pigment producing cells to make more pigment and lead to hyperpigmentation and dark spots. Also very soothing and anti-inflammatory."

Korean Skincare To Save Combination Skin

"I love the texture of this, very lightweight, very hydrating, free of fragrance. It's a chemical sunscreen with a variety of chemical filters for broadspectrum SPF 50 protection. Like the lotion, it's got niacinamide, it's got glutathione, and it has compounds from centella asiatica extract and madecassoside as well as asiaticoside. This does have tea tree extract so it does have a bit of an earthy aroma, so if you're allergic to tea tree oil you'd have to be careful here."

"I've been trying out the APLB Glutathione Niacinamide Sunscreen SPF 50 and I really like the texture. It's very much like an entry-level hyaluronic acid watery sun gel chemical sunscreen. It also has compounds from centella in it which are anti-inflammatory, so I'm not mad at this. It's really nice, it's not greasy, and it's a good moisturizer."

"This one first took me by surprise because looking at the ingredient list I was like oh my gosh it's basically like the serum but in a sunscreen form stacked with good ingredients. But I especially loved this one for when my skin was a little bit more dehydrated and dry. It still has no white cast, immediately absorbs into the skin, but it has this nice bouncy hydrated plumping effect that is really ideal for when I'm in dry climates or need a little bit of extra moisture for my skin."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Humectants and emollients

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.
