"This is made for acne prone and sensitive skin. Although again there's nothing in here that's actually going to fight breakouts, it contains zinc oxide which is [...] the best sunscreen ingredient for preventing hyperpigmentation. The bottle says that this sunscreen is so moisturizing it perfectly complements acne treatments which can also sometimes be drying."

"This is an SPF 43 broad spectrum sunscreen and this is a mineral slash physical blend. [...] This one has been phenomenal. I slather it all over my face and body. I like it a lot and I'm so glad it launched because we need more SPFs on the market, more elegant SPFs, and this was one of them."

"This one from Apostrophe is a hybrid sunscreen with a moisturizing texture. [...] It will moisturize your skin and it will protect your skin with an SPF 43. This is fragrance free, it's safe for sensitive skin and acne prone skin, it's hydrating. [...] It has zinc oxide in it, which is mineral, and then it has octanoate and octisalate in it."

What the evidence says.

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

Vitamin C

Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

Sunscreen filters

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.

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.
