What the gurus are saying

This sunscreen earns praise for its lightweight, easy-to-apply texture that sits matte on skin and works well under makeup, all at an affordable price point. The main thing to watch: some people report eye sting, so patch testing first makes sense, especially if you have sensitive eyes. It's fragrance-free and moisturizing enough for daily wear, though the read here is a bit thin, not many gurus have weighed in so far.

What the evidence says.

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

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.
