What the gurus are saying

This sunscreen earns consistent praise for its universally flattering tint and effortless application. It rubs in smoothly without feeling sticky or heavy, leaving skin feeling hydrated rather than stiff. For anyone who has struggled to find a mineral sunscreen without a white cast, this is considered a genuinely helpful option. One note: the tint has shifted with reformulation, and what was once a favorite for some may now read a touch too warm on their skin tone.

"One of my all-time favorites is the EltaMD UV Elements sunscreen. I don't use it as much myself since it's been reformulated because the color on it is a little bit too warm for me."

"What I like about this sunscreen though is the tint and how easy it rubs in. It rubs in really nicely, it feels very hydrating, it's not firm, it's not sticky, it's not hard to rub in. I don't have to spend a long time rubbing it in and I really do think it has a very universally flattering tint. A lot of people say that they have difficulty finding a mineral sunscreen that doesn't give them a white cast, well I think this is a really great option."

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.
