What the gurus are saying

This sunscreen combines UV filters with antioxidants (licorice root and vitamin C) to prevent free radical damage that breaks down collagen, while staying lightweight and highly moisturizing, a combination dermatologists say is uncommon at this price. It earns praise for not burning eyes, leaving no white cast, and working on face and body. In hot, humid climates or during runs, people may find the formula feels a bit occlusive.

"This is so good. [...] This is great in my opinion because not only is it super lightweight, it doesn't feel like you have a heavy sunscreen on your face, but this has an antioxidant profile in the formulation. Antioxidants are super super important for your skin because the SPF is great to protect against UV damage, but antioxidants as well as your UV filters, it's very important to prevent additional free radical damage, which damages your collagen in your skin."

"The Eucerin one has U compounds [...] from licorice root, which is anti-inflammatory and good for eczema-prone skin. It's a little bit more deeply hydrating and emollient, so you might find it a touch shiny. That being said, I happen to think it's a great option as a daily body moisturizer as well, so that's another really fantastic and affordable option."

The Best Sunscreen For Active Lifestyles 2025

"It is their Advanced Hydration SPF 50 with hyaluronic acid in it, or sodium hyaluronate, which is good for improving moisture content in the skin. But it also has compounds from licorice root. [...] Licorice root is kind of an alternative to niacinamide. It offers similar benefits. It doesn't get in the way of the pigment package transferring around. But it has been shown to be helpful for hyperpigmentation, but also really helpful for redness and for people who have eczema-prone skin."

"This has sodium hyaluronate or hyaluronic acid, a humectant that helps with skin hydration. Ultimately that's going to allow for better barrier turnover. This has sodium ascorbyl phosphate, which is a stable form of vitamin C that may help in defending against oxidative stress that could create a lot more inflammation in the skin. Whether or not it helps with hyperpigmentation is to be determined, but as an ingredient it can help reduce oxidative stress."

"I highly recommend this. It's a good everyday sunscreen, especially going into maybe the colder months. It is a little bit heavier in consistency for some people, but I really like that it doesn't feel too heavy to me. It is in comparison to that lightweight gel [...] a richer formula, but it's very nice. Overall, I find it very lightweight in general."

BODY SUNSCREENS YOU NEED TO TRY 😮 DERMATOLOGIST @DrDrayzday

"I really like this. This is a very moisturizing yet not greasy chemical sunscreen, [...] there's no cast to it, and it's water resistant, so it's been great in the pool. [...] It's very hydrating and moisturizing, which helps because chlorine can dry out your skin. It [...] also has antioxidants from licorice root, which is anti-inflammatory, and sodium ascorbyl phosphate, a form of vitamin C that can help with oiliness and acne prone skin."

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.
