What the gurus are saying

This sunscreen divides experts. Those with oily skin find the dewy finish appealing and skip their moisturizer step, but others find the texture thick, goopy, and sticky enough to dissuade daily use. The consensus leans toward caution unless you specifically want a heavier, more occlusive sunscreen.

"I do not recommend this product. [...] I have shown you this SPF. I actually just use it on my hands. This is the all I need sunscreen. SPF 50, PA4+. [...] Thick, goopy. Even if I decide to use this as a moisturizer, thick, goopy, sticky. Not a fan of this."

"I have very high standards and I am quite strict when it comes to sunscreen. As much as I really want to love this product, it's not one that you would want to wear for a long period of time. It's not one you're going to want to wear or give to your kids either. According to the Environmental Working Group, this wouldn't even be an FDA approved product. So for me, unfortunately, this is not a Dr V approved product."

"I like the sunscreen and I love the dewy finish of the sunscreen so if you are somebody with oily skin you can just go ahead and use the sunscreen and skip your moisturizer altogether."

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.

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.

Ceramides

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.
