What the gurus are saying

This mineral sunscreen stands out for its DNA repair enzymes (Photolyase) that repair existing sun damage while protecting from future UV rays, making it especially valuable for those with actinic damage. It earns praise for being lightweight and beautiful, though it does contain fragrance and the non-tinted version leaves a white cast. The larger 3.4-ounce bottle encourages proper use, since most sunscreens come in smaller sizes that tempt you to use less than recommended.

"If you want multi-purpose sunscreens that have other anti-aging ingredients I would look for sunscreens with DNA repair enzymes, especially for people who deal with a lot of precancers or multiple skin cancers. Some of my favorites with DNA repair enzymes is the ISDIN Eryfotona Actinica Ultralight Emulsion SPF 50."

"I love Isdin. The Fotona Actinica Ultralight Emulsion SPF 50 is great and it's designed for people with actinic damage. Actinic is a fancy word for sun damage, meaning the breakdown of your collagen from the Sun. [...] This one is great. It has Photolyase, which is a repair enzyme in the sunscreen that allows your skin to repair itself while you're protecting it from future sun."

"The Isdin Eryfotona Actinica Ultra Light Emulsion is one of my favorite ones because it has a special technology that helps to reverse some of that active damage, which means sun damage. If you are somebody who is late to the game but is looking for a sunscreen, this is a mineral sunscreen 100 percent. It is a broad spectrum one. It is also a little bit lightweight. [...] This guy I really like. They also have a tinted one."

"I really like these Isdin ones, I gosh I wish they didn't have fragrance, but so far it's not been a problem for me with these, and these are beautiful on the skin. [...] I've gotten a lot of comments from you guys over the years that these are like your holy grail sunscreens, and I definitely can appreciate why that is."
✓Yay
"I absolutely love about the Isdin sunscreen, and if other companies are watching this please take note, is that you get 3.4 ounces in a bottle that is basically double what most sunscreens give you, and the reason that's so important is because if you have a tiny package of sunscreen you might think about trying to save that sunscreen or use it sparingly, but sunscreen really needs to be used in the correct amount for it to be truly effective."
