What the gurus are saying

This sunscreen earns praise for its exceptionally lightweight, gel-like texture that feels almost invisible on skin and leaves no white cast, a standout for anyone who dreads the heavy, sticky feel of traditional sunscreen. Gurus highlight the NAD peptide complex as an interesting addition for cellular repair, though research on topical NAD is still developing. The main split: some find it impressively light and perfect for oily skin, while others say it reads heavier and dewier in person. The American UV filters are a dealbreaker for at least one reviewer who prefers Korean formulations.

"I genuinely think this one has one of the best textures in this lineup for oily and combination skin. It's my pick for best for oily combination skin, the NAD peptides, the light texture, the SPF 50, the formulation direction, it's chef's kiss, such an amazing take."

Top Pick: oily combination skin sunscreen

"You're going to be getting the US compliant equivalent, which generally speaking, especially in the terms of Numbuzin, much heavier, much thicker, and much dewier, some might say greasier looking on the skin. [...] The issue is a lot of the big online Korean retailers are shipping out the US version to non-US customers. Meaning if you're shopping outside of the US, you might be getting the US version which is not as advanced, not as elegant on the skin, not what we wanted."

"Their number nine NAD line has a super defense glow sunscreen SPF 50, it's at Target for 18 bucks, and it's a US-based chemical sunscreen. [...] I love the line, I love everything else from that line, it's all wonderful. But this one's got the American filters, which I just don't love. I don't love relying on benzone for my entire UVA protection."

"This one just takes the crown, it is the best sunscreen formula for the summer. If you want a really lightweight sunscreen that literally feels like nothing is on your skin, the Numbuzin Super Mild Sun Essence SPF 50 formula, I truly have no words. Not only is this product super affordable, but it's literally like a lightweight gel moisturizer with absolutely no white cast whatsoever, zip, zilch, zero."

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.

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.
