What the gurus are saying

This tinted moisturizer earns praise for its dewy, natural finish that never looks heavy or cakey on skin. Coverage runs sheer to medium with a silky texture gurus love, though those who prefer matte finishes may want powder nearby. The shade can read yellow on some tones, though lighter application tends to resolve the mismatch.

"It is the Tarte Maracuja Tinted Hydrator and I love this so much that I purchased it in another shade. This is the most beautiful tinted moisturizer on the skin. It goes on so easily, you can apply it with fingers, brush, or sponge. It looks skin-like and natural, doesn't settle into wrinkles, doesn't make your pores look huge, and doesn't have a super shiny finish like so many of them do. I powder it just in my T-zone a little bit and it reacts beautifully to setting powder."

"I never have skin flakes popping up by the end of the day. My skin feels comfortable all day, it feels hydrated, it doesn't feel sticky and goopy. It dries and sets and feels great. I feel like the color matches great, there's just nothing about this that I don't like. If you're in the market for a good tinted moisturizer for your skin, I would say to give the Tarte Maracuja Tinted Hydrator a try, so easy to use, so beautiful on the skin."

"The Tarte Maracuja Tinted Hydrator is beautiful, lasts longer than the IT, goes on easier, and looks way better—it's very similar but only costs twenty-nine dollars and comes in lots of shades. This is a beautiful tinted hydrator and I would highly recommend this so much more than I would recommend the IT."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

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.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
