Early verdict · Few reviews so far

What the gurus are saying

This sunscreen splits the experts sharply. One dermatologist praises the tinted formula and says his wife loves it, but another reviewer found it far too thick to apply evenly, which raises concerns about whether you could get adequate protection, and called it a complete disaster. The thickness issue is worth testing first if you're considering this one.

"This was a disaster and it didn't take long to figure it out. [...] So thick, I don't know how anybody could wear this and actually get adequate protection. It just was a complete disaster. Hated it, hated it, hated it. I could not get this off my skin fast enough. [...] For me this was a dud, it was a zero out of five."

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.

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.
