What the gurus are saying
The blendability and soft texture stand out among mineral sunscreens. It glides on and blends exceptionally well, working even on deeper skin tones, though very deep skin may notice slight ashiness. The rich, hydrating formula is especially good for dry skin, but you'll need to work it in rather than patting on. One note: some reviewers found it greasier than the original version.

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

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.
