What the gurus are saying
This sunscreen wins praise for being lightweight, hydrating, and easy to spread without leaving skin feeling stripped, making it particularly suited to dry skin. The ceramides and niacinamide work to repair the skin barrier while the mineral filters protect, and it sits comfortably on the face and body without heaviness or stickiness. One real caveat: the white cast is noticeable on deeper skin tones, and some find it stays slightly damp or oily on very oily skin, though it performs beautifully for those with dry skin who use it as an everyday base.

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

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.

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.
