What the gurus are saying

Gurus praise the texture for its pore-minimizing effect and comfortable, blendable application with no white cast. The main concern is the use of older UV filters like avobenzone and oxybenzone, which have limited photostability and require reapplication every three hours. There's potential if the brand upgrades to more stable modern filters while keeping the formula's texture intact.

"I particularly recommend the Deconstruct Gel Sunscreen for people who have large open pores that haven't shrunk yet. The texture is a bit of a mousy texture that gives you a primer effect. This is why I'm still putting this in my skincare routine because I know a lot of people who struggle with large open pores, and when they apply their sunscreen, especially if you have large open pores and you apply a very glow, glassy skin sunscreen, your pores are going to look even larger. Anything that is dewy and glassy is going to make your pores look larger. So if you want to minimize your pores temporarily because of the texture, this Deconstruct one is really nice."

"The only thing about this Deconstruct Gel Sunscreen is the presence of avobenzone, oxybenzone and octinoxate which are not the most photostable. So hence you need to reapply it every 3 hours if in case. I'm hoping that the brand will take feedback and use new age filters with better photostability. But if you're looking for a sunscreen with no white cast that blends easily and is comfortable on the skin, this one is a good choice. If they solve the problem of photostability and use new age filters which are better suited for the Indian climate while maintaining this formulation and texture then this sunscreen has the potential to be one of the best sunscreens out there. It has a water resistant formulation."
