What the gurus are saying

This sunscreen layers smoothly under makeup without pilling, which gurus credit to its untinted formula and balanced filter blend. However, it lacks water resistance, so it works best for everyday errands rather than water activities or heavy sweating. Those sticking to daily wear will find it sits beautifully over complexion products.

Yay
"I actually like a lot of the Dermatology sunscreens but this is the one I've been grabbing the most. This is a hybrid sunscreen meaning that it has both physical and chemical UV filters, in this case zinc oxide and octinoxate. It rubs in beautifully to the skin. There's really no white cast whatsoever and it's quite creamy and moisturizing. I've had no issues with it irritating or exacerbating my rosacea. If you are someone with sensitive skin and you want to try a sunscreen like this, it's kind of nice that Dermatology offers this 60-day money-back guarantee, because if you do try it and it's not for you, you haven't lost anything."

"I've been using this for a long time and it's a long-standing favorite of mine. It's very lightweight, not greasy, not shiny, and they also make a tinted version which is also a favorite. The only thing is it has an odd odor kind of like a plastic pool float, but that odor fades very quickly after you put it on. It's not water resistant though, so if you're going to be participating in sports or doing water-based activities or it's really humid, then I wouldn't suggest wearing this. But don't sleep on this brand because they have a lot of good skincare products that are the same formula as expensive medical grade products but at a more affordable price."
Yay
"This is a combination sunscreen, so that means it has chemical and physical filters. That may be the reason this never stings around my eye area. I have never had a problem. I do have sensitive eyes. I get redness, irritation, and itching around my eye area. I always have. And this doesn't bother my eyes at all. It's honestly one of the sunscreens that's constantly in my sunscreen wardrobe."

DRMTLGY Skincare: Best Anti-Aging Skincare for Mature Skin Over 50 (Black Friday Deals!)
"It's a combination sunscreen, meaning that it has both chemical and physical filters in it. The reason this has lasted so long in my holy grail sunscreen routine is because it never irritates my skin. Even around the eyes, I can tolerate this. It dries down and never pills with my makeup or the rest of my skin care. It does go on with a bit of white cast, but by the time I come back to do my makeup, it's fine. And it does not peel with other makeup. It's just a 100% reliable untinted sunscreen when you don't want the tint in your sunscreen to interfere with the makeup that you're wearing that day."
Fast & Effective Summer Morning Skincare Routine for Over 50 + BONUS TirTir Review!
"I love the sunscreen. It's a combination sunscreen meaning it has chemical filters and physical filters. I love it because it's so reliable I can just throw it on go out the door. If I want to put makeup on it sits beautifully under makeup. If I don't want to wear makeup the white cast just fades away but on a day to day this is my go-to. Six pumps can do my face neck and part of my décolletage. This goes on super white, you're going to be really surprised how this soaks in. When I first started using it I was like this is going to have way too much white cast but I love it. I can put it up around my eyes without irritation and it just soaks in beautifully and provides the perfect base for a minimalist makeup routine."

Best Skincare For Mature, Over 50 Skin! (New DRMTLGY Launches & Favorites)
"My go-to everyday sunscreen is the DRMTLGY Broad Spectrum SPF 45. It goes on white and it kind of freaked me out at first. It's a combination sunscreen so it has mineral and chemical filters, and when I first used it I'm like okay this is never going to work. I use about eight pumps for my face, neck, and décolletage. There will be absolutely no white cast by the time it dries down. I also love it because it's untinted and it doesn't interfere with any complexion products that I want to wear that day, and it also looks great if I decide not to wear a complexion product. If you have really oily skin you might not like this because it might be just a little bit too dewy."
Skincare HACKS FOR MATURE SKIN! (DRMTLGY Fails, Faves and Tips!)
"My favorite sunscreen from the Dermatology line is the Broad Spectrum Untinted SPF 45. This is what's always on my neck if I'm using a tinted sunscreen for my face. I'm always using this on my neck because a tinted sunscreen just ruins your white shirt. So this is my go-to pretty much on a daily basis for my neck and décolletage even when I'm using a tinted sunscreen for my face."

"Dermatology, if you use my code it is around $20, love it. This is their untinted formula SPF 45. It is a combination of chemical sunscreens and mineral sunscreen. The white cast definitely fades after a little bit. It does need a little bit of time to settle down but love it. This has been on repurchase now for me for about 2 years. Absolutely highly recommend."

"With their Broad Spectrum SPF 45, this is untinted so it's going to go over your existing complexion product beautifully. Use a dry Beauty Blender and just tap it into your skin. I use this on a daily basis as my sunscreen of choice. I love it. It's a combination sunscreen with chemical and physical filters. One of my all-time Holy Grail sunscreens. It is SPF 45. I typically prefer an SPF 50, but you know what, I've never gotten burned using this."

"I kind of tipped my hat to the number five position which is the DRMTLGY Broad Spectrum SPF 45, as I mentioned before I am really leaning toward an untinted sunscreen. This is one of my absolute favorite sunscreens. It's both chemical and physical combination sunscreen, it dries down with no white cast, it's very moisturizing for my dry skin, and I like the fact that it's very, very affordable. I need six pumps for my face and another five or six for my décolletage, so I go through sunscreen really quickly, and I appreciate the fact that DRMTLGY is keeping this at an affordable rate."

"This is the Dermatology SPF 45. It is a combination sunscreen, meaning it has both chemical and physical filters, but the perfect untinted sunscreen that looks great under makeup, never pills, and is one of my favorites for moving into fall. It's slightly heavier than the outset as far as the moisturizing factor. The Dermatology SPF 45 Untinted is probably the one that I'll be reaching foremost this fall."

"I'm going to give this an 8.5 out of 10. I wish that this was a water resistant formulation. If you're going to be near water playing sports you're going to be sweating a lot you want that water resistant formula. But this one is lovely especially if you're just running everyday errands."

What the evidence says.

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

Niacinamide

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.

Source: DermNet

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.
