What the gurus are saying

This sunscreen combines UV filters with antioxidants (licorice root and vitamin C) to prevent free radical damage that breaks down collagen, while staying lightweight and highly moisturizing, a combination dermatologists say is uncommon at this price. It earns praise for not burning eyes, leaving no white cast, and working on face and body. In hot, humid climates or during runs, people may find the formula feels a bit occlusive.

"Eucerin has a body sunscreen that I talk about anytime we talk about body sunscreens because it is really good. It is their Advanced Hydration SPF 50 with hyaluronic acid in it, or sodium hyaluronate, which is good for improving moisture content in the skin. But it also has compounds from licorice root. Licorice root is kind of an alternative to niacinamide. It offers similar benefits. It doesn't get in the way of the pigment package transferring around. But it has been shown to be helpful for hyperpigmentation, but also really helpful for redness and for people who have eczema-prone skin. It shows promise for helping to soothe some of the inflammation. It also has sodium ascorbyl phosphate, which is a stable form of vitamin C that may help reduce the burden of oxidative stress that our skin is faced with when we are exposed to all of those environmental aggressors. So in other words, antioxidants, licorice root, and sodium ascorbyl phosphate. This one has a little bit more of a deep hydration and really makes the skin look a little glowy and bouncy. It does help improve subtly the firmness of the top layers of the skin. You do feel that wearing this."

The Best Body Sunscreens For Summer 2024
"The Eucerin one has U compounds from licorice root, which is anti-inflammatory and good for eczema-prone skin. It's a little bit more deeply hydrating and emollient, so you might find it a touch shiny. That being said, I happen to think it's a great option as a daily body moisturizer as well, so that's another really fantastic and affordable option."
*BEST* SKINCARE TO LIGHTEN KNEES AND ELBOWS | Dermatologist
"This is an organic sunscreen, AKA chemical, it does not leave any kind of white cast behind. It's very fast absorbing but it's actually super emollient, which for some people you may not care for the feeling of that, but when it comes to the elbows and knees having something super emollient is nice for not only softening but providing lubrication to reduce those frictional forces. This has sodium hyaluronate or hyaluronic acid, a humectant that helps with skin hydration. Ultimately that's going to allow for better barrier turnover. This has sodium ascorbyl phosphate, which is a stable form of vitamin C that may help in defending against oxidative stress that could create a lot more inflammation in the skin. Whether or not it helps with hyperpigmentation is to be determined, but as an ingredient it can help reduce oxidative stress. This also has compounds from licorice root in it, glycyrrhiza and flava root extract and glycyrrhizic acid. These are anti-inflammatory, so we were talking about the hemosiderin and the inflammation. This can really help cut down on that. While this is pretty emollient, what I like about this is it really actually does offer nice cosmetic effect."
SUNSCREENS I LOVE & FINISHED UP 🗑
"This is so nice as a moisturizer with a broad spectrum sunscreen that is water resistant SPF 50. These sunscreens from Eucerin are really nice fragrance free very moisturizing because of the overall formula it has sodium hyaluronate which is hyaluronic acid deeply hydrating and it has compounds from licorice root which are anti-inflammatory, glycyrrhiza and Florida and glycerin retinoic acid from licorice root which are anti-inflammatory and it also has sodium ascorbyl phosphate that's a stable form of vitamin C that actually you know whether or not it gets into the skin converts to ascorbic acid and boosts collagen is a stretch but there is some research to suggest it may be helpful for people who have acne maybe it helps cut down on oxidation of sebum which would otherwise be very inflammatory and aggravate the acne. I highly recommend this it's a good everyday sunscreen especially going into maybe the colder months. It is a little bit for some people heavier in consistency but I really like that it doesn't feel too heavy to me but it is in comparison to that lightweight gel, this one is a richer."
BODY SUNSCREENS YOU NEED TO TRY 😮 DERMATOLOGIST @DrDrayzday
"I really like this. This is a very moisturizing yet not greasy chemical sunscreen, there's no cast to it, and it's water resistant, so it's been great in the pool. It's very hydrating and moisturizing, which helps because chlorine can dry out your skin. It also has antioxidants from licorice root, which is anti-inflammatory, and sodium ascorbyl phosphate, a form of vitamin C that can help with oiliness and acne prone skin. It offers broad spectrum UVA UVB protection and is water resistant for eighty minutes. It reapplies very comfortably, but it is a bit on the occlusive side, so if you live in a hot humid climate you may find it a touch oppressive, and if you go out for a run it may not be quite as comfortable. Price wise it's thirteen ninety nine for five ounces, which is a pretty good deal."

"This is the Eucerin SPF 50 advanced hydration for your face. This is so good. This is great in my opinion because not only is it super lightweight, it doesn't feel like you have a heavy sunscreen on your face, but this has an antioxidant profile in the formulation. Antioxidants are super super important for your skin because the SPF is great to protect against UV damage, but antioxidants as well as your UV filters, it's very important to prevent additional free radical damage, which damages your collagen in your skin. So this one is really all about the antioxidants, and you don't find that in all sunscreens. I love this. A workhorse. When we have affordable sunscreens in our stockpile, we do not skimp out on using enough of them. This one's great. It does not burn my eyes. It does not have a white cast. It's just good all around and it's affordable."

What the evidence says.

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

Vitamin C

Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

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.
