    What the gurus are saying

    This sunscreen's stand-out element is Thamidol, an ingredient shown in studies to help prevent dark spots, making it particularly useful when paired with dedicated spot treatments at night. The formula blends smoothly into skin with no white cast or chalkiness, and applies easily even in facial hair. The one thing to keep in mind: it contains fragrance as part of Eucerin's proprietary formula, so those avoiding scent may want to look elsewhere.

    "One of the sunscreens that this year came out that I was extremely excited about is from Eucerin. This is in their Radiant Tone line. And this is their Radiant Tone sunscreen. This line really highlights an ingredient called Thamadol. This is something that was available in Europe and now is available in the US. And I looked at the studies like four or five years ago now. I benchmarked this ingredient, bookmarked this ingredient, and was like, "This is one I want to watch for," and it finally arrived. So, the sunscreen not only helps prevent damage from UVB and sunburns, but it does have an active ingredient that's pretty well studied and shown to be helpful to prevent pigment production. So, I've loved the sunscreen throughout the year. It blends well and is going to be a sunscreen that does more. The mechanism of thamadol is fascinating. This one does have fragrance in unfortunately, but there really is no alternative because it is proprietary to Eucerin. So, only Eucerin can formulate with this ingredient. What's nice about that is you can get thamadol in the morning and then you can use your dark spot treatments at night with other ingredients in them so you can target the pathway from multiple angles."

    "This new wave of sunscreens that do more, it's protecting your skin and treating your skin. The product itself blends really well, sits well. It does have alcohol and fragrance, which are negatives, but in the studies, it's been used up to four times daily, so reapplication really isn't a huge problem. I'm a huge fan of this one. I have not tried this one, but I'm very familiar with Niacinamide as an ingredient. This has been in Eucerin's Radiant Tone line overseas for a very long time. Dermatologists in other countries always talk about this ingredient, but it's just not widely available in the US until now, which is very exciting. Since this is a niacinamide-based ingredient, niacinamide has always had a lot of great data when it comes to dark spots."

    "The SPF contains thiamidol and it blends in really nicely with the skin, leaving a sheer finish. For a moment I was worried it was going to cake up in my beard, but as I kept rubbing it in I didn't have any issues with it leaving a white cast on my skin or that white gunk in my beard that some sunscreens leave."

    "This is just a great moisturizer and sunscreen in one. The sunscreen is SPF 30. It contains active ingredient timodol. It is a chemical filter not mineral based. [...] The texture is a light cream. It's very comparable to a standard lightweight cream, [...] that goes on really nicely, very smooth, and does not leave a white cast."
