What the gurus are saying

Dermatologists praise this mineral sunscreen for its elegant texture, minimal irritation, and water resistance, making it especially popular for sensitive and oily skin types. The standout feature is its DNA repair technology, which some gurus report may help reverse accumulated sun damage. White cast is minimal to negligible for most users, though application under makeup helps. One consistent caveat: it's not moisturizing, so dry-skin users should prep with hydration first.

"The first one is from Isdin Eryfotona Actinica SPF 50+. So it's a Spanish brand. They make elegant sunscreens and this one is really popular among dermatologists because not only is it a pure mineral filter, great for anyone with dry and sensitive skin. It's lightweight and elegant fluid-like but does not leave a white cast. I believe it's also water resistant but it's got high SPF protection SPF 50 but also has this unique DNA repair zone that is unique to it, so it helps to repair DNA damage that has basically happened or accumulated in your skin. So not only is it protecting your skin but can actually reverse some of that damage that's happening to your skin. And I have some dermatology colleagues that swear that when their patients are wearing this regularly, the amount of sun damage, so aka activated keratosis, which is actually sometimes we even call it precancerous spots, actually goes down. So it's a great way to not only protect your skin, but also reverse some of the actual sun damage happening to your skin. But overall, it's just a really nice, elegant mineral sunscreen. It doesn't cause irritation, doesn't burn or sting."

"Another untinted mineral sunscreen that I really like is the Isdin Eryfotona Actinica SPF 50. It goes on really seamlessly and plays well under makeup. It does leave a little bit of a white cast on my skin, but I'm typically wearing it under a little bit of foundation or tinted moisturizer and that cancels that out. This uses 11% zinc oxide as the mineral filter and it's water resistant for 40 minutes. This is actually probably the most common mineral sunscreen that I use on my son when we're going into the water or going to the pool or the beach. One thing that's important to note about this sunscreen is that it's not a particularly moisturizing sunscreen, so I think it's actually really nice if you have oily skin, but if you have dry skin I would put a good layer of moisturizer on first before layering this on top."
