What the gurus are saying

This mineral sunscreen stands out for its zero white cast and seamless blending across all skin tones. Beyond UV protection, it includes antioxidants (vitamin E and L-ascorbic acid) plus photolyase, which may help repair existing sun damage, though reviewers note it contains fragrance and has an orange undertone; at $70 it's steep, yet the lightweight feel makes it worth it for consistent wear.

"This is the tinted version, also a zinc oxide mineral sunscreen with photolyase in it, protecting against UVA and UVB rays. The tint is a bit on the orange side, but it looks nice on the skin, it's not super orange like Oompa Loompa orange, though if you look closely near your hairline or at the edge where you've applied it, it is a little more orange. It also has Peptide Q10 in it, a proprietary peptide that allegedly stimulates your skin's own ability to make more coQ10, though I don't honestly know how that peptide stacks up to just putting actual coQ10 on the skin. It's nice in terms of application consistency, moisturizing but not greasy, and it doesn't give me any pilling, which I cannot stand. It does have fragrance, a powdery fresh scent that fades quickly and doesn't linger, though fragrance isn't my preference in sunscreens. It's water resistant up to 40 minutes. At seventy dollars it's a pretty steep price point, ten dollars more than the non-tinted version, and I don't know that it's necessarily any better at protecting you from UV exposure than a more affordable option, but it's worth it if you like the way it looks and feels and it motivates you to wear it consistently."

"This mineral sunscreen blends insanely well for a mineral sunscreen. It has almost like a little bit of a primer feel. It's as about as good as it gets when it comes to a mineral sunscreen blending with any skin tone. Like, you cannot get better than this. It feels so lightweight when you put it on, and it easily blends with no issues. If you're looking for that more elegant sunscreen, this is certainly one of the products that you want to try out. Just be aware that this product does have fragrance in it."

BEST SUNSCREENS EVER?! | Doctorly Reviews
"This is actually called Isdin Eryfotona Ageless and this is my best overall. In my mind I have this checklist of sunscreens. Is it effective? Yes, it is effective. Does it have complementary sun protection? It does. It has L-ascorbic acid. It has vitamin E. These are very potent antioxidants. Then it has photolyase, which is a plankton-derived ingredient and this actually might help repair some of the sun damage that's already existing. And that's pretty unique to a sunscreen. Additionally, it has moisturizing ingredients. It does require a little bit of extra work in that you have to shake it because it's an emulsion every time you use it. But it is tinted, so it also protects against visible light. For a pure mineral sunscreen, watch this blendability—it is amazing. No white cast."

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.

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.

Peptides

Peptides are short protein fragments meant to signal repair. The evidence for them is thinner than for retinoids or vitamin C, and it varies a lot by the specific peptide, so the category is more promising than proven.
