What the gurus are saying

This affordable mascara earns consistent praise for delivering visible volume. Reviewers have relied on it for years, with one noting she's used it for ages and considering it a go-to volumizer, while another found herself warming to the latte brown shade despite not typically wearing brown mascara. At this price point, it's a solid everyday option.

"I use the cheapest mascara. I kid you not. It's I've been using it forever. I tried to go to like a tubular mascara. It doesn't work. This is a volumous. This is by L'Oreal."

What the evidence says.

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

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.
