Early verdict · Few reviews so far

What the gurus are saying

This sunscreen delivers a mattifying finish that leaves skin feeling bare, making it a go-to choice for people with oily and acne-prone skin. The silica powder absorbs excess sebum and the formula stays lightweight even after it sets, so it works well for anyone who finds most sunscreens too greasy. Dermatologists praise its broad-spectrum protection and water resistance for summer use, and note it pairs especially well with oily or combination skin.

"This is for my teens who are super shiny and greasy and oily. [...] I even recommend this to my male patients who find that sunscreens are too greasy and oily if they're looking for a sunscreen this is the one that I recommend because literally this has a great mattifying finish after you apply it give it like 10 to 30 seconds let it absorb it feels like you have not put anything on your skin it's really nice it's lightweight, oil free and has great broad spectrum UVA and UVB coverage."

"If you have melasma or hyperpigmentation, if your skin is of color and you deal with hyperpigmentation like myself, I would say go with the tinted sunscreen with iron oxides. La Roche-Posay makes the UV Clear."

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.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
