What they liked

  • Lightweight fluid texture, blends easily under makeup

What they flagged

  • Inadequate UVA protection despite broad spectrum claim

What the gurus are saying

Experts split sharply on whether this sunscreen's UVA protection lives up to its broad-spectrum label. Dr. Aleksandra Brown and Tea with MD praise its lightweight fluid texture, tinting iron oxides that help with melasma and visible light protection, and skincare actives like vitamin E and hyaluronic acid that calm redness and support moisture retention. However, HotandFlashy found it leaves a significant gap in UVA coverage despite the broad-spectrum claim on the front, which matters because UVA drives skin aging. Anyone concerned about full-spectrum aging protection may want to verify the exact UVA filters before buying.

"If I have to land on just one specific one, this is going to be the one. I love it because it's really light. It uses zinc oxide and titanium dioxide for that broadspectrum UV protection. And I love that it's tinted because it has iron oxides which matter specifically for mature skin dealing with melasma hyperpigmentation like me. Iron oxides in this tinted sunscreen help protect against visible light, including blue light such as from your tablets and lights in the house and computers."

"It also has vitamin E, which works synergistically with that vitamin C. It has hyaluronic acid to help your skin hold on to and retain moisture. It also has baobab and ginger root, which can help to calm down the skin and also decrease the appearance of redness. So in my mind, this is not just a sunscreen. This is like sunscreen plus skincare. It does contain a lot of brightening and calming agents that I think would be great for you if you struggle with dark spots."
~Nay
"It's leaving out 90 percent of the UVA spectrum and leaving you completely unprotected against it. And that is a problem. And the kicker is that it says broad spectrum right on the front of the label. [...] You really have to be careful what is in your sunscreen and make sure that it's giving you that full UVA protection because [...] UVA is for aging. So [...] I would urge you to reconsider and try something else."
