What the gurus are saying

This two-in-one formula eliminates a step by pairing moisturizer and sunscreen, making it especially welcoming for those new to sun protection. Dermatologists praise how it blends smoothly without leaving a white cast, applies affordably at the drugstore, and works well as an everyday facial sunscreen for most people.

"This is pretty good, it's hydrating, it's an organic sunscreen, it's a good facial moisturizer. Not water resistant. Yeah, this is a nice option. I recently finished it and rather enjoyed it. Didn't sting or burn around the eyes for me."

Costco Skincare Deals NOT TO MISS!

"This is their Olay Daily SPF 30, here at Costco normally $43.99 for this two pack, it is discounted to $32.99, so that's $11 off. This is an organic sunscreen so it should not leave a white cast. As most Olay products do, this has niacinamide, which I really enjoy in sunscreens because it helps, I enjoy it as an ingredient across the board. It has a lot of benefits: moisture content in the skin is improved via barrier function, it helps with hyperpigmentation, redness, and even shown to be useful for people with acne. This has panthenol, which is also good for moisturizing the skin, and it has palmitoyl pentapeptide 4, probably good for moisturizing. This does have fragrance, which I hate in a sunscreen because it gives me a headache."

"The complete SPF 30, this is a hybrid sunscreen. It's really good just as an everyday facial sunscreen. This is new though, 1994 cheaper per unit. The daily facial moisturizer with sunscreen, sensitive, fragrance-free, is a chemical sunscreen."

Affordable Sunscreens I Actually Use

"It's a facial moisturizer SPF 30 from Olay. I know they love to sell stuff for 10 times more than it's probably worth, but that is a product that they have kept surprisingly affordable. Like, it has resisted inflation. Hybrid sunscreens, they do leave a little bit of a white cast, especially if you have a deeper skin tone, but it's nowhere near as striking as an all mineral formula. This one's around like $5.98 per ounce. It's a great option for just day-to-day use for days you're mostly indoors. It's not water resistant, but it's very moisturizing and it also has niacionamide, which I love. It's great for calming down redness, helps target hyperpigmentation, helps with the moisture barrier, helps ward off oxidative stress, and has been actually shown to help with reducing glycation, skin yellowing. In addition to the niacinamide, it also has green tea extract, also a source of antioxidants and aloe, which is hydrating and has some anti-inflammatory compounds, some compounds called allisonins, which may help with hyperpigmentation. And this particular formula also has panthenol. It's very moisturizing without being."

"Fifty dollars for an SPF 30 mineral sunscreen with niacinamide. Olay has lost it, y'all, they have lost it with these prices."

My TOP 10 HYBRID SUNSCREEN FAVORITES // DERMATOLOGIST @DrDrayzday

"This is a hidden gem. It's exceptional in contrast to other Olay products. It's actually pretty affordable compared to other Olay products. It's not greasy, it's not shiny, it's just a nice moisturizer. It's good if you have dry, oily, and combination skin, and it's easier to tolerate around the eyelid skin."

"One of my favorite sunscreens for people who are new to skincare or maybe a little bit apprehensive about incorporating a sunscreen into their routine is the Olay Daily Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30. This is a two in one moisturizer and sunscreen. I think this sunscreen is really user friendly because it has no white cast, it rubs in super well to the skin, it's very affordable, and it's accessible at most drug stores."

What the evidence says.

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

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

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.
