What the gurus are saying

This sunscreen's texture is a sticking point: it pills on application, and the white cast it leaves reads as chalky on skin, though one reviewer found it wearable despite the slight cast. Those with darker skin tones or anyone bothered by visible residue may want to test it first, as the mineral base tends toward opacity.

"Unfortunately, the Omnilux sunscreen was a fail. It just pills. It leaves a bit of a white cast and unfortunately it just looks a little bit too chalky and it definitely peels with the rest of my skin care."

"It's not a tint that is going to be like makeup or try to match your skin tone, kind of like a pale off white color just to hide the white cast. I didn't find that it was 100% successful at hiding the white cast. It did give me slight white cast on my skin. It looked pretty nice. I could wear it. The formula is definitely very lightweight and very nice. It's fragrance free. It's got 12% zinc oxide. I like the finish on it. It doesn't feel heavy. It doesn't feel greasy."

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.

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.
