No actual blue light protection
Only addresses damage after exposure

What the gurus are saying

This moisturizer doesn't actually block blue light, it contains antioxidants and humectants like hyaluronic acid and glycerin that may help with hydration and address damage after exposure, but nothing that stops blue light from reaching skin in the first place. One expert noted the pricing is fair for drugstore moisturizers, but the core claim of protection simply isn't backed by the formula.

"It's going to deal with the aftermath of exposure potentially, but there's nothing in here that's actually stopping it. If blue light from screens wasn't a real issue, I wouldn't even recommend this brand to be honest with you because there's no protection in here. It's like sitting out in the sun all day with no sunscreen on, going back home and applying an antioxidant serum and thinking it's going to reverse all the damage you did. That's what this product is doing."

"The moisturizer has hyaluronic acid and glycerin in it, which are humectants to help with skin hydration. For twenty-four dollars for 1.7 ounces of a moisturizer, that's typical of drugstore prices, so I don't think they are insanely priced."

What the evidence says.

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

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.
