What the gurus are saying

This tinted sunscreen delivers foundation-level coverage that hides redness, texture and pores while protecting with SPF 75 and 80 minutes of water resistance. The higher price point reflects the quality of SkinBetter Science's other products, and it's worth considering if you want sun protection that doubles as a full-coverage base.

"If you want to spend a little bit more money, [...] I like the Tone Smart by SkinBetter Science because I love their Alpharet, their Retinol, great products there. Higher price point, but this one's a water resistant 80 minute tint. There's only one option though."

"This one right here is the SkinBetter [...] Tone Smart. And this is like a straight-up foundation. That is a straight-up foundation. It covers redness. It covers texture. It covers pores, and yes, it's an SPF 75, so it protects me from the sun."

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.
