What the gurus are saying
This sunscreen earns consistent praise for its hydrating texture and dewy finish, thanks to the polyglutamic acid which holds significantly more water than hyaluronic acid. Experts note it blends cleanly with no white cast and works well for dry and combination skin types at an affordable price. However, a few people found it greasy or experienced irritation from one of the chemical UV filters, so anyone with sensitive or reactive skin may want to patch-test first.

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

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.
