What the gurus are saying

This sunscreen's standout strength is its hydrating formula reviewers consistently praise for leaving skin quenched and moisturized despite robust SPF 50 protection. It blends two types of sun protection (chemical and physical) through tinosorb M, with hydration boosters like pentathin (which boosts hydration for up to 72 hours) and squaline to lock in your barrier. Priced around $36-52, it ranks among top picks for anyone wanting effective sunscreen without sacrificing hydration.

"Supreme Screen, which is one of my favorite sunscreens of all time. This was more of an allrounder. Supreme Screen was meant to be used as a daily moisturizer and primer kind of combination whilst also providing sun protection, combining hydration, sun protection and a primer into this really smooth textured cream again with SPF 50 plus. It featured broadspectrum SPF UV filters alongside kakadu plum which is a nice antioxidant and pentitin for antioxidant support and moisture retention."

Influencers Are Lying About These Skincare Products?
"But this is a yes for me, this is a real yes for me. What I do find with Ultra Violette is that one product might be somebody's holy grail and for somebody else it just doesn't work at all. There seems to be no in between, either people love that one product or they absolutely hate it, and that's definitely the same for me. There's no real in between, but it's really, really good now."

Skincare So Bad, I Had To Stop Using It! Stinging, Stinky, Flakey 😭
"What I dislike about it is the smell. [...] It's got this very herby smell to it. [...] The best sunscreen you can buy is the one you're going to constantly use, and to have something whose job it is to sit on your skin and on your face daily whilst you reapply and reapply and reapply, it shouldn't smell bad. It can't smell bad. I used to remember layering this up absolutely fine, but now I don't know if they've reformulated or if my skin's just changed."
My Honest Opinion On Skincare Best Sellers 🤔 Ultra Violette Sunscreen, Caudalie, Naturium, Tatcha
"If you do want a super super lightweight dewy sunscreen that isn't necessarily greasy and or gives you that glass skin look, it doesn't do any of that. It's just a nice and lightweight. I feel like it does have like a tiny tint to it that for me disappeared completely, however if you do have a deeper skin tone it's probably not gonna disappear it might show up a bit. But Ultra Violette, they've been doing so good, like this is amazing, this is amazing."
✓Yay
"This is the best one for me out of all the Ultraviolette sunscreens that I've tried. The formula is lightweight, it's very moisturizing, it's got a natural finish. This is one of those rare sunscreens where I could wear it year round. It's lightweight enough to be okay for the warmer months but it's still moisturizing enough in the colder months where my skin doesn't feel dried out."
Top Pick: ultraviolet sunscreen
✓Yay
"It is absolutely beautiful in texture and finish. And it is loaded with an ingredient known as pentathin, which helps to boost hydration for up to 72 hours. Plus, it has [squalane] to lock in your moisture barrier. So, also for $36, this one is great for you. If you are dry, living in a dry climate, or both, or worse, dry and living in a dry climate. But let's say you're oily. Let's say you live somewhere really humid. You don't necessarily need this one."

"Ultraviolet is a brand that has been around in Australia for quite some time and internationally. [...] This one, their SPF 50 Supreme Screen, for $52 is one of my favorites. It is a hybrid sunscreen with Tinosorb M, which is technically both a chemical and a physical filter. It's thicker in appearance and this one is going to leave your skin feeling very much quenched in terms of hydration while protecting your skin."

"This is my most used SPF of the last two years. [...] I'll always use it until they bring out something better which I don't know if they can. It gives me a glow. [...] I always say if in doubt buy an Aussie SPF, it's fantastic."
Top Pick: spf 50 plus
✓Yay
"This is an Australian sunscreen that's their all-rounder product meant for all skin types. It's hydrating so it doubles up as a moisturizer but has a satin finish and works well as a primer under makeup. It has what they describe as a clean sort of scent and it has a bunch of antioxidants in it as well. It has my favorite type of sunscreen packaging, a pump top. They're just so handy and it makes it easy to remember how much you need to use."

What the evidence says.

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

Alpha hydroxy acids

Alpha hydroxy acids loosen the bonds holding dead cells at the surface. The evidence supports smoother texture and more even tone over time, and they can leave skin more sensitive to sun.

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.
