Sun protectionSPF 50 · 7 UV filtersBroad spectrum
This product offers a good level of protection against both UVB and UVA rays.
This sunscreen uses organic (so-called "chemical") sunscreen filters. Organic, or "chemical" filters usually provide reliable sun protection and rarely leave a white cast. Sunscreens with organic filters can sting eyes.
Anti-aging3 ingredients credited for this claimStrong support
“The oil-free formula reduces wrinkles, increases firmness, brightens, nourishes and firms skin.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains niacinamide.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
This product can also help prevent early signs of skin aging because it offers a good level of broad spectrum sun protection. Sun damage is the main cause of premature skin aging, and protecting your skin from the sun is the best anti-aging strategy.
Evens skin tone3 ingredients credited for this claimStrong support
“Working to leave you with an even-toned complexion that is protected from external aggressors, the product includes Vitamin C that diminishes the appearance of age spots and pigmentation that can appear on the skin.”
This product offers broad spectrum sun protection. It means that it can prevent hyperpigmentation and help keep the skin tone even (sun damage is the main factor causing age spots, darkening of post-acne marks and other discolorations).
Moisturizing6 ingredients credited for this claimStrong support
“Add moisture and shine with a slick of Kiss Mix.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: phenyl trimethicone, cetearyl alcohol.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: niacinamide
Anti-blemish1 ingredient credited for this claimGood support
“Lactic acid also works to gently exfoliate and eliminate impurities and breakouts, helping you to achieve beautifully radiant skin.”
This product might be able to help reduce blemishes and clogged pores because it contains niacinamide.
Exfoliation1 ingredient credited for this claimWeak support
“Lactic acid also works to gently exfoliate and eliminate impurities and breakouts, helping you to achieve beautifully radiant skin.”
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.

Product summary
Based on the ingredient list, we assess that this product can provide reliable sun protection. It can protect from both UVA and UVB rays. This is great news because not all sunscreens with SPF ratings give UVA protection. (UVA rays do not cause sunburn, but still damage our skin and lead to early aging).
Its formula is also hydrating, so you might find that you do not need an additional moisturizer during the day. This product prevents early signs of aging by protecting against sun damage (all broad spectrum sunscreens do that).
