MoisturizingCeramide ng, Isododecane + 8 moreWorks well
“Protect your skin with INVISIBLE SUNSCREEN SPF50+, the invisible all-in-one daily facial sunscreen that offers high UV protection and keeps skin hydrated and radiant.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, hyaluronic acid.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: ceramide ng, c12-15 alkyl benzoate.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide ng
Evens skin toneAscorbyl tetraisopalmitateWorks well
“Vitamin C-Tetra provides all its antioxidant power, brightens and revitalizes 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).
Anti-agingHyaluronic acid, Ubiquinone + 1 moreWorks well
“But there’s more, INVISIBLE SUNSCREEN SPF50+ advanced multi-functional formula, features active ingredients that reinforce the skin's protective barrier and provide antioxidant action to help prevent sun damage and the signs of photo-aging.”
This product can 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.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Ubiquinone, Tocopheryl acetate + 1 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (ubiquinone) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

Product summary
We assess that "Transparent Lab - Invisible Sunscreen SPF50+" can provide reliable sun protection based on the ingredient list. 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).
It also works as a moisturizer, so you do not have to use an additional hydrating product. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product helps prevent early signs of aging.
