Verdict Should you buy it?

Five modern filters — Uvinul T 150, Mexoryl SX, DHHB, Parsol SLX, and bemotrizinol — in a lightweight serum-texture base with niacinamide, hydrolyzed and soluble collagen, and a trace of hydroxypinacolone retinoate. Strong protection and skin-feel, with one retinoid flag for reactive users.

Pros
  • Five modern UV filters including Mexoryl SX for UVA
  • Niacinamide plus hydrolyzed and soluble collagen in the base
  • Light essence finish layers cleanly under makeup
  • Fragrance-free and alcohol-free per INCI
Cons
  • Hydroxypinacolone retinoate may not suit retinoid-reactive skin
  • Dense active stack means a long, complex INCI
  • Essence finish can feel under-occlusive on dry skin

Who it's for: Buyers who want high UVA coverage from modern filters combined with a retinoid-curious anti-aging routine in a single lightweight serum.

03 At-a-glance facts
Protection
Filter type Mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) sit on skin and reflect UV. Chemical filters absorb UV. Hybrid blends both.
Chemical
Broad spectrum Protects across both UVA and UVB ranges. UVA causes aging and deeper damage; UVB causes burns.
Yes
Formulation & feel
Texture How the formula feels at application — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Essence
Finish How the formula looks on skin once dry: matte, natural, dewy, or glowy.
Natural
Tinted Adds sheer pigment (iron oxides) that masks the white cast common to mineral filters and gives a skin-tone finish.
No
Fragrance-free No synthetic perfume added. Not FDA-defined in the US; the EU requires 'Parfum' + the 26 named allergens on the label. 'Unscented' differs — may contain masking fragrance. Botanical oils still scent.
Yes
Alcohol-free No drying short-chain alcohols (alcohol denat., SD alcohol, ethanol). Does not refer to fatty alcohols like cetyl or stearyl alcohol, which are emollients.
Yes
