Score by pillar
Claims: what the evidence supports
| Brand promise | Verdict | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Reinforced protection in the long-UVA range | Supported | Supported by published data on the Mexoryl 400 filter and the consistency of the formula, indicating long-UVA protection when the product is used as directed on the label. |
| Helps limit everyday UVA and UVB exposure | Supported | The SPF50+ category and the photoprotection data support broad-spectrum protection when the product is applied in sufficient quantity and reapplied. |
| Invisible texture with no white cast | Partially supported | This promise depends on the amount applied, skin tone and the context of use; it reflects the cosmetic experience rather than a stable clinical criterion. |
| Suitable for sensitive skin | Partially supported | The formula may suit some sensitive skin, but tolerance remains individual; stop use if irritation or stinging occurs and seek professional advice if needed. |
| Water resistance | Partially supported | Water resistance should be read against the stated test methods and never removes the need to reapply after swimming, sweating or towelling dry. |
| Protection around the eye area | Partially supported | The eye area calls for particular care; freedom from discomfort is not guaranteed for every user. |
| Prevention of visible sun-related signs | Partially supported | Daily photoprotection can help limit visible UV-related damage, but the effect depends on consistency, the amount applied and other exposure. |
| Protects against all consequences of sun exposure | Out of scope | A sunscreen reduces UV exposure but does not cover every risk or pattern of exposure; such wording would be too broad for a cosmetic dossier. |
| Repairs damaged skin | Not demonstrated | The dossier does not support a repair claim; the evidence concerns photoprotection, not the repair of skin that is already damaged. |
| Guaranteed all-day result after a single application | Not demonstrated | Protection must be renewed as directed on the label; a single application cannot support a stable all-day promise. |
What the evidence does not show. The evidence does not allow the promise to be extended beyond the measured criteria.
