Aqualogica's Radiance+ Dewy Sunscreen stands out with robust clinical evidence for its high SPF and broad-spectrum claims, coupled with excellent ingredient transparency and a well-formulated, cosmetically elegant texture.
₹299 • Analysed 22 October 2026
This Aqualogica sunscreen is well-suited for the Indian climate, offering high SPF 50+ PA++++ protection against intense UV radiation and also addressing pollution and blue light, which are relevant concerns in urban Indian environments. The lightweight, non-greasy formula is ideal for humid conditions, preventing a heavy feel. Its price point is competitive within the active sunscreen segment in India, especially considering the robust clinical evidence provided. The brand's claims are largely compliant with ASCI guidelines, backed by detailed clinical studies, and do not cross into drug territory, making it a transparent and responsible offering for Indian consumers.
Independent and free. The Clean Sheet takes no money from brands to analyse, rank, or approve a product. This is a web evidence analysis, not a Clean Sheet certification. We checked the ingredient list, publicly available test reports, marketing claims, and formula logic using only public information available at the time of analysis.
In-vivo SPF testing as per ISO 24444:2019 yielded SPF 50.232 and PA++++ rating. Tested by CCFT Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. and Mascot Spincontrol.
Confirmed by Critical Wavelength (378 nm, exceeding 370 nm threshold) and Boots Star Rating (***) in clinical studies.
Clinical reports explicitly state 'In-vivo SPF Testing as per International Standards - ISO 24444:2019' conducted by independent labs.
Patch certificate C3B04977 by Cliantha Research (an independent clinical research laboratory) confirms dermatological safety and non-irritancy.
Clinical photostability study (17-05-2025) showed 6 hours of stable UV filter performance. The INCI lists photostable filters like Tinosorb M & S, Uvinul T 150, Uvinul A Plus.
INCI lists Niacinamide, Sodium Hyaluronate, and Citrullus Lanatus Fruit Extract (Watermelon) high in the list. The 2% concentration for Nia-Hyaluron Complex is disclosed.
Supported by the presence of Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, Watermelon Extract, and Ceramides in the INCI. While a 28-day clinical efficacy study is mentioned for the 'Glow+ Dewy Gel Sunscreen' (a different product) showing improvements in brightness and moisturization, direct finished-product clinical data for *this specific* 'Radiance+ Dewy Sunscreen' for these endpoints is not explicitly detailed in the provided snippets, beyond general claims. However, the ingredients strongly support these functional benefits.
These are common sensory claims for sunscreens. The formula contains silicones (Caprylyl Methicone, Dimethicone) and new-age UV filters known for light textures. User reviews also frequently praise these attributes.
