Aqualogica Radiance+ Dewy Sunscreen offers robust, clinically-proven sun and pollution protection with a pleasant texture, but consumers sensitive to fragrance should be aware of the ingredient list despite the 'fragrance-free' marketing.
₹328 • Analysed 9 October 2026
The Aqualogica Radiance+ Dewy Sunscreen is well-positioned for the Indian market, offering high SPF 50+ PA++++ protection crucial for high UV index conditions. Its 'no white cast' and 'non-sticky' claims are highly desirable in India's humid climate, and the formula's inclusion of silicones and oil-absorbing silica supports this. The brand provides extensive clinical evidence for its SPF, PA, anti-pollution, and blue light protection claims, which is commendable and aligns with increasing consumer demand for transparency. However, the 'fragrance-free' claim is contradicted by the INCI, which is an ASCI concern. Pricing is competitive within the active sunscreen segment, with frequent discounts across platforms.
Independent and free. The Clean Sheet takes no money from brands to review, rank, or approve a product. This is a web evidence review, 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 review.
In-vivo SPF (ISO 24444:2019) of 50.232 and PA++++ rating (COLIPA guidelines) confirmed by independent third-party lab (CCFT Laboratories Pvt. Ltd) and registered under CTRI/2025/07/090309. Critical Wavelength 378nm (exceeds 370nm for broad-spectrum).
Niacinamide and Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid) are present high in the INCI list, supporting the '2% Nia-Hyaluron Complex' claim. Watermelon Fruit Extract is also present.
The presence of Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, and Watermelon Extract supports hydration and radiance. While 'all day' is ambitious, the formula contains humectants and emollients. Clinical safety study confirmed dermatological safety.
Cellular studies demonstrated 75.26% protection against pollution-induced damage caused by PM 2.5 and reactive oxygen species, conducted by CCFT Laboratories.
Clinical report states 'proven defense against high-energy visible (HEV) blue light in addition to UVA and UVB protection'.
This is a common claim for gel-based sunscreens. User reviews generally support this. The formula contains silicones (Caprylyl Methicone, Dimethicone) which contribute to a lightweight feel.
Clinical testing on healthy human volunteers confirmed the formula does not clog pores or cause comedones (non-comedogenic). The blend of chemical and physical filters (Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide) is formulated to minimize white cast.
The INCI list includes 'Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Extract' which is a known perfuming agent. This directly contradicts the 'fragrance-free' claim.

“Fragrance-free & Color-free”
