Aqualogica Radiance+ Dewy Sunscreen stands out with its impressive clinical evidence and transparent formulation, making it a highly trustworthy choice for daily sun and pollution protection.
₹314 • Analysed 9 October 2026
This sunscreen is well-suited for the Indian climate, offering high SPF 50+ PA++++ protection against intense UV radiation and blue light, which is crucial given high screen time and outdoor exposure. Its lightweight, non-sticky, and no-white-cast formula addresses common concerns for Indian skin types, especially in humid conditions. The inclusion of Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid caters to common Indian skin concerns like pigmentation and hydration. The brand's transparent clinical testing for SPF, PA, and anti-pollution factors sets a strong precedent in the Indian market.
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 testing as per ISO 24444:2019 yielded an SPF value of 50.232. In-vitro SPF (COLIPA Guidelines) was 62.52. Critical Wavelength: 378 nm (exceeds 370 nm for broad-spectrum).
PA++++ rating obtained, indicating maximum UVA coverage.
Product underwent real-life skin testing on human volunteers under controlled conditions as per ISO 24444:2019.
Clinical report states UV filters remain chemically stable and maintain protective efficacy for up to 6 hours of UV exposure.
Niacinamide is disclosed at 2%. Hyaluronic Acid is present. General ingredient research supports hydration and radiance benefits. The 'all day' claim is ambitious without specific finished product data for that duration.
Cellular studies demonstrated the formula blocks 75.26% of pollution-induced damage caused by PM 2.5 and reactive oxygen species.
Brand states 'The formula blends seamlessly and feels invisible on the skin with zero white cast.' User reviews generally support this, though some mention a slight white cast for the 'Fluid' variant.
Dermatologically tested and Non-Irritant as per patch certificate C3B04977 by Cliantha Research, an independent clinical research laboratory.
