La Roche-Posay Melt-in Milk SPF 60 Review: A Comfortable Daily Sunscreen
Editor's pick
By La Roche-Posay
A fast-absorbing, fragrance-free SPF 60 milk with no white cast on any skin tone and 80-minute water resistance, backed by five straight perfect Consumer Reports scores. It is a body sunscreen first: the alcohol denat. can sting dry or compromised skin, and mineral-only users are out of luck.

ISDIN Fusion Water MAGIC Review: Light Enough to Wear Daily at $38?
By ISDIN
This is one of the lightest daily sunscreens you can buy: a thin, fast-absorbing lotion with no visible cast and a finish that does not fight with makeup. If you stopped wearing SPF because it felt heavy, it removes that excuse. The price is the catch. At $38 for 50 ml, an honest amount on the face costs close to a dollar a day, and a cheaper sunscreen you wear every day beats an expensive one you ration.

Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen SPF 50 Review: A Clear Gel Primer Worth Its Price?
By Supergoop!
Unseen is the clear-gel SPF to buy if you want sunscreen that disappears on every skin tone and sits well under makeup. The SPF 50 update is lighter and feels less slick. It is expensive per ounce, relies on chemical filters, and it can pill or turn greasy by afternoon in heat, so a cheaper gel sunscreen may do the same job.

Tower 28 SunnyDays Tinted SPF 30 Review: A Gentle Tint, Not a Foundation
By Tower 28 Beauty
A gentle, fragrance-free mineral sunscreen with a sheer tint that evens skin without looking like makeup. It suits sensitive and breakout-prone skin well, and the pump makes dosing easy. It is not a foundation replacement for anyone wanting real coverage, it can pill over damp moisturizer, and at $32 per ounce it costs more than most.

EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46 Review: Still the Best Daily SPF for Breakouts and Redness?
By EltaMD
A very good daily face sunscreen for acne-prone and rosacea-prone skin: fragrance-free, oil-free, with 9% zinc oxide and niacinamide. But the reputation outruns the product. It costs about $27 an ounce, is not water resistant, and suits lighter skin tones best.

Black Girl Sunscreen SPF 30 Review: No Cast, but Oil-Rich
By Black Girl Sunscreen
A comfortable, moisturizing chemical-filter lotion that dries clear on deeper skin and layers well under makeup according to buyers. It is priced fairly at $18.99 for 3 oz. The oil and cocoa butter base is too rich for oily or acne-prone skin, and the formula is not fungal-acne friendly. Dry and normal skin gets the best deal.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch SPF 55 Review: Cheap, Light, Slightly Dated
By Neutrogena
A reliable, fast-absorbing SPF 55 for the money, and the best-known light lotion in a drugstore aisle. It is a body-first formula: on the face it can pill under makeup and sting if it runs into eyes. If you want the cheapest decent sunscreen, buy it. If you want the best daily face SPF, newer face formulas beat it.

Biore UV Aqua Rich SPF 50 Review: The US Version Compared
By Biore
A reasonably priced, invisible-feeling SPF 50 that suits normal to dry skin and wears well under makeup. The US formula is not the Japanese original, it uses alcohol and four chemical filters, and it is not water resistant.
