While I can’t say with complete confidence these four shades work on everyone, the two I tried did seem to be versatile (I could’ve gotten away with the light had I wanted to) so I do think the range is fairly inclusive. This fan-favorite product is one of the overall best Neutrogena sunscreens for both the face and body. It is water-resistant, and gives the skin an extra boost of hydration without leaving behind a greasy finish. This powder protector is not only perfect for travel (no gloopy spills here) but also makes reapplication easier than ever, which is important since Garshick recommends reapplying sunscreen every two hours. This sunscreen contains the highest available SPF that Neutrogena offers, so it’s a great option for those looking for the most sun protection possible.With all of these ingredients, it is a powerhouse in serving multiple functions while also being gentle on sensitive skin and skin that may be prone to acne,” Ivy Lee-Keltner, MD, a board-certified dermatologist and the medical director of Direct Dermatology, tells SELF. A good choice for anyone who wears makeup daily or likes to have a little something on their face, this SPF color-corrects skin with two tinted shades and leaves behind a healthy-looking glow.

It looks luminous and beautiful on bare skin, but it also doubles as a makeup primer and layers nicely underneath foundation. It’s fragrance-, dye-, and paraben-free, so it could be a good affordable option for anyone with sensitive skin. Another SELF Healthy Beauty Award winner, Badger’s sunscreen tin has a short, four-ingredient list (zinc oxide, sunflower oil, beeswax, and vitamin E) and a thick consistency that’s great for outdoor adventures. As far as the texture goes, this is marketed as being very lightweight and I’d completely agree with that. It’s imperative that you find a sunscreen you like, you’re actually going to use, and that’s proven effective.

Plus, its broad-spectrum SPF 40 sun protection formula contains plenty of zinc oxide to keep the sun from hurting your skin. During testing, we didn’t love how thick it felt on top of the skin, but this might not be a deal-breaker for everyone. We love how the formula goes on totally clear—so there’s no white cast—and it dries almost immediately.

I’ve also tried other physical sunscreens that contain a mixture of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.If you’re looking for something that holds up against sweating and splashing, this is a solid option to consider. Turn to this multi-use formula if you’re looking for a product that can prime and protect your skin all in one shot. If you’re looking for an all-in-one sunscreen to use for both your face and body, this is a great option. This sunscreen is a great option for all, but especially for those who are active and spend a lot of time outdoors,” says Dr. Plus, it’s water-resistant for up to 80 minutes and provides broad-spectrum coverage against UVA and UVB rays.
