EltaMD UV Clear Face Sunscreen ($43)
If you're looking for a sunscreen that is formulated with both a physical and chemical protectant, this one comes highly recommended by dermatologists. It's oil-free and combines niacinamide, vitamin E, lactic acid, and hyaluronic acid, which helps to soothe and nourish acne-prone and rosacea-prone skin. Our editor tested out the un-tinted, tinted, and deeply tinted options and writes about them in this EltaMD UV Clear Face Sunscreen review.
Editor Quote: "I've tried and tested plenty of sunscreens through the years, and I've noticed that mineral sunscreens leave some sort of white cast (even if it's subtle) unless they are tinted dark enough to match my tan skin. The EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 has a unique hybrid formula that uses both physical and chemical UV filters so that its application — along with the look and feel — are more elegant on the skin compared to others on the market. The oil-free formula goes on thick and opaque but dries down to a demi-matte finish. It feels deeply hydrating on the skin but not heavy, especially during the colder months when my skin leans a bit drier." — AR
