We tested five other products that didn’t make the cut. This little bottle is a safe go-to and is my new everyday choice as well.Ĭontributor Other Face Sunscreens I Tested Loretta sunscreen is my hit-the-lottery pick, and it agreed with my skin, but it could potentially be irritating to other delicate flowers. She continued with the ultimate compliment: “I would buy this bottle again.” I would too.

I accidentally ended up sleeping with it on, and my skin felt great even 12 hours later.” I usually feel itchy around my eyes, mouth and chin whenever I try a new product for the first time, but with EltaMD that wasn’t the case. “Application was so easy, and it worked well on my sensitive skin. “I was pleasantly surprised with how wonderful this product was,” wrote our other sensitive-skinned tester. It’s designed for people whose skin flares up easily, and we found that it truly delivers. Our two very sensitive-skinned testers, including me, raved about this one. If every other sunscreen you’ve tried has irritated your skin, making it burn, sting, itch or even flake, look no further.
#Eltamd mineral sunscreen plus#
It’s a bonus to have more on hand (and buy fewer plastic containers), plus the cost per use makes it a bargain. Most face sunscreens come in a 1.7-ounce bottle. One of our testers described it as “a nice citrus scent that’s not overwhelming. The scent could be endearing or off-putting, depending on your personal preference-but it is definitely noticeable. “My skin had a glow, almost like I was wearing a serum,” wrote one of our testers who has combination skin. We loved the elegant finish it brightens your skin, making it look naturally radiant. However, it scored higher than Supergoop among our testers. The ingredient dimethicone gives both a gliding quality. It’s skin-softening, silky and smoothing in a way that’s quite similar to our other clear SPF contender, Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen-both feel like a makeup primer. Just be sure to give it a good shake before you dispense it we found in testing that the formula separates more easily than others. Like a serum, it absorbs into skin instantly with little rubbing required. Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protector Lotion comes out of the bottle a translucent, pearly pink and disappears into skin with a light swipe. It defies all the usual adjectives: heavy, creamy, clogging, sticky, chalky, pasty. If you think you hate the look and feel of sunscreen, you’ve never tried this option from Shiseido.
#Eltamd mineral sunscreen upgrade#
The first upgrade you’ll notice is the container itself. It costs twice as much as our best sunscreen overall from Coola, but it delivers benefits that go beyond sun protection. If money were no object, this is the sunscreen I would buy in bulk. Hybrid formula (contains chemical and mineral active ingredients).Type: Combination | Active ingredients: Homosalate 8%, octisalate 5%, octocrylene 5%, zinc oxide 8% | Price per fluid ounce: $29.40 | Finish: Sheer, glowy | Scent: Natural | Additional ingredients: Antioxidants, Indian ginseng extract, marine peptides, coconut oil, iron oxides (PSA: Don’t forget to check the expiration date on the bottom of your go-to bottle!) If a formula doesn’t work for you, pass along your barely used bottle to a friend or a women’s shelter-don’t throw it out or let it expire in your cabinet. When possible, we recommend trying a sample before you make a purchase or buying your sunscreen from a retailer with a generous return policy, like Sephora. As diverse and varied as we tried to make our panel of testers, a product that works perfectly for me or the majority of our testers might be too heavy for another, not moisturizing enough or even irritating for some. Ultimately, your sunscreen choice is very personal.
Best Face Sunscreen Overall: Coola Classic Face Organic Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50.
