Skincare experts have tested the SPF to find the best one for your body and face.
1. BEST OVERSAL SURFACE CREAM FOR THE BODY
Rodan + Fields Essentials Face + Body Sunscreen SPF 50
Rodan + Fields SPF for both body and face, despite its higher-than-average price tag, stands out across the board thanks to its lightweight “smooth” texture and sheer finish that leaves no white cast even on darker skin tones.
The product is easy to use, absorbs well, does not leave white streaks on the skin, and does not feel greasy or stained. It is also water-resistant for up to 80 minutes.
2. BEST VALUE SURFACE CREAM FOR THE BODY
Hawaiian Tropic Skin Defense Sunscreen SPF 50
Hawaiian Tropic drugstore SPF sunscreen is highly rated for not drying or irritating the skin, is easily absorbed, has a pleasant scent, doesn’t feel greasy on the skin, and washes off easily. The formula is also at the top of the list for effective sun protection.
3. BEST SUNSCREEN TO USE DAILY
Banana Boat Light As Air Face Weightless Protective Sunscreen SPF 50
Perfect sun protection for all day, almost nothing on the skin, and won’t leave a sticky film. It doesn’t film on the skin, isn’t sticky, gets into the eyes, or causes watery eyes, and has a light, “tropical” scent.
4. BEST MINERAL SUNSHIP CREAM
Hawaiian Tropic Mineral Sun Milk Body Lotion SPF 50
Hawaiian Tropic is a fine mineral sunscreen with a unique milky formula, made with the active ingredients zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. It is the most loved by consumers, is least likely to stain fabrics, and gets the highest marks for its “tropical” scent. Users find the SPF easy to apply and wash off, doesn’t dry out the skin, and compliments the pump-like packaging.
5. BEST VALUE ANTI-SUN CREAM FOR EYES
Hawaiian Tropic Matte Effect Sunscreen SPF 50
For an affordable and lightweight option that’s rated as non-inflammatory and offers a non-greasy matte finish, this is a great choice. Users also find it to have a very pleasant, mild fragrance.
6. BEST SKIN CREAM FOR DRY SKIN
Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protector Lotion SPF 50+
Shiseido’s luxe sunscreen is highly regarded for its non-dehydrating properties. It is ideal for people with dry skin types, washes off easily, has a pleasant fragrance, and does not leave a white film on the skin. One downside: Sunscreen costs more than most.
7. BEST SUNSCREEN FOR MOTHER SKIN
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-in Milk Face and Body Sunscreen SPF 100
This high-SPF La Roche-Posay formula review is the best because it doesn’t leave a white film on the skin. It can be used on both the face and body as it doesn’t feel greasy or sticky. However, some testers reported a slight shine after use, and one person reported watery eyes from the scent.
