Kiehls UV screen. It’s in the yellow bottle. Underrated. I don’t know why it wasn’t promoted more heavily. I came across it randomly. Sits beautifully under makeup. Isn’t greasy. No white cast or strange smell.
I use Innisfree Invisible Daily UV Defense. It’s lightweight, affordable, leaves no white cast and my skin feels soft and looks glowy after using it. You do have to rub it in quite a bit before it absorbs into the skin though.
Have you tried the new formulation? I have the old version and have been hesitating on repurchasing because I’ve read it’s not the same now and a bunch of people are breaking out from it now. Which sucks because it was my favorite sunscreen 😭
I have used the previous formula and bought the new one. I was apprehensive at first because I’ve heard some negative things. I honestly absolutely love the new formula. I haven’t had any breakouts, white cast, or excessive pilling. My skin is combo/moderately sensitive. I know everyone’s experience is different but I’m glad I took this leap of faith.
The anthelios age correct one the most non-greasy face sunscreen i tried, whenit dries (quickly) it’s like you have nothing on. I use makeup on it every day.
My dermatologist recommended the EltaMD UV Clear Face Sunscreen (SPF 46) and I like it! It’s $40, but it’s HSA/FSA eligible, which is awesome!
She also recommended the TiZO3 Facial Mineral Sunscreen (SPF 40), but it is tinted, which is why I opted for the EltaMD (not tinted) instead. Looks like the TiZO is also HSA/FSA eligible and is $45.
I've used EltaMD 46 clear for years and it's my favorite. Easy coverage, works well and somehow the pump allows you to get all of the sunscreen out of the bottle.
Sun Bum for everything else.
It’s not a kickback. They’re a vendor. They purchase product at wholesale and resell it at retail like a store would. That doesn’t mean it isn’t a good product, it means they like it, recommend it, and offer it for sale.
A kickback is when a pharmaceutical company incentivizes prescribing their drug and at the end of the year your rx numbers are tracked by NPI and the pharmaceutical company gives you a bonus.
I think so. My dermatologist has it available for purchase in her office, but did she did tell me it was available on Amazon as well. I purchased from EltaMD’s storefront on Amazon.
I too love EltaMD and buy it from my derm and just submit the itemized receipt to get reimbursed by my FSA. I also like Supergoop. It doesn't break my skin out and the sunblock stick is nice to use for the tops of my hands when doing anything outside. I pretty much only buy my sunblock now from the FSA store with the exception of the EltaMD. I also buy my tampons and pads from there too. [https://fsastore.com/personal-care/suncare](https://fsastore.com/personal-care/suncare)
Edited to add that i just checked the FSA store sunblock list from the above link and they now sell EltaMD!!! They are constantly adding new brands to their sunblock section!!!
For face : supergoop unseen and if i stay out in the sun longer i would double with skin1004 ss under the supergoop. For reapply, the supergoop unseen for body (because they’re cheaper and works as fine for me)
For body : aveeno protect+hydrate, and the supergoop oil to reapply.
If you like Unseen you should try the Trader Joe’s sunscreen. It’s a dupe and so cheap. Also better to do a second layer of the same sunscreen if you’re doubling, than another one - sometimes different sunscreen formulas can destabilize each other
I’ve tried trader joe’s and elf. They are ok but somehow i still reach for the supergoop. And the trader joe’s pretty hard to find online and if do on amazon they jack up the price a lot
Ultra Violette lean mineral. It’s the only sunscreen that I’ve used that is matifying and not on this dewy hype. It’s thicker so takes a bit more effort but 100% worth it and does not sting my eyes at all, like I can rub it in my lashes and feel like nothing is there
I've been absolutely obsessed with Ultra Violette as well lately, but the Fave Fluid. It's scentless, super easy to apply, and feels basically weightless on the skin. The finish is neither dewy nor matte, and it likewise does not sting at all. This brand is so fantastic, so I'm ecstatic it's finally over on this side of the Pacific.
I’m was also coming here to say Ultra Violette. I’m using the lean mineral mattifying, too and really love it. I actually just ordered some of their other stuff from the UK so I can get the better UVA filters. This mineral spf is the best I’ve tried. It feels lightweight on and doesn’t get greasy even in the heat. It definitely performs better than the other sunscreens I’ve used. I had some Neutrogena on my body and the UV on my face and got zero sun on my face and pink shoulders/arms. That’s what spurned me to buy some of the other stuff that’s still on its way. :)
For my body I use coola spray. It doesn’t smell as bad as the others and they have an spf 70. It’s pricey but worth it to me.
For my face I’ve found a few I like, but the only one that is sold at Sephora is Dr Brandt liquid sun shield. I am super curious to try the mineral serum spf from hello Sunday.
For tinted sunscreen I just got my second tube of tower 28. One of the only ones that comes in a shade light enough for my pasty face.
From Sephora: InnBeauty Mineral Sun Glow spf43 (I have fair-medium, gorgeous under makeup!), Peter Thomas Roth Max Mineral tinted spf 45 (water drench tinted is also excellent, beautiful as a *very* sheer tint, cancels redness very well, dewy and hydrating. I use this instead of moisturizer), and new Caudalie Mineral Vinosun Mineral spf 50 (good for fair up to maybe medium tan tones. thin, lightweight, glowy)
Not from Sephora: ColoreScience Face Shield Flex spf 50 (four shades, lightest is the most fair skin friendly tinted mineral spf w/ coverage level of a light foundation or skin tint I have come across), Neutrogena Purescreen spf 30 (four shades, sheer tint, pretty finish), Trader Joe’s Daily Sunscreen (SuperGoop dupe, love it for reapplying with a beauty blender), Skin1004 Cica Sunfit (so good for my rosacea, perfect to use instead of moisturizer), Anessa sunscreen milk spf 50 (pretty soft finish, thin and lightweight, great under makeup, holds up BEAUTIFULLY in the heat and humidity).
42, dry leaning combo skin, rosacea, sensitive reactive skin, very very VERY hot and humid climate with wicked sun. Wear hats y’all.
I love Tatcha Silkscreen for my face. No white cast and goes great under my makeup.
I’m currently using a non Sephora brand sunscreen for my hands and body and I love it. Moisturizing, no cast, absorbs quickly.
For those of you (US) who have HSA/FSA, there's a whole section on Sephora of eligible sunscreens. So get yourself your bougey sunscreen with those benefits!
I use Inistree Watery Sun Gel (or similarly named) which isn't sold at Sephora.
I have fallen absolutely in love with Canmake mermaid skin gel. No white cast, sits beautifully under makeup, has a lovely satin finish, and best of all IT DOESNT STING MY EYES. I searched so long for a single sunscreen that didn't burn my eyes, and I finally found it!
I like the mermaid skin gel a ton too for days when I’m not going to be active outside, as it’s neither sweat- nor waterproof. I recently got the biotherm waterlover face sunscreen (SPF 50+) for active days.
I have recently fallen back in love with Mermaid Skin! It feels so good on the skin and I don't get greasy at the end of the day. I have been trying to use up my Innisfree one, but I decided to only wear it for times when I don't care if I'm greasy, like the pool or beach. I also don't care much for the Innisfree scent. Mermaid skin is weightless and has virtually no scent! I also like Purito's sunscreen, I can't recall the name.
I just wish Canmake made a value size bottle of mermaid skin, I use them up pretty quickly, but at least it's affordable.
I second this. Just got 6 bottles off of Stylevana for $50. It's better sunscreen and I don't feel guilty about using it liberally/correctly since it's also so cost effective.
I’ve always used the shiseido sunscreens, they do not leave a white cast on me. I reapply during the day neurotically with the sun stick. Recently I’ve branched out and tried the kosas dream beam in the new golden color and I love it. It gives a nice Dewy and natural finish, I’ve gotten many compliments when wearing. For reference I am quite tan.
Skin Aqua UV Super Moisture Gel and the Skin Aqua UV Super Moisture Essence for the face. Gel is best for super hot days for me.
My fave SPF for the backs of my hand and décolletage is the Neutrogena Beach Defense SPF 70 spray - gives a crazy glow.
I use the regular Neutrogena Beach Defense SPF 70 (cream version) on the rest of my body. Love the smell.
Face: really liking the inkey list sunscreen I got in the Sephora sun sampler. Satin finish, makeup goes on well over it.
Body: currently obsessed with Vacation Chardonnay oil. And the entire vacation brand in general.
It’s nice, but it’s very banana-y and less classic “sunscreen” smelling. I prefer Bobbi Brown Beach for this reason. Vacation’s perfume is also not very long lasting, unfortunately.
https://www.shiseido.com/us/en/ultimate-sun-protector-lotion-spf-60-sunscreen-9990000000220.html
Very easy to apply. No white cast. Hydrating, applies like butter
I really love that new lightsaver sunscreen! It has like a mousse consistency, it’s tinted (no white cast!) and really easy to apply and it doesn’t stain my clothes and has a skin like finish, so not matte but also not greasy, it’s a perfect middle!
i have super sensitive/acne prone skin and alot of western sunscreens make me breakout. i however have been using the skin1004 hylau cica sun serum and its amazing! no white cast, dries to a natural finish, and is lightweight. i usually wear it under makeup so i don’t have experience with reapplication but on a clean face i couldn’t imagine it giving any issues.
Ultra Violette lean mineral mattifying sunscreen! It’s slightly tinted but blends in totally. I’m fairly skinned, but I put some on a dark tattoo to check for any white cast and I couldn’t see it at all after I rubbed it in.
Hi! Have you tried Bare Republic's matte, sheer mineral sunscreen? It was my go-to when it was available at target. I loved the texture of applying it bc it was silly-smooth and didn't feel thick like most sunscreens, and when it dries it had a very light weight, satin-y matte feel (it didn't leave me feeling like I was wearing thick layer of sunscreen).
In terms of white-cast I feel like there was a barely perceptible bit of white cast after application that faded away after a few minutes on its own. I have light, warm/neutral skin for reference.
I highly recommend this LRP one for matte finish https://www.ulta.com/p/anthelios-clear-skin-dry-touch-face-sunscreen-spf-60-xlsImpprod13791275?sku=2301523
Not from Sephora but Beauty of Joseon, it’s a Korean brand. I have bad rosacea and sunscreen triggers it. I’ve used everything from expensive to drug store and it was also awful to the point I just didn’t wear it. I wear this everything and it’s amazing. I don’t even put moisturizer on before because it’s so creamy and moisturizing.
I love Korean chemical sunscreens, but my face doesn’t (watery eyes nonstop), so I swear by Summer Friday’s Shade Drops and will layer a tinted mineral sunscreen on top at times as well. I can never seem to use enough tinted sunscreen for the coverage recommendation, so this is my workaround!
Still on the hunt for a good mineral body sunscreen that doesn’t leave a white cast, if anyone has a favorite…
I like Tatcha’s silk sunscreen, La Roche’s ultra light fluid and Beauty of Joseon. I keep a stick of Shiseido in my bag.
Currently trying out Innisfree spf 45, Sephira’s mineral spf and La Roche’s water lotion sunscreen.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra Light Fluid Face
Sunscreen- the mineral tinted one. I swear since I've started using this daily my redness is gone. It doesn't break me out. And I never feel the need to wear foundation. I don't think Sephora sells it- but it's hands down the best I've tried.
Anessa perfect uv milk. It’s a Japanese sunscreen that has more advanced uv filters, extremely light weight, no white cast, and leaves a smooth matte finish. It’s also relatively affordable around $25 for 60ml.
Where'd you get it for that price? It's also my favorite but I always pay more than that via yesstyle.
For reference my next top dog is haruharu wonder in the yellow bottle, super affordable, lovely velvety finish and not too shiny.
I’m a diehard Supergoop Glow Screen lover, it’s a gorgeous product and it’s nice and moisturizing. *However,* it is not in the same class as the other sunscreens I’m going to mention and has been demoted from daily sunscreen to something I mix into my base products (skin tints, foundation) to give me glow (which hopefully means I won’t go through a tube quite as quickly as I have been).
Not sold at Sephora but these are my top picks:
Beauty of Joseph Ginseng Moist Sun Serum SPF 50+/PA++++ for every day, especially under makeup. It’s a literal SERUM that makes your skin so glowy and sinks in IMMEDIATELY. You put it on after your moisturizer. Zero white cast because it’s basically clear. I went to an event yesterday where it was 77 degrees+ INSIDE and my make up look as good at 5pm as it did at 10am when I left my house. My base was seriously flawless. I don’t know why this product hasn’t gone viral. It’s on sale for $18.90 on their website right now, but it’s like $15 or $16 on Stylevana. I literally ordered two more last night.
Vacation** Super Spritz SPF 50 Face Mist lives in my bag for reapplication on the go. This does not disturb my make up and is a beautiful, very fine mist. Super convenient. You do need to spray quite a bit to get good coverage, but the ease of use and convenience of a spray when you’re out and about (and wearing make up!) for reapplication makes it worth it imo.
Vacation** Classic Spray SPF 50 Sunscreen for body. You cannot beat the convenience of a spray sunscreen! This doesn’t leave me sticky or greasy, and it’s so easy to apply.
Kopari Sun Shield Body Glow SPF 50 for body when you want a little shimmer and glow. Feels so nice on the skin and is hydrating but not oily or goopy.
I brought the Vacation sunscreens and the Kopari on a recent bachelorette weekend in Calistoga where we were outside, picnicking and wine tasting in 80 degree heat and direct sun for most of the afternoon on day one and laying out by the pool in 80 degree heat on day 2. All the girls used these and LOVED them. No one got sunburned. These are my summer must haves forever now lol.
**Vacation products have a very distinctive sunscreen scent, that for me is nostalgic af and also enjoyable (that beach, slightly sweet, “sunscreen smell”), but very obviously scented. If you’re sensitive to fragrance, test these before buying!
Vacation is amazing! Their mineral sunscreens for the face and body are currently my favorite #1 sunscreens. Shake Shake spf 50 mineral milk face sunscreen is perfection. I gifted a Shake Shake bottle to my sister and our dad’s dermatologist. My sister and I are so obsessed with their Shake Shake sunscreen which contains so many good skincare ingredients, applies and wears beautifully and comfortably and makes our skin look and feel healthier with a glow.
Dune Suncare is my current fav. I don’t think it’s avail at Sephora, maybe ulta as well as Amazon
Supergoop is good
Elta md is good
Saie if you want something tinted
Okay this is going to sound crazy but hear me out: I'm a VERY fair-skinned 40-year-old woman, I have ZERO face wrinkles and ZERO sunspots/face freckles, and for 23 years I have been using Oil of Olay Age Defying ***Classic*** Daily Renewal Lotion | Beta-Hydroxy Acid with Sunscreen SPF 15. I constantly get comments on my young, healthy looking skin. This is my everyday, before makeup lotion. TWENTY THREE YEARS. No white cast, no greasiness. Nothing. Only applied once in the mornings. It's the only constant that I have ever had in my skincare routine, *ever*. My face never sunburns.
Granted, if I'm going to spend an INTENSE day in the direct sun, say in a tropical environment or something way out of the ordinary, I will do an SPF 50 (lately it's been LANIEGE Hydro UV Defense Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50, but it's still fairly greasy and I'm ALWAYS looking for the next best high SPF for face, but I've never yet found that holy grail and I try so many, so often. Definitely don't try the Glow Recipe SPF 50, it pilled on my face so bad). So I'll be studying these comments for consensus!
But for an everyday, under-makeup sun protection, I swear my life on good ol' Oil of Olay.
For my face, I really like the INN Beauty Project Mineral Sun Glow. It’s tinted and it blends in beautifully.. Better than most tinted sunscreens I’ve seen. I look hydrated after but not too glowy. Sometimes I’ll put the Supergoop Glow Screen over that because I love a bronzy/dewey finish.
Face is elf invisible (the supposed dupe for supergoop unseen, which I prefer but using the recommended amount gets costly). I top off my face every 2 hours with the supergoop unseen stick (which I think isn’t at Sephora but they have the glow stick). Neither of this is oily or matte, I would say just natural.
I’ve also been loving the IT cosmetics one but I will warn it’s a bit oily but easy to fix with powder. And works well under makeup that is a bit drier (pot concealers, foundation sticks).
I use Innisfree Mineral Sunscreen SPF 45. It doesn’t give me a white cast (I’m fair-neutral skintone) it blends easily, it can make you a little shiny, but I wear powder over it anyways so it didn’t bother me. It doesn’t pill with your foundation or powders either
My skin has changed since I got pregnant so I’m really loving my Dr. Jarr+ Every Sun Day sunscreen. Beforehand, I loved wearing Innisfree’s sunscreen but I find that to be too dewy for me rn.
Tried the Cayskin in Mexico last week, and LOVED it. It doesn’t leave any film or make you feel plasticky. I had a spray of Cayskin and a spray of Supergoop and the Cayskin lasted us the first 3-4 days!
We didn’t burn either.
We usually just go with Supergoop bc we know it works for us and the beach trips we take.
I also branched out and tried Keihls face sunscreen and I will never go back to anything else:)
All of these are man approved for those with men who are weird abut sunscreen feels etc.
Eta- we leave again Wednesday for Mexico round 2 and we have repurchased 2 bottles do Cayskin and no supergoop :)
Face: Shiseido Urban Environment Oil Free SPF 42 for the summer as it’s more mattifying, and the Fresh Moisture version in the winter when I get drier as it’s dewy finish.
Body: Sun Bum Original SPF 50 or 70
Any spray for the body will do; but the Biore Aqua Rich got face! It doesn't feel greasy and checks all my boxes. I have the Elta MD Clear, and I don't use it anymore as the Biore is better.
Honestly for body, nothing comes close to Coppertone kids 50 spf. I never burn with it, it spreads smoothly, doesn't leave a big white cast.
For face, I haven't found anything amazing so far. I use Glowscreen but it's become so expensive in Canada that I won't repurchase.
The Saint Jane sun ritual is my holy grail for my face. Its so calming and feels so soft. It uses zinc oxide so its gentle on my skin and has a slight yellowy tint from the cbd to offset any whitecast that may happen. The absolute best ☀️
The clinique mineral sunscreen has no cast, very lightweight, goes well under makeup, does not break my acne prone skin out, BUT, it’s $50 for the smallest bottle.
Clinique City Block for my face. It’s amazing, a hybrid mineral sunscreen - no shine, doesn’t feel heavy. And for my body I only use “we are feel good” 50+ coconut sunscreen. Light, non greasy smells divine.
Trader Joe’s facial sunscreen tbh. No white cast. Goes on like a nice smooth primer. Doesn’t make me shiny
I also like the Vacation spf facial mist. Goes on like a setting spray.
For my face, I use either Beauty of Joseon or Neutrogena HydroBoost Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer with SPF 50 sunscreen. I opt for Neutrogena on days when my skin feels a bit dry. These are the only two sunscreens that don't make my skin oily.
For face right now, I really like the Beekman milk primer, and for body I love the original Vacation or Black Girl Sunscreen. None of them leave a white cast, go on light, and leave a natural finish.
Maybe unpopular opinion but no Sephora sunscreen even comes CLOSE to Asian beauty sunscreens. They just have such better filters that are still not fda approved here.
Uvulal A, tinosorb s, and other Asian UV filters will always be more cosmetically elegant and comfortable than American filters will ever be
The La Roche Posay Double Repair SPF 30 is incredible. It has no gross feel or smell and leaves my skin so soft.
For body I adore the Hempz Yuzu and Starfruit SPF 30. It is not waterproof but I don’t want or need that for every day (waterproof feels heavy and this one feels like nada is on and it just smells like fruit)
I use altruist sunscreen! It’s not at sephora, I have to order it on UK amazon and ship it to the US. I love it so much though so it’s worth it! And I use supergoop glow stick too and banana boat SPF lip balm
I like La Roche Posay double repair face moisturizer with SPF 30 when I’m feeling lazy. It does sometimes burn my eyes. Innisfree invisible daily use spf 36 is my favorite. I have encountered no burning, pilling, or breakouts from it. I also use supergoop skin tint which has SPF and I love that it gives me a no make up finish.
I love the Dr. Jart tiger-grass cicapair green color correcting cream. It is my holy Grail product that I apply on mosquito bites and any redness. If I’m going to be out in the sun for a while, I apply it quite liberally on my legs and arms. It is SPF as well. For some reason, it also keeps mosquitoes from eating me alive.
Shiseido ultimate sun protector, coppertone baby and beauty of joseon probiotic sof. Shiseido leaves a nice your skin but better finish, coppertone has a slight white cast but not extreme, where it does have a blurring effect, beauty of joseon has a healthy skin finish, no white cast. Shiseido needs to sink into the skin for about 10 min before you apply makeup, coppertone works with makeup immediately, and so does beauty of joseon. None of them are a pain to reapply. I usually layer coppertone with either of them for that extra layer of protection. My skin is combo normally, but now I am on accutane and they still work just as well. Highly recommend! Coppertone also has smth in it that seems to soothe my easily inflamed skin.
La Roche-Posay anthelios UVMune400 oil-control fluid SPF 50+. Super high protection, leaves a perfect finish and the (very faint) floral smell disappears quickly. New UV filters so protects MUCH better than American sunscreen. Buy it on Soin-et-Nature website.
For body: Avene intense protect SPF 50+. Similar amazing protection as LRP but bigger bottle and fragrance free. Only reason I don’t use this on my face is that it has a slight yellow cast that I don’t mind at all for beach days but don’t want to accidentally stain any clothing
Kiehls UV screen. It’s in the yellow bottle. Underrated. I don’t know why it wasn’t promoted more heavily. I came across it randomly. Sits beautifully under makeup. Isn’t greasy. No white cast or strange smell.
I agree. For me it's both Kiehl's (for my face) and for my body Cay Skin's Isle Nourishing Body Mist SPF 50.
Just finished my first bottle and will be repurchasing. So good!
My favorite too
I loved everything about this one but it made me breakout so bad 😭
And it’s SO much better than their other sunscreen!!
The formula reminds me of how cosmetically elegant Korean sunscreens are. No white cast and hydrating but not thick and heavy.
It’s the BEST
It is amazing!
YES I just commented about this face sunscreen. It’s sooooo thin and works so well.
Is this fragrance free?
I use Innisfree Invisible Daily UV Defense. It’s lightweight, affordable, leaves no white cast and my skin feels soft and looks glowy after using it. You do have to rub it in quite a bit before it absorbs into the skin though.
Have you tried the new formulation? I have the old version and have been hesitating on repurchasing because I’ve read it’s not the same now and a bunch of people are breaking out from it now. Which sucks because it was my favorite sunscreen 😭
I haven’t had any problems with the new formulations
Same, I’ve been nervous to repurchase. Why mess with perfection?! 🤦🏻♀️
I have used the previous formula and bought the new one. I was apprehensive at first because I’ve heard some negative things. I honestly absolutely love the new formula. I haven’t had any breakouts, white cast, or excessive pilling. My skin is combo/moderately sensitive. I know everyone’s experience is different but I’m glad I took this leap of faith.
I loved the Matte one too but I think it’s discontinued ᴖ̈
1 of my favorites as well!
There’s a TON of innisfree product at TJMaxx right now, just FYI! Saw it when I popped into the store tonight
Blue lizard!
La Roche Posay Anthelios, it is invisible finish and no white cast. They also make a tinted version
This one burned my eyes so badly - I wanted to love it so now it’s a body/hand sunscreen for me
I have the tinted one and I loveeeeee it
Is it non greasy and can you place MU on top?
The anthelios age correct one the most non-greasy face sunscreen i tried, whenit dries (quickly) it’s like you have nothing on. I use makeup on it every day.
The tinted version matches my skin exactly and I pray to the makeup gods they don’t discontinue it
Love this one, plus it’s UVA protection is ridiculously good in comparison to most other sunscreens! I use this one on high UV index days.
My dermatologist recommended the EltaMD UV Clear Face Sunscreen (SPF 46) and I like it! It’s $40, but it’s HSA/FSA eligible, which is awesome! She also recommended the TiZO3 Facial Mineral Sunscreen (SPF 40), but it is tinted, which is why I opted for the EltaMD (not tinted) instead. Looks like the TiZO is also HSA/FSA eligible and is $45.
i'm pretty sure all sunscreen is FSA eligible, no?
Good point! I’m not sure, but figured I’d mention the eligibility anyway 🤗
I did not know this! Hell yeah!
I've used EltaMD 46 clear for years and it's my favorite. Easy coverage, works well and somehow the pump allows you to get all of the sunscreen out of the bottle. Sun Bum for everything else.
I’m so sad. I loved the UV clear but I suddenly developed a niacinamide allergy and my bottle is still pretty full
Do dermatologists get a kickback if you buy it from their office because mine recommended EltaMD too.
It’s not a kickback. They’re a vendor. They purchase product at wholesale and resell it at retail like a store would. That doesn’t mean it isn’t a good product, it means they like it, recommend it, and offer it for sale. A kickback is when a pharmaceutical company incentivizes prescribing their drug and at the end of the year your rx numbers are tracked by NPI and the pharmaceutical company gives you a bonus.
I think so. My dermatologist has it available for purchase in her office, but did she did tell me it was available on Amazon as well. I purchased from EltaMD’s storefront on Amazon.
I just tried the EltaMD mineral and it’s been awesome so far. I only need about 3 pumps for my entire face and it blends in quite nicely
I too love EltaMD and buy it from my derm and just submit the itemized receipt to get reimbursed by my FSA. I also like Supergoop. It doesn't break my skin out and the sunblock stick is nice to use for the tops of my hands when doing anything outside. I pretty much only buy my sunblock now from the FSA store with the exception of the EltaMD. I also buy my tampons and pads from there too. [https://fsastore.com/personal-care/suncare](https://fsastore.com/personal-care/suncare) Edited to add that i just checked the FSA store sunblock list from the above link and they now sell EltaMD!!! They are constantly adding new brands to their sunblock section!!!
Face: summer Fridays mineral sunscreen, eltaMD, or color science Body: usually la roche posay but recently loving the brand Dune!!!
Summer Fridays is the best, not sure why this product doesn’t get hyped
The summer fridays is def my next sunscreen purchase
For face : supergoop unseen and if i stay out in the sun longer i would double with skin1004 ss under the supergoop. For reapply, the supergoop unseen for body (because they’re cheaper and works as fine for me) For body : aveeno protect+hydrate, and the supergoop oil to reapply.
If you like Unseen you should try the Trader Joe’s sunscreen. It’s a dupe and so cheap. Also better to do a second layer of the same sunscreen if you’re doubling, than another one - sometimes different sunscreen formulas can destabilize each other
I’ve tried trader joe’s and elf. They are ok but somehow i still reach for the supergoop. And the trader joe’s pretty hard to find online and if do on amazon they jack up the price a lot
Agreed, Trader Joe’s has a great dupe for the goop face sunscreen! I think the TJ bottle is yellow?
i love the trader joe’s one!! it doesn’t pill under makeup like unseen does for me
I go through a bottle of this a week every week or so. I put it on my arms, face and neck daily. And so much cheaper than unseen!
The TJ’s version didn’t work well, or feel as good for me.
I use skin1004 hyalu-cica one, what's the ss one?
Ultra Violette lean mineral. It’s the only sunscreen that I’ve used that is matifying and not on this dewy hype. It’s thicker so takes a bit more effort but 100% worth it and does not sting my eyes at all, like I can rub it in my lashes and feel like nothing is there
I've been absolutely obsessed with Ultra Violette as well lately, but the Fave Fluid. It's scentless, super easy to apply, and feels basically weightless on the skin. The finish is neither dewy nor matte, and it likewise does not sting at all. This brand is so fantastic, so I'm ecstatic it's finally over on this side of the Pacific.
Where do you buy it?
Sephora!
In the USA or Canada? They don't ship to the USA yet
I’m was also coming here to say Ultra Violette. I’m using the lean mineral mattifying, too and really love it. I actually just ordered some of their other stuff from the UK so I can get the better UVA filters. This mineral spf is the best I’ve tried.

I had some Neutrogena on my body and the UV on my face and got zero sun on my face and pink shoulders/arms. That’s what spurned me to buy some of the other stuff that’s still on its way. :)
For my body I use coola spray. It doesn’t smell as bad as the others and they have an spf 70. It’s pricey but worth it to me. For my face I’ve found a few I like, but the only one that is sold at Sephora is Dr Brandt liquid sun shield. I am super curious to try the mineral serum spf from hello Sunday. For tinted sunscreen I just got my second tube of tower 28. One of the only ones that comes in a shade light enough for my pasty face.
I see koola at TJ maxx a lot if you want to check it out!
Niiice thanks for the tip!
From Sephora: InnBeauty Mineral Sun Glow spf43 (I have fair-medium, gorgeous under makeup!), Peter Thomas Roth Max Mineral tinted spf 45 (water drench tinted is also excellent, beautiful as a *very* sheer tint, cancels redness very well, dewy and hydrating. I use this instead of moisturizer), and new Caudalie Mineral Vinosun Mineral spf 50 (good for fair up to maybe medium tan tones. thin, lightweight, glowy) Not from Sephora: ColoreScience Face Shield Flex spf 50 (four shades, lightest is the most fair skin friendly tinted mineral spf w/ coverage level of a light foundation or skin tint I have come across), Neutrogena Purescreen spf 30 (four shades, sheer tint, pretty finish), Trader Joe’s Daily Sunscreen (SuperGoop dupe, love it for reapplying with a beauty blender), Skin1004 Cica Sunfit (so good for my rosacea, perfect to use instead of moisturizer), Anessa sunscreen milk spf 50 (pretty soft finish, thin and lightweight, great under makeup, holds up BEAUTIFULLY in the heat and humidity). 42, dry leaning combo skin, rosacea, sensitive reactive skin, very very VERY hot and humid climate with wicked sun. Wear hats y’all.
I love Tatcha Silkscreen for my face. No white cast and goes great under my makeup. I’m currently using a non Sephora brand sunscreen for my hands and body and I love it. Moisturizing, no cast, absorbs quickly.
For those of you (US) who have HSA/FSA, there's a whole section on Sephora of eligible sunscreens. So get yourself your bougey sunscreen with those benefits! I use Inistree Watery Sun Gel (or similarly named) which isn't sold at Sephora.
Health Spending Account?
Yep, Health Spending Account or Flexible Spending Account!
Pretty sure any sunscreen product 15 spf and higher is eligible for HSA/FSA reimbursement.
I have fallen absolutely in love with Canmake mermaid skin gel. No white cast, sits beautifully under makeup, has a lovely satin finish, and best of all IT DOESNT STING MY EYES. I searched so long for a single sunscreen that didn't burn my eyes, and I finally found it!
I like the mermaid skin gel a ton too for days when I’m not going to be active outside, as it’s neither sweat- nor waterproof. I recently got the biotherm waterlover face sunscreen (SPF 50+) for active days.
I have recently fallen back in love with Mermaid Skin! It feels so good on the skin and I don't get greasy at the end of the day. I have been trying to use up my Innisfree one, but I decided to only wear it for times when I don't care if I'm greasy, like the pool or beach. I also don't care much for the Innisfree scent. Mermaid skin is weightless and has virtually no scent! I also like Purito's sunscreen, I can't recall the name. I just wish Canmake made a value size bottle of mermaid skin, I use them up pretty quickly, but at least it's affordable.
Skip Sephora get Korean sunscreen
I second this. Just got 6 bottles off of Stylevana for $50. It's better sunscreen and I don't feel guilty about using it liberally/correctly since it's also so cost effective.
Any sweat proof reccs? I’m a sweaty bitch living in NYC 😩
Supergoop Unscreen Sunscreen
I’ve always used the shiseido sunscreens, they do not leave a white cast on me. I reapply during the day neurotically with the sun stick. Recently I’ve branched out and tried the kosas dream beam in the new golden color and I love it. It gives a nice Dewy and natural finish, I’ve gotten many compliments when wearing. For reference I am quite tan.
the shiseido ultimate sun protector lotion (blue bottle) is my holy grail! has absolutely no white cast and great for darker skin tones
Skin Aqua UV Super Moisture Gel and the Skin Aqua UV Super Moisture Essence for the face. Gel is best for super hot days for me. My fave SPF for the backs of my hand and décolletage is the Neutrogena Beach Defense SPF 70 spray - gives a crazy glow. I use the regular Neutrogena Beach Defense SPF 70 (cream version) on the rest of my body. Love the smell.
I love Supergoop! I like to use Unseen Sunscreen or Glow Screen on my face and Play on my body. Easy to reapply and I didn't notice a white cast.
I love both products, especially the glow sunscreen!!
Face: really liking the inkey list sunscreen I got in the Sephora sun sampler. Satin finish, makeup goes on well over it. Body: currently obsessed with Vacation Chardonnay oil. And the entire vacation brand in general.
I love everything Vacation brand! I just got the sun belt sampler bag and it’s adorable! I’m excited to try the minis out
How's their fragrance (the main one)
It’s nice, but it’s very banana-y and less classic “sunscreen” smelling. I prefer Bobbi Brown Beach for this reason. Vacation’s perfume is also not very long lasting, unfortunately.
https://www.shiseido.com/us/en/ultimate-sun-protector-lotion-spf-60-sunscreen-9990000000220.html Very easy to apply. No white cast. Hydrating, applies like butter
This is my HG. I'm also a runner and I live in Oklahoma and it is the only one that actually lasts through the sweat and doesn't sting my eyes
Looooooove this one too, the scent is so nice. The only thing I hate about it is the price! 🤣🤣
I really love that new lightsaver sunscreen! It has like a mousse consistency, it’s tinted (no white cast!) and really easy to apply and it doesn’t stain my clothes and has a skin like finish, so not matte but also not greasy, it’s a perfect middle!
i have super sensitive/acne prone skin and alot of western sunscreens make me breakout. i however have been using the skin1004 hylau cica sun serum and its amazing! no white cast, dries to a natural finish, and is lightweight. i usually wear it under makeup so i don’t have experience with reapplication but on a clean face i couldn’t imagine it giving any issues.
If someone could formulate a matte sunscreen without a white cast, that’d be great. 😑
A lot of the gel/silicone-y textured ones are like this: Elf Invisible Suntouchable, Trader Joe’s Facial Sunscreen, at least one of the Supergoop’s.
Ultra Violette lean mineral mattifying sunscreen! It’s slightly tinted but blends in totally. I’m fairly skinned, but I put some on a dark tattoo to check for any white cast and I couldn’t see it at all after I rubbed it in.
Hi! Have you tried Bare Republic's matte, sheer mineral sunscreen? It was my go-to when it was available at target. I loved the texture of applying it bc it was silly-smooth and didn't feel thick like most sunscreens, and when it dries it had a very light weight, satin-y matte feel (it didn't leave me feeling like I was wearing thick layer of sunscreen). In terms of white-cast I feel like there was a barely perceptible bit of white cast after application that faded away after a few minutes on its own. I have light, warm/neutral skin for reference.
I highly recommend this LRP one for matte finish https://www.ulta.com/p/anthelios-clear-skin-dry-touch-face-sunscreen-spf-60-xlsImpprod13791275?sku=2301523
Not from Sephora but Beauty of Joseon, it’s a Korean brand. I have bad rosacea and sunscreen triggers it. I’ve used everything from expensive to drug store and it was also awful to the point I just didn’t wear it. I wear this everything and it’s amazing. I don’t even put moisturizer on before because it’s so creamy and moisturizing.
Joseon. Inexpensive and feels good. No color. Sorry, it's not on Sephora. It's k-beauty brand.
Light/no makeup day: roundlab birch juice spf 50 Makeup day: Naturium dew glow spf 50
Paula’s Choice has a face one that I love cause it’s very light….but works very well.
I love Korean chemical sunscreens, but my face doesn’t (watery eyes nonstop), so I swear by Summer Friday’s Shade Drops and will layer a tinted mineral sunscreen on top at times as well. I can never seem to use enough tinted sunscreen for the coverage recommendation, so this is my workaround! Still on the hunt for a good mineral body sunscreen that doesn’t leave a white cast, if anyone has a favorite…
I like Tatcha’s silk sunscreen, La Roche’s ultra light fluid and Beauty of Joseon. I keep a stick of Shiseido in my bag. Currently trying out Innisfree spf 45, Sephira’s mineral spf and La Roche’s water lotion sunscreen.
Skin1004 Hyalu-Cica
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra Light Fluid Face Sunscreen- the mineral tinted one. I swear since I've started using this daily my redness is gone. It doesn't break me out. And I never feel the need to wear foundation. I don't think Sephora sells it- but it's hands down the best I've tried.
What’s the SPF rating on this one? I’ve heard lots of positive reviews about it
Not from Sephora but I love a dewy sunscreen and ROUND LAB BIRCH JUICE MOISTURIZING SUNSCREEN 50++++ is my favorite.
I got a sample of the sulwhasoo one and mama, shes IT. Feels like nothing on the skin and no white cast.
Shiseido sunscreen stick! So easy to reapply too
I love this sunscreen
Love the SUMMER Fridays mineral sunscreen
Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protector 60! I absolutely LOVE this stuff and it NEVER pills😍😍
Skin1004 super lightweight and glowy finish (not sticky) as it’s made for oily-combo skin. My skin loves it so much.
Anessa perfect uv milk. It’s a Japanese sunscreen that has more advanced uv filters, extremely light weight, no white cast, and leaves a smooth matte finish. It’s also relatively affordable around $25 for 60ml.
Where'd you get it for that price? It's also my favorite but I always pay more than that via yesstyle. For reference my next top dog is haruharu wonder in the yellow bottle, super affordable, lovely velvety finish and not too shiny.
Stylevana! They also have a 90ml bottle for like $30.
I'll have to go look again, ty!
I’m a diehard Supergoop Glow Screen lover, it’s a gorgeous product and it’s nice and moisturizing. *However,* it is not in the same class as the other sunscreens I’m going to mention and has been demoted from daily sunscreen to something I mix into my base products (skin tints, foundation) to give me glow (which hopefully means I won’t go through a tube quite as quickly as I have been). Not sold at Sephora but these are my top picks: Beauty of Joseph Ginseng Moist Sun Serum SPF 50+/PA++++ for every day, especially under makeup. It’s a literal SERUM that makes your skin so glowy and sinks in IMMEDIATELY. You put it on after your moisturizer. Zero white cast because it’s basically clear. I went to an event yesterday where it was 77 degrees+ INSIDE and my make up look as good at 5pm as it did at 10am when I left my house. My base was seriously flawless. I don’t know why this product hasn’t gone viral. It’s on sale for $18.90 on their website right now, but it’s like $15 or $16 on Stylevana. I literally ordered two more last night. Vacation** Super Spritz SPF 50 Face Mist lives in my bag for reapplication on the go. This does not disturb my make up and is a beautiful, very fine mist. Super convenient. You do need to spray quite a bit to get good coverage, but the ease of use and convenience of a spray when you’re out and about (and wearing make up!) for reapplication makes it worth it imo. Vacation** Classic Spray SPF 50 Sunscreen for body. You cannot beat the convenience of a spray sunscreen! This doesn’t leave me sticky or greasy, and it’s so easy to apply. Kopari Sun Shield Body Glow SPF 50 for body when you want a little shimmer and glow. Feels so nice on the skin and is hydrating but not oily or goopy. I brought the Vacation sunscreens and the Kopari on a recent bachelorette weekend in Calistoga where we were outside, picnicking and wine tasting in 80 degree heat and direct sun for most of the afternoon on day one and laying out by the pool in 80 degree heat on day 2. All the girls used these and LOVED them. No one got sunburned. These are my summer must haves forever now lol. **Vacation products have a very distinctive sunscreen scent, that for me is nostalgic af and also enjoyable (that beach, slightly sweet, “sunscreen smell”), but very obviously scented. If you’re sensitive to fragrance, test these before buying!
Vacation is amazing! Their mineral sunscreens for the face and body are currently my favorite #1 sunscreens. Shake Shake spf 50 mineral milk face sunscreen is perfection. I gifted a Shake Shake bottle to my sister and our dad’s dermatologist. My sister and I are so obsessed with their Shake Shake sunscreen which contains so many good skincare ingredients, applies and wears beautifully and comfortably and makes our skin look and feel healthier with a glow.
Dune Suncare is my current fav. I don’t think it’s avail at Sephora, maybe ulta as well as Amazon Supergoop is good Elta md is good Saie if you want something tinted
Okay this is going to sound crazy but hear me out: I'm a VERY fair-skinned 40-year-old woman, I have ZERO face wrinkles and ZERO sunspots/face freckles, and for 23 years I have been using Oil of Olay Age Defying ***Classic*** Daily Renewal Lotion | Beta-Hydroxy Acid with Sunscreen SPF 15. I constantly get comments on my young, healthy looking skin. This is my everyday, before makeup lotion. TWENTY THREE YEARS. No white cast, no greasiness. Nothing. Only applied once in the mornings. It's the only constant that I have ever had in my skincare routine, *ever*. My face never sunburns. Granted, if I'm going to spend an INTENSE day in the direct sun, say in a tropical environment or something way out of the ordinary, I will do an SPF 50 (lately it's been LANIEGE Hydro UV Defense Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50, but it's still fairly greasy and I'm ALWAYS looking for the next best high SPF for face, but I've never yet found that holy grail and I try so many, so often. Definitely don't try the Glow Recipe SPF 50, it pilled on my face so bad). So I'll be studying these comments for consensus! But for an everyday, under-makeup sun protection, I swear my life on good ol' Oil of Olay.
the downvote is wild. say it with your whole chest weirdo
Used my HSA to get La Mer sunscreen and I absolutely love it, it’s light weight, absorbs instantly and has no fragrance.
Face: Innisfree (chemical one, not mineral) Body: SunBum Neither leave white cast
Is mineral one bad?
I use Sun Bum, I think it smells great and comes in cute looking bottles.
For my face, I really like the INN Beauty Project Mineral Sun Glow. It’s tinted and it blends in beautifully.. Better than most tinted sunscreens I’ve seen. I look hydrated after but not too glowy. Sometimes I’ll put the Supergoop Glow Screen over that because I love a bronzy/dewey finish.
Face is elf invisible (the supposed dupe for supergoop unseen, which I prefer but using the recommended amount gets costly). I top off my face every 2 hours with the supergoop unseen stick (which I think isn’t at Sephora but they have the glow stick). Neither of this is oily or matte, I would say just natural. I’ve also been loving the IT cosmetics one but I will warn it’s a bit oily but easy to fix with powder. And works well under makeup that is a bit drier (pot concealers, foundation sticks).
NUMBUZIN SUNSCREEN- the blue one. ITS SUPREME
For face I love the Sun Bum Daily 50 face gel. It feels like a primer going on, but it’s so lightweight, and there’s no crazy white cast.
Round lab birch sunscreen for face! It’s $28 https://roundlab.com/products/round-lab-birch-moisturizing-sunscreen-spf-50-pa
I use Innisfree Mineral Sunscreen SPF 45. It doesn’t give me a white cast (I’m fair-neutral skintone) it blends easily, it can make you a little shiny, but I wear powder over it anyways so it didn’t bother me. It doesn’t pill with your foundation or powders either
Mad rabbit for my ink, summer Fridays (no tint) for face, good ole sun bum for beach days
I have become obsessed with Naked Sundays. I use the sheer tint on my face before primer. They also have a setting spray with SPF.
My skin has changed since I got pregnant so I’m really loving my Dr. Jarr+ Every Sun Day sunscreen. Beforehand, I loved wearing Innisfree’s sunscreen but I find that to be too dewy for me rn.
I’m a fan of Paula’s choice youth extending sunscreen. Blends easily and no white cast.
Tried the Cayskin in Mexico last week, and LOVED it. It doesn’t leave any film or make you feel plasticky. I had a spray of Cayskin and a spray of Supergoop and the Cayskin lasted us the first 3-4 days! We didn’t burn either. We usually just go with Supergoop bc we know it works for us and the beach trips we take. I also branched out and tried Keihls face sunscreen and I will never go back to anything else:) All of these are man approved for those with men who are weird abut sunscreen feels etc. Eta- we leave again Wednesday for Mexico round 2 and we have repurchased 2 bottles do Cayskin and no supergoop :)
Face: Shiseido Urban Environment Oil Free SPF 42 for the summer as it’s more mattifying, and the Fresh Moisture version in the winter when I get drier as it’s dewy finish. Body: Sun Bum Original SPF 50 or 70
omi sunbears!!! the ONLY sunscreen that works with makeup and my oily asf skin
Sun Bum, Sol de Janeiro, Salt & Stone, Coola
Goop, La Roche Posay & Shiseido
Any spray for the body will do; but the Biore Aqua Rich got face! It doesn't feel greasy and checks all my boxes. I have the Elta MD Clear, and I don't use it anymore as the Biore is better.
Honestly for body, nothing comes close to Coppertone kids 50 spf. I never burn with it, it spreads smoothly, doesn't leave a big white cast. For face, I haven't found anything amazing so far. I use Glowscreen but it's become so expensive in Canada that I won't repurchase.
I love the shiseido stick and the laneige ones
The Saint Jane sun ritual is my holy grail for my face. Its so calming and feels so soft. It uses zinc oxide so its gentle on my skin and has a slight yellowy tint from the cbd to offset any whitecast that may happen. The absolute best ☀️
The clinique mineral sunscreen has no cast, very lightweight, goes well under makeup, does not break my acne prone skin out, BUT, it’s $50 for the smallest bottle.
Clinique City Block for my face. It’s amazing, a hybrid mineral sunscreen - no shine, doesn’t feel heavy. And for my body I only use “we are feel good” 50+ coconut sunscreen. Light, non greasy smells divine.
Ultrasun. It’s a Swiss brand you can get online. Best sunscreen I’ve ever used. I also like Nivea Water Gel for quick trips into the sun.
Isdin Magic Fusion Water. It's just perfect for me: no irritation, really water-like texture, full hidratation.
Is it fragrance free?
Trader Joe’s facial sunscreen tbh. No white cast. Goes on like a nice smooth primer. Doesn’t make me shiny I also like the Vacation spf facial mist. Goes on like a setting spray.
For my face, I use either Beauty of Joseon or Neutrogena HydroBoost Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer with SPF 50 sunscreen. I opt for Neutrogena on days when my skin feels a bit dry. These are the only two sunscreens that don't make my skin oily.
For face right now, I really like the Beekman milk primer, and for body I love the original Vacation or Black Girl Sunscreen. None of them leave a white cast, go on light, and leave a natural finish.
Ultra Violette Supreme!!! Absolute game-changer!
Paula’s choice tinted spf
Dr v inzincable I’ve had people use mine and come back to take pics of the bottle. Sinks in, no white cast, all physical spf50
Eucerin Age Defense + Hyaluronic Acid 50 SPF. Perfect if you love the glow. Also, as a brown girl I can definitely say there is no white cast.
Maybe unpopular opinion but no Sephora sunscreen even comes CLOSE to Asian beauty sunscreens. They just have such better filters that are still not fda approved here. Uvulal A, tinosorb s, and other Asian UV filters will always be more cosmetically elegant and comfortable than American filters will ever be
Been using only Coola for seven years. Tried other stuff but always come back to it. Absolute best.
The only and I mean ONLY sunscreen I use on my face is SkinSuit by Skin Authority, and you cannot get it at Sephora or Ulta.
The La Roche Posay Double Repair SPF 30 is incredible. It has no gross feel or smell and leaves my skin so soft. For body I adore the Hempz Yuzu and Starfruit SPF 30. It is not waterproof but I don’t want or need that for every day (waterproof feels heavy and this one feels like nada is on and it just smells like fruit)
I use altruist sunscreen! It’s not at sephora, I have to order it on UK amazon and ship it to the US. I love it so much though so it’s worth it! And I use supergoop glow stick too and banana boat SPF lip balm
Supergoop is the GOAT.
One of my favorite sunscreens is Mentholatum's
I use it all year round.
I use the ultra Violette SPF50 daydream screen tinted veil. I like using tinted sunscreen because it evens out my skin tone.
I like La Roche Posay double repair face moisturizer with SPF 30 when I’m feeling lazy. It does sometimes burn my eyes. Innisfree invisible daily use spf 36 is my favorite. I have encountered no burning, pilling, or breakouts from it. I also use supergoop skin tint which has SPF and I love that it gives me a no make up finish. I love the Dr. Jart tiger-grass cicapair green color correcting cream. It is my holy Grail product that I apply on mosquito bites and any redness. If I’m going to be out in the sun for a while, I apply it quite liberally on my legs and arms. It is SPF as well. For some reason, it also keeps mosquitoes from eating me alive.
Innisfree daily defense
Shiseido ultimate sun protector, coppertone baby and beauty of joseon probiotic sof. Shiseido leaves a nice your skin but better finish, coppertone has a slight white cast but not extreme, where it does have a blurring effect, beauty of joseon has a healthy skin finish, no white cast. Shiseido needs to sink into the skin for about 10 min before you apply makeup, coppertone works with makeup immediately, and so does beauty of joseon. None of them are a pain to reapply. I usually layer coppertone with either of them for that extra layer of protection. My skin is combo normally, but now I am on accutane and they still work just as well. Highly recommend! Coppertone also has smth in it that seems to soothe my easily inflamed skin.
For face I use first aid beauty mineral sunscreen - the one with the yellow lid. No white cast at all
Color science flex and Pavise
EltaMD for face and Sun Bum for body!
Supergoop unseen
Isdin, Tatcha, kosas, eltamd sport
Avène sunscreen 50 SPF and La Roche Posay Anthelios 50 SPF
Tatcha!!! It’s expensive but amazing
Shiseido sunscreen stick SPF 50
Face sunscreens: Beauty of Joseon SPF 50 (Korean) Le Roche Posay Toleriane SPF 30 Body: super Goop
La Roche-Posay anthelios UVMune400 oil-control fluid SPF 50+. Super high protection, leaves a perfect finish and the (very faint) floral smell disappears quickly. New UV filters so protects MUCH better than American sunscreen. Buy it on Soin-et-Nature website. For body: Avene intense protect SPF 50+. Similar amazing protection as LRP but bigger bottle and fragrance free. Only reason I don’t use this on my face is that it has a slight yellow cast that I don’t mind at all for beach days but don’t want to accidentally stain any clothing
I use Black Girl Sunscreen Make it Hybrid. No white cast unless I use way too much and does great under makeup AND alone.
Black Girl SunScreen hands down my favorite
Paula’s Choice
Not from Sephora, but I love Neogen’s sunscreen.
Ambre Solaire by Garnier if you can find it! Leaves skin hydrated and you get a gorgeous color tan, if that’s what you’re going for
I’ve tried so many, but I keep going back to Supergoop. The unseen, oil, and glow screen are my faves.
COOLA! I use the fragrance free for my face For the body I use their scented ones and they smell sooo good
