“This is the only sunscreen I use — it never makes my super sensitive skin break out and doesn’t leave a white cast,” says NBC Select editorial director Lauren Swanson. “I use it so much that I have it on subscribe and save from Amazon, so I never run out.” NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio is also a fan of this sunscreen: “It’s the only SPF I’ve tried that doesn’t irritate my rosacea-prone skin,” she says.
This mineral sunscreen, which has a 4.5-star average rating from over 14,500 reviews on Amazon, is suitable for all skin types, especially combination, oily and acne-prone skin. The water-resistant formula is free of common irritants and is noncomedogenic, meaning it won’t clog your pores. It also has a light tint to easily blend into your skin tone and a matte finish to minimize oiliness, according to the brand.
This daytime moisturizer combines ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and willow bark extract (a source of salicylic acid) to protect, hydrate and gently exfoliate the skin, according to the brand. Reviewers love that it’s lightweight and doesn’t leave behind a greasy residue. They also love pairing it with its matching PM moisturizer, which has a slightly thicker consistency. It has a 4.6-star average rating from over 5,400 reviews on Amazon.
My family stocks up on this sunscreen for the summer because we’re constantly outdoors while my younger siblings have games and practices, and it’s an excellent option for all our varying ages and skin types. It’s gentle and doesn’t irritate our sensitive skin, and we love that no matter how hot and sweaty we get, it doesn’t sting, burn or drip. This sunscreen is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, according to the brand.
NBC Select commerce editor Cory Fernandez loves using this tinted sunscreen because it’s gentle on his skin and doesn’t irritate his eyes (which many other sunscreens do, he says). “It blends in amazingly well on my skin within minutes, which is difficult to find as someone with a darker complexion,” says Fernandez. “Plus, a little goes a long way; I don’t have to use a ton of pumps to feel fully covered.”
If you’re looking for a sheer, lightweight and hydrating daily sunscreen, consider this option, which has a 4.7-star average rating from over 18,300 reviews on Amazon. The broad-spectrum, noncomedogenic SPF has hyaluronic acid to retain moisture and hydrate the skin. It also helps improve fine lines and flaky skin, according to the brand.
