DRMTLGY Anti-Aging Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 46

This all-in-one sunscreen provides sheer coverage, adds a healthy glow to your skin, and blends in with most skin tones once it's rubbed in. According to the brand, their tinted SPF 46 "improves your skin's hydration and texture over time." Plus, it has a clean formula with both mineral and chemical filters to block out UVA and UVB rays. What doesn't this tinted SPF do?

BUY IT: Amazon, $29

Innisfree Daily UV Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 36

This chemical sunscreen is a top-rated pick on Amazon, and we totally get it. It's hydrating, soothing, and doesn't leave behind a white cast. That means it's perfect for everyday use. Best of all, this formula includes great ingredients like green tea, cica, and sunflower seed oil to hydrate and calm your skin.

BUY IT: Amazon, $18

Kinship Self Reflect Probiotic Moisturizing Sunscreen Zinc Oxide SPF 32

This mineral sunscreen goes where others don’t. With 22.4 percent non-nano Zinc Oxide, Kinship’s formula offers high coverage without the stark white cast that other high percentage mineral sunscreens create. Once it’s all rubbed in, you’ll be left with a healthy, moisturized glow.

BUY IT: Ulta, $28

EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46

Dermatologists recommend this mineral-based sunscreen for even the most sensitive skin. It’s oil-free, non-greasy, and non-comedogenic, making it a great pick for acne-prone skin as well. Plus, it contains popular skin-loving ingredients like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid.

BUY IT: Amazon, $41

Black Girl Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30

This sunscreen goes on clear and it’s infused with moisturizing jojoba and avocado! Plus, it’s fragrance-free and leaves your skin looking glowy and fresh. If you want a cast-free option that also plays well underneath makeup, this one’s for you.

BUY IT: Target, $16

Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40 PA+++

The name says it all! This sunscreen uses chemical filters to protect your skin and looks virtually invisible once it’s applied. It leaves a silky, smooth finish to your skin and it's reef-safe as well.

CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30

If you’re looking for a tinted mineral option, this sunscreen is for you. With three essential ceramides and niacinamide, this pick from CeraVe tackles skincare and sunblock at once.

Neutrogena Invisible Daily Defense Serum SPF 60

Shiseido Clear Sunscreen Stick SPF 50+

Cotz Flawless Complexion SPF 50

"Vanishing Zinc Oxide" is the big claim behind this mineral sunscreen. It goes on with a slight light tint, but as you rub it in, the cast dissipates and leaves you with a virtually clear finish on your skin—and that’s pretty impressive coming from a high percentage mineral formula!

BUY IT: Amazon, $30

La Roche-Posay Melt-In Milk SPF 60

This pick is great for both face and body. It uses Cell-Ox Shield technology to protect your skin and includes antioxidants for an added boost. Best of all, it’s recommended for all skin types!
