Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protector Lotion SPF 50+ Sunscreen
Shiseido’s luxe SPF earned the highest score in GH Beauty Lab testing for not making skin feel dehydrated, making it an ideal match for those with dry skin types. It also ranked highly for rinsing off easily, not leaving a white film on skin, and having a pleasant fragrance. One drawback: The sunscreen comes at a higher cost than most.
Some users found it felt runny and slippery on skin, but one tester loved “the silky feel when the product was applied — felt luxurious and more like a moisturizer than a sunscreen!” Another user’s take: “Quite light and fresh; this is actually one of the best lotion sunscreens I think I have ever used.”
Sun Bum Mineral SPF 30 Sunscreen Face Lotion
The “silky texture” of this Sun Bum sunscreen was a hit among GH Beauty Lab testers. It had a “velvet feel” and didn’t make skin shiny or oily. The sunscreen earned a near-perfect score for not causing irritation or redness and many testers found that it worked under makeup. However, some reported a white cast or slight grayish tone after application. “Very easy to apply and non-sticky,” a tester commented. “This product feels silky on my skin and looks so natural.”
