Best Sunscreens for Your Face, According to Experts




Light as Air Sunscreen Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 50Banana Boat Light as Air Sunscreen Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 50

You’ll look forward to using this GH Beauty Lab test-winning Banana Boat face SPF formula daily, thanks to a formula so weightless and an aroma so appealing. The lotion tallied top marks for its “light, tropical” fragrance, not running into eyes or causing them to tear, and no tacky film left on skin (though some did mention a faint sheen). The bargain-priced formula “smells so nice” and “gave me a happy feeling,” testers noted.

Mineral SPF 30 Non-Tinted Sunscreen Face Lotion

Sun Bum Mineral SPF 30 Non-Tinted Sunscreen Face Lotion

Sun Bum’s SPF face lotion with all physical mineral active ingredients was a top performer in GH Beauty Lab testing. The gentle, non-greasy formula earned a near-perfect score for not causing skin irritation or redness. It also worked well with makeup and wasn’t tacky. Two caveats: It could leave a white residue and be drying on skin. “This product feels silky on my skin and looks so natural,” a tester remarked.
