Video reviews

Best for

• Dry or normal skin on medium to deep skin tones
• An affordable face-and-body daily sunscreen
• People who dislike the white cast of mineral sunscreens

• Sensitive or melasma-prone skin that wants a tinted mineral SPF
• Light to medium skin tones that want a sheer, makeup-friendly base

Strengths

Dries clear with no white cast on deep skin tones
Moisturizing enough to double as a lotion
Water resistant for 80 minutes and usable on face and body

100% mineral SPF 50 with 11% titanium dioxide
Iron-oxide tint offsets white cast and adds visible-light coverage
Fragrance-free, oil-free and non-comedogenic

Watch-outs

Glowy finish can feel heavy or look shiny on oily skin
Plant oils and cocoa butter make it a less obvious pick for very acne-prone skin

SPF 50 version comes in only one universal tint
The new deeper shades are a different SPF 40 formula, which can confuse shoppers
