Sunscreen formulas have come a long way. Gone are the days when they were thick, goopy messes that left a white cast on your skin. Recently, a slew of sunscreen serums hit the market and they just may be the most lightweight sunscreens we've come across yet.
Sunscreen serums have sheer, silky formulas that sink right into your skin without any residue left behind. That means they're good options for all skin tones. In addition to containing SPF, they're also loaded with ingredients that have other skin benefits like hyaluronic acid for hydration and vitamin C for brightening.
