Not sure which SPFs are best? Here's what derms have to say

"This sunscreen delivers broad spectrum protection in a base enriched with colloidal oatmeal. Oat extract has been shown to soothe, hydrate and protect the skin, which is especially useful if you are dry or sensitive. Plus. we know that UV light can damage the skin barrier, making oat extract a useful ingredient in sunscreen." — Dr. Joshua Zeichner, MD, and the director of cosmetic & clinical research in dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital

"This all natural sunscreen uses only zinc oxide as its UV blocker. Unlike most mineral sunscreens which leave a white film on the skin, this sunscreen rubs in fully and does not leave the skin feeling greasy or heavy." — Dr. Zeichner

"This is absolutely one of my favorite sunscreens. It is a physical blocker with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide which are usually the safer ingredients for people with sensitive skin. This sunscreen is also fragrance-free and paraben-free, more bonus points for people who have had allergic reactions with sunscreens. The tint is universal and gives your skin a healthy glow after application. Lastly this sunscreen has thermophilus, an ingredient that helps to protect skin against infrared damage. This is a particularly important benefit for people with melasma." — Dr. Shasha Hu, MD and the dermatologist on the Dr. Brandt Skincare Skin Advisory Board
