"This sunscreen company has a great reputation for making effective, safe sunscreens for all lifestyles. I particularly love this one by Blue Lizard — it is my go-to sunscreen for my kids. Not only does it provide water-resistant coverage that is SPF30+ with physical sun blockers, it also comes in a fun bottle cap that turns blue when exposed to UV light. The color change is just a great visual reminder to reapply sunscreen when you're out and about." — Dr. Hu
"I love this gentle, hydrating but not overly rich, sunscreen for people with acne or rosacea prone skin. A lot of times, people with acne and rosacea skip sunscreen because they either break out from sunscreen or get irritated and red when using certain SPF. This particular SPF by EltaMD is formulated with a noncomedogenic combination of hyaluronic acid to hydrate, niacinamide to minimize redness and improve skin quality and zinc to protect against UV damage. It's also worth noting that while it has a chemical filter, it's not on the list published by the study." — Dr. Hu
"I find this zinc oxide based formulation to be cosmetically elegant. It rubs on nicely, is well tolerated and soothing to the skin. From an efficacy standpoint, it blocks out the full UV spectrum and has DNA repair enzymes to help prevent skin cancer." — Dr. Kenneth Mark, MD and cosmetic dermatology expert
"This is my favorite as it also has an 'ultralight emulsion,' cosmetically pleasing consistency, and rubs in nicely. Additionally, it has the highest percentage of zinc oxide of sunscreens that contain DNA repair enzymes, and contains antioxidants, vitamin C and vitamin E. In addition, they have done studies to prove that daily use of this product actually decreases the number of pre-cancers (actinic keratoses)." — Dr. Mark
"This formula is very light and silky and great for everyday use because it doesn't feel like a typical sunscreen. It contains 17 percent zinc oxide and 2 percent titanium dioxide, plus it has great antioxidants including, vitamin C, green tea, cranberry fruit and pomegranate extracts." — Dr. Marie Hayag, MD and founder of 5th Avenue Aesthetics
