As the name suggests, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Rina Allawh, MD, FAAD says this invisible sunscreen is a must-have for those who prefer an easy-breezy formula. "This sunscreen is lightweight, fragrance-free, and has the added bonus of being easy to conceal," she tells TotalBeauty. "It also has an invisible appearance on the skin, whether you wear it with, or without makeup."
Sensitive skin users will want to keep tabs on this tinted sunscreen: Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Marie Hayag, MD explains that it blends smoothly on all skin types, and contains skin-boosting ingredients like hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid, according to a 2012 study published in Dermato Endocrinology is a commonly used skin care ingredient that boosts your skin's moisture retention. This, in turn, helps to prevent the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.
If you are dealing with pigmentation issues (such as melasma), Dr. Hayag suggests grabbing this tinted fluid formulation — it acts like a foundation in order to even out skin tone.
Additionally, it also contains specially-formulated DNA Repairsomes, which help to repair wrinkles and lines, while also working to reverse any existing sun damage you may be dealing with.
"This mineral broad-spectrum sunscreen contains zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, is water-resistant, and reef safe," Dr. Hayag says. "And since it glides and melts into the skin upon application, it is also excellent for people with facial hair, and other hair-bearing areas such as the back and chest."
Suitable for men, women, and children alike, Dr. Hayag explains that this sunscreen stick is not only portable, but it's also user-friendly, as it applies easily onto the skin, and provides both blue light and infrared protection. And since this formula is water-resistant for 80 minutes, she encourages tucking it in your beach bag before you catch some waves.
