Classic with a Twist
Active Ingredients: Chemical
Why It's Worth the Price: Oil sunscreens are having a moment. For the first time, you can get the glistening-skin look with serious SPF. This one has the iconic Clarins scent (citrusy and beachy at the same time) leaves behind a pretty but non-greasy sheen and you can even use it on your hair to prevent dryness from sun, salt and chlorine.

Sun Spot Eliminator
Active Ingredients: Physical and chemical
Why It's Worth the Price: This silky cream is as much a brightening product as it is a sunscreen. It contains peony extract, licorice and vitamin C to lighten dark spots over time. It's also packed with hyaluronic acid for extra moisture, and -- of course -- it gives you major sun protection.

Sporty 'Screen
Active Ingredients: Chemical
Why It's Worth the Price: This cream is lighter than you'd expect -- it becomes a gel-like texture when you rub it in. In addition to long-lasting, sweat-proof SPF, it's also loaded with antioxidants for added protection from sun and pollution.

Ultra Hydrating
Active Ingredients: Chemical
Why It's Worth the Price: Meadowfoam and argan oil make this spray oil incredibly moisturizing, but it sinks in fast and doesn't leave behind any residue. The oil consistency also helps the SPF last through laps in the pool or a dip in the ocean. And I love the subtle citrus scent.

Extra Special Spray
Active Ingredients: Physical
Why It's Worth the Price: It's a physical spray! Trust me -- they're hard to come by. Because mineral particles are larger than chemical particles, it's difficult to get them to fit through the nozzle of a spray bottle. Soleil Toujours made it happen -- and they did it well. Unlike the invisible sprays you're used to, this one goes on white so you can see the spots you missed. Then, it rubs in and disappears. The formula also contains red algae, vitamin C, vitamin E, green tea leaf extract and a slew of other botanicals for bonus anti-aging benefits.
