Bioderma's sunscreens should not be slept on! We recently got our hands on their tinted sunscreen and have been loving it more than we’d like to admit. It has this watery, light, cream-like texture that blends in like a dream, offers a high UVA/UVB anti-shine protection, and is non-comedogenic as well. Yes, it's on the pricey side of things, but absolutely worth every penny.

Innisfree really checks all the boxes when it comes to superior products. With recycled packaging, a reconfigured formula, clean ingredients, and effectiveness, this Innisfree sunscreen is a super trooper that we can’t recommend enough. It contains ingredients like glycol and glycerin, which make it super hydrating and leave a subtle plump glow on the skin that is great for everyday use.

Yes, it's definitely on the steeper side of things, but we recommend it if you don't mind spending the buck.
