Lightweight Sunscreens You’ll Actually Look Forward to Applying

Our Favorite Lightweight Sunscreens

L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Derm Intensives Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Invisible UV Fluid

If you don’t normally like the way sunscreen looks or feels under makeup, you’ll love this lightweight pick. This sunscreen practically disappears on every skin tone, leaving neither a white cast or an oily sheen. Thanks to vitamins C and E and broad-spectrum UV filters, it protects skin while providing a boost of antioxidants. 

La Roche-Posay Anthelios AOX Antioxidant Serum with SPF 50 Sunscreen

This sunscreen’s light, milky consistency blends in smoothly and leaves skin looking glowy and soft. In addition to broad-spectrum SPF, the formula contains antioxidant-rich serum complex to help enhance skin’s radiance. We love that it’s oil-free and non-comedogenic, too.

Vichy Lift-Activ Peptide-C Sunscreen

Phyto-peptides, vitamin C and Vichy’s mineral-rich spring water give this sunscreen a soothing, antioxidant-enhanced upgrade. The silky consistency sinks in quickly and helps improve the look of wrinkles, dark spots, dull and uneven skin tone overtime.

La Roche-Posay Anthelios Mineral SPF Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid

We love a multitasker, and this product delivers SPF 30, along with long-lasting hydration thanks to the inclusion of hyaluronic acid. It’s gentle enough for all skin types, including sensitive and made with 100% mineral filters.
