Drugstore Sunscreens to Stock Up on for Summer

Best Anti-Aging Sunscreen

Vichy LiftActive Peptide-C Sunscreen SPF 30

If you like to keep your skincare routine short and efficient, this Vichy option is the perfect choice. It’s a facial sunscreen and anti-aging moisturizer in one bottle. Formulated with vitamin C and phyto peptides, it addresses the appearance of wrinkles, dark spots, dullness and firmness — all while brightening and hydrating the skin.

Best Tinted Sunscreen

CeraVe Tinted Sunscreen SPF 30 Sheer Tint

This CeraVe tinted sunscreen with SPF 30 will give you a nice glowy base (great for summer!) that can be worn alone or under foundation. It has a sheer, universal tint that works on all skin tones, feels lightweight and is blendable. Plus, it’s oxybenzone-, paraben-, fragrance- and chemical filter-free. 

Best Sunscreen for Under Makeup

L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Rosy Tone Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen

For those with mature skin types, we love this option from the L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect line. Infused with imperial peony, the moisturizer and sunscreen duo is designed to revive dull skin and give you a brighter, more youthful-looking complexion. The hydrating formula will not only make your face feel softer and smoother, but the SPF 30 will also help protect you from the sun’s damaging UVA and UVB rays. 

Best Sunscreen For Your Hair and Scalp

Sunbum Scalp & Hair Mist SPF 30

This formula makes it easy to remember to protect your hair and scalp, too! It’s fast-drying, non-greasy and works for all hair types.

Best Reef-Safe Sunscreen

COOLA Organic Face Unscented Sunscreen Lotion

For a reef-safe pick that’s lightweight and fragrance-free, opt for this SPF 50 formula. It’s perfect for any skin type and contains antioxidant protection via red raspberry seed oil, meadowfoam seed oil, and prickly pear extract.
