Our Favorite Sunscreens for Mature Skin

La Roche-Posay Anthelios UV Correct Face Sunscreen SPF 70 With Niacinamide

This lightweight, daily anti-aging sunscreen from La Roche-Posay is enriched with niacinamide to help correct skincare concerns such as fine lines, uneven skin tone and rough skin texture. That means that in addition to protecting your skin from sun damage, it helps you achieve smoother, more even-looking skin.

SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50

If you feel your skin has started to look duller with age, give this SkinCeuticals sunscreen a go. It leaves your complexion glowing with a nice, radiant finish. Formulated with zinc oxide and artemia salina, it provides protection from UV rays and increases skin’s resistance to UV- and heat-induced stress.

Vichy LiftActiv Peptide-C Sunscreen SPF 30 

This Vichy formula is ideal for mature skin types. With a blend of phyto peptides, vitamin C and Vichy mineral water, the hydrating lotion helps improve the look of wrinkles, dark spots, uneven skin tone and the loss of definition and firmness. It’s also paraben-free and allergy-tested.

L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Collagen Expert Day Perfect Moisturizer With SPF 30

Specifically formulated to retighten and rehydrate mature skin, this peptide-packed day cream is the perfect addition to your morning skincare routine. The hydrating formula helps to restore your skin’s firmness and bounce. While we would still layer a sunscreen on top of this moisturizer, it’s a great base of SPF 30.

CeraVe Hydrating Sunscreen SPF 50

If your skin has been feeling dry, this affordable drugstore pick from CeraVe may be able to help. It has hydrating ingredients like ceramides and niacinamide to help restore the skin’s moisture barrier and lock in hydration. It’s also non-comedogenic and oil-, fragrance-, paraben- and oxybenzone-free.

IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream Full-Coverage Foundation With SPF 50+

We love makeup products that also offer sun protection, and this multitasking CC cream is one of our favorites. It’s a full-coverage foundation that doubles as an anti-aging serum and moisturizer, thanks to ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and vitamin E. The best part? It has an SPF of 50.

Lancôme UV Expert Defense Aquagel SPF 50+ Primer & Moisturizer

Looking for a product that checks off more than just one box? Look no further than this Lancôme option. It’s a face primer, moisturizer and sunscreen all in one. The formula glides onto the skin and absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky or greasy finish. Plus, it contains antioxidants like vitamin E.

Dr. Barbara Sturm Sun Drops SPF 50

If you’re not a fan of lotion sunscreens, this lightweight serum sunscreen might be a good fit for you. It provides SPF 50 sun protection against UVA and UVB rays, meaning it combats both photo-aging and sunburn.

Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen

Our favorite thing about the Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen is that it is completely invisible, so you don’t have to worry about a white cast or product settling into lines on your face. If you plan to wear makeup with your sunscreen, this option is a must-have — it even acts as a gripping primer.
