Sunscreen has long been considered the nonnegotiable final step in any good a.m. skin-care routine. But if the added effort of piling on yet another product is what’s keeping you from wearing SPF every day, we’ve got good news: With each of the following SPF-infused skin-care products, you can now work your protection into nearly every part of your regimen, leaving you with no excuse to make sunscreen a daily staple.

Our favorite part of these SPF products is that they do a whole lot more than just defend against UV damage. Each and every one is infused with additional active ingredients to offer bonus skin benefits. Whether you’re looking to reduce discoloration, diminish signs of aging, or simply keep your dry complexion hydrated, there’s something here for you.

Kakadu plum has 100 times the amount of vitamin C as an orange, allowing this sunscreen to provide ultimate protection against environmental agressors. It also has a blend of nourishing oils like jojoba and squalane and soothing ingredients like marshmallow root and aloe. Thanks to Micro-Sperse Dispersion Technology that uses high pressure to create small particles, this formula spreads with ease.

What dermatologists say

“Mineral sunscreens are less likely to cause irritation compared to chemical sunscreeen ingredients, so mineral formulations are a good choice for sensitive skin. This formulation also contains emollients to support the skin barrier, including triglycerides, argan oil, jojoba seed oil, safflower seed oil, squalane, and castor oil. And bisabolol, marshmallow root extract, calendula, and aloe vera have soothing, anti-inflammatory properties.” —Hadley King, MD

What testers say

“This was one of my favorites that I tried, and the one I kept reaching for over and over again. It almost has the consistency of a gel or water based product, and glides on very smoothly and really absorbs well into the skin. While I love a classic sunscreen smell, I really appreciated that this was very lightly fragranced—it smells lightly fruity, but not in a chemical-y or fake way. My skin is super-sensitive and will break out into a rash and gets red fairly easily, but this didn’t cause any reaction—it just made my complexion feel hydrated and look wonderfully bright and glossy.” — Jen Snyder, former senior director, experiential + brand projects

Active Ingredients

Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide, Kakadu plum

Pros

  • Mineral formula
  • SPF 33
  • Lightweight, milky texture

Cons

  • Not water resistant
  • Potential white cast

Cetaphil, Healthy Radiance Whipped Day Cream — $25

Shop Now

Best SPF moisturizer for sensitive skin

Whipped marshmallow is the best way to describe Cetaphil’s Healthy Radiance Cream. The formula is powered by hydrators and antioxidants like niacinamide to combat stressors on the skin and reduce the appearance of dark spots. It’s creamy, extremely hydrating, and feels like butter on the skin. Even more, it’s free of fragrances and is designed for sensitive skin types.

What dermatologists say

“Chemical sunscreen formulation that also contains humectants like glycerin to hydrate the skin, emollients like fatty acids to support the skin barrier, and occlusives like dimethicone to help lock in moisture. Also contains 2% niacinamide, which can help improve tone and texture and increase ceramide production in the skin, which strengthens the skin barrier.” — Dr. King

What testers say

“I absolutely loved how this moisturizer felt on my dry skin. Soft and like whipped butter, this moisturizer left my skin feeling more hydrated and plump. I also loved that it does double duty as a moisturizer and sunscreen, so I can eliminate steps in my skin-care routine while protecting myself. It’s definitely going to come in handy all year, especially when the winter months strike.” — Kayla Hui, commerce writer

Active Ingredients

I’ve long been a fan of Vichy’s vitamin C serum, and was *so* excited to test the sunscreen-ified version of the formula. I love that it gives me my daily dose of sun-protective SPF and brightening-fighting vitamin C in a single tube, and the fact that I can pick it up at the drugstore simply doesn’t hurt. —Weiner

Best SPF moisturizer for oily skin

If you’re blemish-prone, this one-and-done moisturizer gives you protection and hydration all at once.

What dermatologists say

“This is a chemical sunscreen formulation that’s oil free and non-comedogenic. It contains Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate as well as other ingredients that absorb oil and provide a matte finish.” — Dr. King

What testers say

My acne-prone, oily skin loves this formula, which is super lightweight and never clogs pores. It’s oil-absorbing, so instead of leaving my complexion greasy, it leaves it matte-like (but not overly dry, either). This is my go-to whenever I’m breaking out, or just want a solid, one-and-done SPF moisturizer.” —Gina Vaynshteyn, commerce director

Active Ingredients

Avobenzone, Octisalate, Octocrylene

Peter Thomas Roth, Max Vitamin D-Fense SPF 50 Sunscreen Serum — $42

Best anti-aging SPF serum

Any dermatologist will tell you that wearing SPF is the best way to protect against visible signs of skin aging (which, by the way, are caused by UV exposure), but this formula goes above and beyond to treat past *and* future fine future. In addition to offering SPF 50, it’s made with CoQ10, a potent antioxidant that defends against free radical damage and promotes skin elasticity.

What dermatologists say

“CoQ10 is an important antioxidant normally found in the epidermis, which is the outermost layer of the skin. UVA/UVB exposure can decrease CoQ10 in the skin which increases the risk of free radical damage. The addition of CoQ10 can help replete CoQ10 providing protection against premature skin aging.” — Carmen Castilla, MD

What testers say

“Absolutely STELLAR face sunscreen—perhaps the best one I’ve ever used. The fragrance is light but recognizable as classic SPF, the texture is silky, and after applying, my skin was luminous and bouncy to the touch. Silky-smooth and liquidy. No chalkiness or stickiness. Looks white outside of the bottle, but goes on clear! Immediately hydrated, bouncy, smooth feeling, looked Dewy and glowing with even skin texture. It might be in my head, but I feel like my skin is way more dewy after using it for a few days. BEST FACE SUNSCREEN EVER. I’ll be using it every day from now on.” —Rosie Bellon, digital designer

Best anti-aging SPF moisturizer

Crows feet, WiFi lines, sun spots—whatever you’re trying to “correct,” this anti-aging moisturizer from Roc has got you covered. It’s the ultimate multitasker, and hydrates, protects, plumps, and smooths in one fell swoop. The gel-cream is almost cool to the touch, perfect for layering over skin on hot summer days. Once it’s on, it goes to work fast, re-plumping skin and evening out its texture with both hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. As soon as you’re done blending it in (which it does seamlessly), skin feels bouncier and plumper, like it just chugged a Stanley tumbler full of water.

What dermatologists say

“This chemical sunscreen formulation provides daily sun protection, the most effective topical anti-aging option. It contains hyaluronic acid, which is a humectant which helps to hydrate the skin.” —Dr. King

What testers say

True to its original formula, it’s a vitamin C rockstar and contains 20 percent of the brightening vitamin in every bottle. Only this version comes with SPF 50, too, making it a mega-multitasker everyone should have stored in their medicine cabinets. Yes, the price tag is steep, but it’s worth it—the vitamin c/mineral SPF combo work in tandem to immediately brighten your skin, slowly but surely reversing signs of aging while protecting it from even further damage.

What dermatologists say

“It contains vitamin C, which can help to brighten skin, as well as EGCG, which contributes additional antioxidant properties.” — Dr. King

What testers say
