Sunscreen & After Sun

Sunscreens are grouped here by texture, since texture is what most people choose on once an SPF level is decided. The section covers watery gels, creams and lotions, stick and spray formats, and tone-up or tinted formulas that add a light finish.

Browse sunscreen by texture

• Gel & Watery Sunscreen — lightweight SPF gels, fluids and essences.
• Sunscreen Cream & Lotion — SPF creams, lotions and sun blocks for face and body.
• Sunscreen Stick & Spray — stick and spray formats suited to reapplication.
• Tone-Up & Tinted Sunscreen — SPF formulas that add a tint or tone-up finish.

What to compare

Check the SPF number and, where stated, the PA rating for UVA protection. Mineral and chemical filters both appear in this range and differ in finish. Sunscreen is used in larger amounts than most facial products, so bottle size matters when comparing price.
