The 10 Best Sunscreens on Amazon That Will Protect Your Skin Every Season
Sunscreen is the most important step in your daily routine, regardless of the season. According to dermatologists, protecting your face and body from the sun’s harmful rays is one of the best things you can do for your skin, from maintaining an even complexion to avoiding skin cancer down the road.
If you hate the goopiness, smell or a white cast residue of sunscreen, we’ve got great news for you: The very best sunscreens on Amazon are invisible, scentless and don’t feel like liquid Play-Doh to guard your skin from UV beams. What’s more, the best facial sunscreens can now also help control oil, boost moisture and create a matte finish (so you’re not applying makeup to an oil-slicked face).

Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen
“I was hesitant to purchase this sunscreen because of how expensive it is, but it was totally worth it,” writes an Amazon reviewer. “This sunscreen is perfect! I experienced no peeling or white cast and the texture feels like a foundation primer and doesn’t look or feel greasy.” This Supergoop option is my go-to because it is totally clear, gentle and leaves my skin matte — even my boyfriend (who never wears sunscreen) has started to use it.

Coola Organic Scalp Spray + Hair Sunscreen
Scalps are often forgotten about during the sunscreen application process, but if you part your hair, that line of exposed skin is directly in harm’s way. Coola’s spray solves the problem with a blend of plant-based antioxidants and SPF 30 to protect the skin on your scalp. The sunscreen spray also helps prevent UV color fade.

Tizo’s liquid SPF is ideal for those who struggle with acne, oily or otherwise congested skin, thanks to its gentle, paraben free formula. “I have oily, acne-prone, sensitive skin, so finding a sunscreen that doesn’t break me out or leave my face super shiny has been really difficult,” writes one reviewer. “This sunscreen is super light and doesn’t leave that heavy/sticky/slimy feeling that other facial sunscreens tend to do.”
