Drew Barrymore, for one, has been a longtime fan of the cult-favorite UV Daily Broad-Spectrum SPF 40 and even gave it a shoutout on her Instagram, saying, “I break out from almost every sunblock… It’s always been a crappy toss-up. Then I found this.”

So what’s to love? The bestselling EltaMd sunscreen, which is fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, is a standout sunscreen for acne-prone skin, thanks to its non-comedogenic formulation. It includes both mineral and chemical blockers, which provides a hefty dose of protection from sun exposure as well as free radicals from environmental pollutants. Additionally, hyaluronic acid (a hydrating must-have) infuses the skin with long-lasting moisture.

You can even wear it as a lightweight moisturizer if your skin is especially oily, or it can be layered over a moisturizer for dry skin. Also available in a tinted SPF formula, which easily blends to a transparent finish on darker complexions, you can wear it as an alternative to heavy makeup during the summer, ensuring you have an even, dewy base without compromising on skin protection.

Tester reviews echo Barrymore’s praises, with over 4,000 five-star Dermstore ratings from shoppers that rave over how well the lightweight formula performs under make-up. One wrote, “I have been using this for years and every time I try something new, I immediately regret not sticking to this. It is absolutely amazing. There’s no oily feeling and it’s lightweight and silky — the perfect sunscreen.”

With summer right around the corner, and a ticking clock on the special Dermstore deal, we recommend stockpiling your SPF lineup with the EltaMd bestseller ASAP.
