TOP 5 SPFs OUR BEAUTY SQUAD SWEARS BY THIS SUMMER
Summer means sun, sand, and (hopefully) a lot less sunscreen guilt. We know SPF can feel like a chore, sticky, chalky, pilling under makeup, but the right formula changes everything. We asked around, dug through the reviews, and rounded up five sunscreens that actually feel good to wear every single day.
Here are the SPFs earning a permanent spot in our summer bags.
5. Bondi Sands Daily Moisturising Face SPF50+ Sunscreen Lotion
Straight from Australia, where sun protection is basically a way of life. This Daily Moisturising Lotion hydrates while it protects, leaving a soft, natural finish that sits beautifully under makeup. It's an easy everyday layer for anyone who wants their SPF to feel like a skincare step, not an obligation.
PRICE: €7.99
4. Garnier Ambre Solaire Invisible Serum UV SPF50+
Proof that a great SPF doesn't need a big price tag. Ambre Solaire's Invisible Serum has a fast-absorbing, weightless texture that disappears into skin in seconds, no streaks, no residue, no fuss. It's the easy, grab-and-go option for busy mornings when you still want serious sun protection.
PRICE: €9.34
3. Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum
The K-beauty cult favorite that lives up to the hype. This Water-Fit Sun Serum has a watery, almost gel-like texture that soaks in instantly with zero white cast and zero greasy feel. Centella asiatica keeps things calm and soothed while hyaluronic acid pulls in hydration, perfect if you want sunscreen that doubles as skincare.
PRICE: €26.72
2. Bioderma Photoderm AR SPF 50+ Sunscreen
If redness or rosacea-prone skin is your main character energy, Photoderm AR is the fix. It's specifically formulated to calm visible redness while protecting from UV rays, with a subtle green-tinted base that helps even out your complexion as it wears. Skin looks calmer by the end of the day, not angrier.
PRICE: £19.40
1. La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 SPF50+ Sun Cream
This one's a dermatologist-loved classic for a reason. Anthelios UVMune 400 uses next-gen UV filter tech for serious broad-spectrum protection, but the texture is fluid and lightweight — no thick, white residue left behind. It's the sunscreen you reach for when your skin is feeling reactive but you still need heavy-duty coverage.
PRICE: £14.95
