For a mineral formula, Lightsaver’s sunscreen has a light, gel-like texture and sinks into skin immediately. It never pills under makeup, and the addition of photolyase and niacinamide helps repair the skin and even skin tone.
Key ingredients: Photolyase, niacinamide
Size: 1.7 fl. oz.
Sephora rating: 5/5
An ELLE editor says: “If you have oily skin, this is the one for you. This is the rare mineral sunscreen that doesn’t feel like it’s flooding your skin with oil and moisture. It has a dry, natural finish to the skin, making it one of my favorites for vacation and super-hot days (no need to worry about it dripping down your face, or into your eyes or causing breakouts). Created by dermatologist Dr. David Kim, who was inspired by the ultra-smooth skin feel of Korean sunscreens, this is a mineral sunscreen that’s raising the way they feel on the skin to the next (and better) level.” —Kathleen Hou
