Thanks to dermatologists discovering TikTok, more and more of us have become aware of sunscreen’s necessity in recent years; it’s hard to find the right one though, and at the right price point (what doesn’t feel gross, what doesn’t leave a white cast, what will my FSA allowance cover?) Neutrogena’s Sport Face Sunscreen makes a great option for most people, super strong (a whopping 70+ SPF), and 40% off for Amazon’s inaugural Big Spring Sale, under $9 for Prime members. Supergoop’s great, but it’s not $9.
The sunscreen is oil-free, meaning it’s especially good for the acne-prone (both combination and oily skin). As a bonus, Amazon reviewers say, it doesn’t leave a white cast, particularly good for people with melanin. It also protects against both UVA and UVB rays, and as the name suggests, it’s ideal for outdoor sports activity, or really, anyone who sweats a ton. The Amazon customers who extol the stuff aren’t varsity athletes necessarily, with many saying it’s great for walking pets, taking hikes, and going on a cruise. It soaks in and dries quickly, they add, and doesn’t leave your face looking shiny or white. It’s also perfect for sensitive skin, several reviewers say.
It’s also a good idea to reapply sunscreen during the day, especially during the summer, which makes the price point particularly good — why buy a pricey sunscreen if you’re just going to ration it? This is the price point for someone who’s serious about resisting burn.
