Summer Essentials

Longer days and stronger sun call for a face sunscreen you'll actually enjoy wearing. Our Summer Essentials collection brings together high-SPF facial sun care from trusted dermocosmetic brands, in textures ranging from fluid and gel-cream to tinted and mattifying formulas, so you can pick what suits your skin and your daily routine.

How to choose a summer face sunscreen

Start with texture and finish. If your skin leans oily or combination, a dry-touch or mattifying formula such as the VICHY Capital Soleil Dry Touch Anti Shine Sunscreen SPF50 or the EUCERIN Sun Oil Control Gel-Cream SPF50+ is designed to leave a less shiny finish. For an ultra-light, fast-absorbing feel, fluids and gel-creams like the SOSKIN Spf50+ Protection Sun Cream Fluid or the LA ROCHE-POSAY Anthelios Gel Crème SPF50 are worth a look.

If you prefer a hint of coverage alongside sun protection, tinted options such as the FREZYDERM Sunscreen Color Velvet Face Cream SPF50+, the LA ROCHE-POSAY Anthelios UVMune 400 Tinted Sunscreen SPF50+, or the LA ROCHE-POSAY Anthelios Gel Crème Teinté SPF50 can double as a light base layer under makeup. For those who like a mist format for quick reapplication over makeup, the LA ROCHE-POSAY Anthelios Invisible Sunscreen Face Mist SPF50 is a convenient pick.

Picking within the category

Beyond texture, think about skin priorities. The LA ROCHE-POSAY Anthelios Age Correct SPF50 Tinted Sunscreen with Niacinamide is formulated with mature skin concerns in mind, while the ISDIN Fusion Water Magic SPF50+ offers a fluid, water-like feel for everyday wear. The LA ROCHE-POSAY Anthelios UVMune 400 Invisible Sunscreen SPF50+ and its moisturizing counterpart round out the range for those who want an invisible, non-greasy layer under makeup or alone.

Always check the label for skin type suitability and application guidance, and if you have specific skin concerns or are unsure which formula fits your routine, a pharmacist can help you compare options.
