9 Facial SPFs Rated By The Experts

“Having suffered with acne for many years, it’s important for me to use an SPF moisturiser every morning that gives effective UV protection, but won’t give me spots. This Garnier hero is my favourite – it’s non-comedogenic meaning it won’t block bores and contains salicylic acid to soak up shine and target blemishes.” – Dr Justine Kluk, consultant dermatologist
 

“The primer-like texture of this SPF is game-changing, going on perfectly under make-up and actively fighting blemishes, due to its high niacinamide content. It’s available in a tinted version too.” – Dr Sam Bunting, cosmetic dermatologist
 

“It’s estimated around 80% of skin damage we see on the face, neck and hands is directly related to sun exposure. Chronic exposure to the sun’s rays leads to skin sagging, wrinkles, uneven skin and pigmentation so take action with this stellar SPF, which gets my vote every time.” – Dr Justine Hextall, consultant dermatologist
 

“I couldn’t be without this SPF – it offers a 100% mineral filter and broad-spectrum protection against UVB and UVA rays in a lightweight formula. It’s one of the very few products that won’t clog my pores and aggravate my rosacea. Plus, it comes with a sheer tint to leave your skin glowing.” – Dr Stefanie Williams, specialist dermatologist & Founder of Eudelo
 

“I recommend this dry-touch SPF to all my patients, especially those prone to acne and blemishes. As well as offering great broad-spectrum protection, it’s also enriched with antioxidants to repair sun damage over time and prevent skin ageing.” – Dr Anjali Mahto, Consultant Dermatologist at the Cadogan Clinic
 

“If you suffer from sensitive skin, this SPF is one to try. Not only is it more affordable than others on the market, it offers impressive broad-spectrum protection and is paraben- and sulphate-free. It’s ideal to use post-treatment, as well as to reduce inflammation and soothe sensitive skin.” – Dr Tapan Patel, Founder & Medical Director of PHI Clinic
 

“If you suffer from dry skin, this SPF is one for you. As well as offering an impressive SPF50, it’ll moisturise the skin without weighing it down, leaving your skin feeling plumped-up and protected. State-of-the-art UV filters also prevent UV-induced collagen breakdown and dark spots.” – Dr Benji Dhillon, aesthetic physician

“This product makes it super easy to incorporate a broad spectrum SPF50 into your routine – it’s ultra-sheer, mattifying and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It comes with a universally adaptable tint which sits well under make-up or on its own.” – Dr Sandeep Cliff, consultant dermatologist
