The Science Behind Sunscreens

How Sunscreens's key actives work — and why formulation and delivery matter as much as the ingredient itself.

SPF

What SPF Really Means

SPF measures protection against UVB. Dermatologists recommend SPF 30 to 50 daily; higher offers only marginal added benefit.

UVA

Broad-Spectrum

UVA rays penetrate deeper and drive aging and pigmentation. Broad-spectrum filters block both UVA and UVB.

Mineral

Physical Filters

Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide sit on the skin and reflect UV, ideal for sensitive, reactive or post-procedure skin.

Reapply

Application Matters

Most people underapply. Use a generous amount and reapply every two hours of sun exposure for the stated protection.

These descriptions reflect how each ingredient category works in general dermatological terms. Individual results vary, and skincare is not a substitute for professional medical advice.

Sunscreens: Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best sunscreen for daily use?

The best daily sunscreen is a broad-spectrum SPF 30 to 50 that you will actually wear. Popular medical-grade picks include EltaMD UV Clear and Alumier Sheer Hydration. Choose a texture you enjoy so you apply it every day.

Is mineral or chemical sunscreen better?

Both protect well. Mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) suit sensitive, reactive and post-procedure skin, while chemical filters tend to feel lighter and more sheer. The best one is the one you will reapply.

How much sunscreen should I apply?

Use about a quarter-teaspoon for the face and neck, and reapply every two hours of sun exposure. Most people apply far too little to reach the labelled SPF.

Can I wear sunscreen under makeup?

Yes. Apply sunscreen as the last step of skincare, let it set for a minute, then apply makeup. Many medical-grade SPFs also double beautifully as a primer.

Do I need sunscreen indoors or in winter?

Yes. UVA rays pass through windows and clouds year-round, contributing to aging and pigmentation. Daily SPF is recommended every day, regardless of season.

Which sunscreen is best for acne-prone skin?

Look for oil-free, non-comedogenic mineral formulas like EltaMD UV Clear, which contains niacinamide. Tinted mineral options also help reduce the look of redness.
