All of My Favorite Sunscreens Are On Sale for Prime Day — and I’m Stocking Up Before the Deals End

Save over $10 on this dermatologist favorite right now. I slather it on before my daily walks because the zinc oxide goes on completely clear, and the formula contains hyaluronic acid, which my sometimes-dry skin appreciates.

Most of the time, if I’m spending hours outside, I’ll wear a hat. But for those unavoidable moments — like swimming in the pool — I rely on a scalp sunscreen. This one doesn’t leave my hair greasy, smells beachy, and helps protect color-treated hair from UV damage. It’s currently $9 off.

When I was reporting a story on sunscreens for teens, my 15-year-old named this one as a favorite. It’s incredibly lightweight, blends in instantly, and leaves no white cast behind. If you’re a parent, you know daily sunscreen can be a tough sell, so stocking up on the formula they’ll actually wear feels like a smart investment.

My skin can get a little reactive, especially after laser treatments or chemical peels. This sunscreen carries the National Eczema Association seal, which speaks to how gentle it is. The zinc-oxide formula has a subtle tint to offset any white cast, plus ceramides for extra hydration, yet still feels surprisingly lightweight.

I always keep a bottle of this around because my kids think Sun Bum is a cool surf brand and will happily apply it. I use it, too, since many of my favorite sunscreens are better suited for the face than the body. On top of the Prime Day deal, there’s a coupon that brings the price down to $13.

While reporting my teen sunscreen story, one athlete told me this is the only sunscreen that reliably keeps her from burning during long softball games. At $9 for a two-pack, it’s cheaper than what you’d normally pay for a single can.

For many of the same reasons my daughter likes Isdin Fusion Magic Water, I love this formula. It’s a lightweight fluid that layers beautifully under makeup, and the tint gives my skin a little coverage on no-makeup days. It also contains DNA enzymes designed to help address existing sun damage.

Another favorite from my teen. I like it too because the completely clear formula doubles as a makeup primer, helping blur enlarged pores and smooth fine lines (mine, not hers).

I’ve definitely had the moment of thinking, Did I really just spend almost $90 on sunscreen? But this formula functions more like several products in one. The tint provides more coverage than most tinted SPFs, often replacing foundation in my morning routine. It also contains vitamin C, peptides, and antioxidants, making it feel more like skin care and makeup combined. It’s over $20 cheaper during Prime Day, so it’s an especially good time to buy.

Lips are especially vulnerable to both sun damage and dryness because the skin there is so thin. This glossy SPF balm provides protection without tasting like sunscreen, and the minty flavor is a nice bonus. Get a discounted two-pack right now.

Unfortunately, teens seem determined to bring back tanning oil. This formula cleverly looks and feels like one, but it’s actually a broad-spectrum sunscreen. I consider it a parenting hack: My daughter happily applies it because it feels like a tanning oil, while I know she’s still getting sun protection. The two-pack is currently more than 40 percent off.

This is one of my winter staples. When I’m not spending extended time outdoors, having SPF built into my moisturizer makes it easy to stay protected while keeping my skin hydrated.

Powders aren’t ideal as your main source of sun protection because it’s difficult to apply enough product to achieve the labeled SPF. But they’re great for reapplication. This brush-on powder lets me touch up my sunscreen over makeup without smearing everything underneath.

I always keep a sunscreen stick on hand for travel and quick touch-ups. This one glides on easily over or under makeup. It’s especially useful around the hairline and ears — two commonly missed spots that are particularly vulnerable to sun damage.
