As an acne-prone beauty editor, using formulas that are 1. effective and 2. won’t break me out is always a top priority, especially when it comes to the most important skincare product out there: face sunscreen. So, when Team Cosmo asked dermatologists which sunscreens they actually use and love, so many of them recommended ISDIN.
ISDIN’s product lineup has everything you could want in an SPF. Whether you’re looking for a tinted sunscreen, a hydrating formula, a skin-repairing one, or all of the above, ISDIN has you covered (literally). And yes, it’s even available on Amazon, making it super easy to stock up ahead of the sunniest months. Keep scrolling for the best ISDIN products that derms and Cosmo editors swear by.
On days when I want a bit more coverage without skipping sun protection, I reach for this tinted SPF from ISDIN. It does a great job at camouflaging blemishes and redness, and I love wearing it on my face, neck, chest, and shoulders for a more even and bronzed look. Honestly, it’s so lightweight and blendable it could double as a full-body sunscreen—and the full-sized bottle makes that totally doable.
It’s also a favorite of dermatologist Dendy Engelman, MD, who calls it “the ideal lightweight tinted sunscreen that helps fight the signs of photoaging and repairs the skin with peptides, antioxidants, and DNA Repairsomes.”
I mean, look at that coverage just from one product. I'm not wearing any makeup, just sunscreen, promise.
This dermatologist-loved formula also happens to be a Cosmo Holy Grail Award winner for its lightweight, non-greasy texture and fragrance-free finish. It's packed with moisturizing vitamin E and offers powerful protection without the dreaded 'sunscreen smell.' And here's some praise from dermatologists Heather Rogers, MD, and Shari Marchbein, MD.
“This lightweight, milky mineral sunscreen contains skin-repairing enzymes,” says Dr. Rogers. “So it protects your skin from future UV damage with SPF, but also helps repair past sun damage. It’s an excellent option for daily defense, particularly for my skin cancer patients."
Dr. Marchbein agrees: “This is one of my favorite sunscreens. It uses zinc oxide along with DNA repairosomes and vitamin E for added skin protection. It rubs in beautifully and is extremely cosmetically elegant without leaving a white film on the skin. It’s also a physical sunscreen, so great for those with sensitive skin or who are concerned about using chemical sunscreens.”
This has been my go-to face sunscreen all summer, like I have not left my house without it stuffed in my bag. It’s ideal for dry, sensitive, and acne-prone skin (I'm all of the above) and blends into the skin so nicely without leaving behind white residue. The formula itself feels like absolutely nothing on my face while I wear it, thanks to hyaluronic acid and its lightweight texture.
I’ve been using it daily, either under makeup or on its own, and as you can see not a sunburn in sight! Plus, all of ISDIN's sunscreens come both travel and full sizes, so you can bring it on the go.
