Gel-like formulas such as this SPF from Coola are featherweight enough for those susceptible to breakouts and GH Beauty Lab Senior Chemist Danusia Wnek reports that this formula doesn’t aggravate acne. Although it is a splurge compared to other face sunscreens, “it is super lightweight and absorbs quickly, doesn’t irritate my skin and lays nicely under my makeup,” she praises.

A GH Beauty Award winner, this Murad formulation is a sunscreen you won’t believe is sunscreen — it’s totally clear! — and that you’ll actually want to wear, even under makeup. Testers commented that the translucent makeup primer-like gel was “not oily, heavy or irritating” and “kept makeup in place,” “made skin baby-soft,” and “softened lines.” It is a splurge compared to other face SPFs, though.
