While SPF lotions and foundations aren't a complete substitute for sunscreen, it's better than nothing. It's also asy: All you have to do is make sure that the product you never forget to use at the end of your routine — as in, your moisturizer — comes complete with its own dose of SPF. More face lotions and creams than ever are fulfilling that practical need, so no matter what your complexion concerns are, there's a skin-protecting solution with your name on it.
Ahead, the best and newest moisturizers with SPF to hit the market — so you can scratch one more thing off your mental to-do list.
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
