Verdict
While any sunscreen is better than none, it’s always worth paying a little extra to have one specifically formulated for the face’s delicate skin. This solid stick glides on easily and is much less messy than traditional sunscreen lotions, meaning you’re far less likely to end up with an eye full of SPF. While it doesn’t say so on the label, this formula is hydrating enough to do double-duty as a moisturizing SPF.
