In an era in which countless categories of skincare offer exceptional twofers (Think: skin-nourishing makeup primers, serum foundations, or overnight masks), is it enough for sunscreens to do just one job and leave it at that? In our opinion, no! Luckily, the latest crop of sunscreens- labelled as sunscreen serums are here to ditch the old idea of layering essences and serums onto skin before busting out the SPF.
Sunscreen serums are just what they sound like- hybrid products that combine traditional sunscreen with active ingredients to treat and protect the skin in one fell swoop. Since they combine two steps and two products in one, they’ll make your morning routine way more simple. The impossible lightweight formulas are the ones that will convert just about anyone into becoming an avid-sunscreen user, thanks to their fluid-like textures that absorb within seconds and don’t leave behind a ghastly white cast. Ready for some sun fun? Ahead, find the best sunscreen serums for SPF devotees and reluctant wearers alike.
