Summary
- Dermatologist recommends L'Oreal SPF 50 fluid with vitamin C and E
- Barcelona-based brand's 100% mineral sunscreen nourishes skin
- Isdin sunscreen has lightweight formula and no lingering zinc smell

According to leading dermatologists, the 2025 sunscreen season is seeing some exciting new formulas that not only protect the skin from harmful UV rays but also offer additional benefits.
One of the standout products is the SPF 50 fluid from L'Oreal, which dermatologist Dr. Alexander Witkowski says has an "innovative formula that combines advanced sun protection with skin-brightening benefits." Enriched with vitamin C and E, this sunscreen is designed to reduce the appearance of dark spots and promote a more radiant complexion.
Dermatologists Badreshia-Bansal and Cheung also recommend a 100% mineral-based sunscreen from a Barcelona-based brand. This multitasking formula is infused with skin-loving ingredients like zinc oxide, DNA repair enzymes, and vitamin E, making it not just a sun protector but also a nourishing and repairing treatment for the skin.
Another highly praised option is the Isdin sunscreen, which is praised for its lightweight and easy-to-blend formula that doesn't have the lingering zinc smell often associated with mineral SPFs. While it does leave a slight white cast, the combination of its formula and UV protection has made it a hit with those with sensitive skin, rosacea, and skin cancer concerns.
