Let’s talk SPF.
Sunscreen isn’t just for beach days. It’s one of the best ways to protect your skin every single day—especially in summer. But with so many options, how do you know which one to choose? Tinted or clear? Matte or dewy? Mineral or chemical? We’ve got you. At REN Dermatology, we carry some of the best dermatologist-approved sunscreens. Here’s a quick guide to help you find the one that fits your skin and your routine.
Best for Everyday Use

This one’s a fan favorite. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and made for sensitive or acne-prone skin. There’s also a tinted version if you want a little coverage.
EltaMD UV Daily Tinted SPF 40
Think of this as a moisturizer with SPF. It hydrates with hyaluronic acid and gives your skin a soft, natural glow.
