Cosmetic Corner: Dermatologists Weigh in on Sunscreens (2013)

To improve patient care and outcomes, leading dermatologists offered their recommendations on the top sunscreen products. Consideration must be given to:

 


• Anthelios 40 Sunscreen

La Roche-Posay Laboratoire Dermatologique

“Anthelios SPF 40 with Mexoryl has the best UVA protection available.”—Jeffrey M. Weinberg, MD, New York, New York


•  Anthelios 50 Mineral Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid

La Roche-Posay Laboratoire Dermatologique

“The fact that this product is a total blocker with active ingredients blocking UVB and Mexoryl SX for additional UVA photoprotection makes it one of the ideal sunscreens. In addition, the formulation feels great on the skin.”—Marta I. Rendon, MD, Miami, Florida

“I like this product because it provides both UVA and UVB protection utilizing the physical blocker titanium dioxide that also is stabilized with the company’s Cell-Ox Shield technology. It is fragrance free and paraben free as well.”—Anthony M. Rossi, MD, New York, New York


•  EltaMD UV Sport Broad-Spectrum SPF 50

EltaMD

“This product is noncomedogenic, paraben free, sensitivity free, and fragrance free. It contains 9% zinc oxide, the broadest spectrum UVA/UVB physical blocker.”—Basil M. Hantash, MD, PhD, Turlock, California


• Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50

SkinCeuticals

“This chemical-free sunscreen is a cosmetically elegant choice for people who want to have a mineral sunscreen but can’t tolerate the white film.”—Amy J. Derick, MD, Barrington, Illinois


•  Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 85

Neutrogena Corporation

“It has excellent UVA and UVB protection in a nongreasy base that most patients like a lot. It’s particularly popular with patients who have oily skin and with male patients who don’t like a creamy-feeling product.”   —Mark G. Rubin, MD, Beverly Hills, California

•  Wet Skin Sunscreen Spray

Neutrogena Corporation

“This is a spray that is easy to apply to children and is great to quickly spray extremities before sports and can be reapplied on wet skin but not to the face.”—Marian Northington, MD, Birmingham, Alabama
