After the World’s Largest Dermatology Conference… These ‘Boring’ Products Still Win

"La Roche-Posay's Anthelios UV Sport, water-resistant 80 minutes. That has chemical UV filters, but very lightweight, very spreadable over large surface areas. So, that one was my favorite sunscreen that was water-resistant last summer."

Best Sunscreens of 2025 (Dermatologist Approved)

"This is for sporty people who need a water resistant sunscreen. [...] There's no such thing as sweatproof or waterproof, but you'll find water resistance [...] on the label at either 40 minutes or 80 minutes, and having an 80 minute water resistant sunscreen means you have to reapply every 80 minutes if you're in the water swimming at the pool. Definitely one of my go-tos. I've been so impressed by it, I had multiple tubes and gave them to my friends to try out and they've all loved it, given it a thumbs up. It is very lightweight, and [...] it achieves that with its chemical UV filter nature. [...] Applying it to a large body surface area is very easy to do, it just spreads so well and blends in quickly, and you can go about playing pickleball and not worry about having a thick layer of sunscreen sticking to your skin and distracting you from your game. I love this one, definitely one of my big essentials of the summer of 2025."

"This is a really good high performance chemical sunscreen for sport, for really active lifestyles outdoors. It's great for the face and the hands. It's moisturizing, it's not greasy, and it's also really good at locking in hydration. [...] It doesn't leave a cast, but it's really easy to reapply over and over throughout the day. [...] If you're actually going to be doing stuff outside for a good chunk of your day, like playing golf or tennis or basketball or whatever sport you do outside for a couple of hours, [...] this is a great high endurance formula to consider. And it's pretty inexpensive."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
