![]() ![]() From a skin care-first makeup brand like Kosas, I would expect nothing less.Is $40 a bit pricey for a sunscreen? Perhaps, but if you’ve yet to find a formula you’ll actually commit to, I’d wager this one will make you genuinely excited to slather on.We put the CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 to the test after receiving a complimentary sample from the brand. And thanks to ceramides, peptides, hyaluronic acid, and allantoin, it doesn’t just sit well under makeup-it actually enhances it by leaving behind a dewy, plump film over your pores. “While zinc oxide is notoriously difficult to blend, this formula comes with a peachy-pink hue to help neutralize the cast. Not to mention, it's packed with ceramides, peptides, and hyaluronic acid, providing more benefit than just sun protection.” - mbg assistant beauty editor Hannah Frye The slight tint adds a glow while decreasing the ghosty complex that often comes with mineral formulas. “This SPF goes on like a super hydrating skin tint, with no greasy residue or white cast left behind. It’s infused with several plumping ingredients too, so it helps create a smooth, soft canvas all day long. But this option acts almost like a primer: prepping the skin for foundation with a peachy hue that creates a luminescent base. ![]() ![]() One of the most common frustrations with sunscreen is that it pills under makeup. But it’s a small price to pay for a sunscreen formula this good: Hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, algae, and panthenol plump fine lines, even tone, and protect against premature aging.” - Schneider I will admit that it does leave a slight white cast on me, and I’m pretty fair. “I have both the travel and full-sized version of this sunscreen-personally, I like to use the full-sized formula on my body, as the whipped, airy texture requires a bit more spreading. Then press and gently rub it into the skin to finish. Apply it all over, and let it sit on the skin while it dries down. A tip for applying a formula with this much zinc oxide: Skip the body lotions, and use this as your moisturizer. Squalane, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, panthenol, and algae extract strengthen barrier function, plump the skin, and smooth out fine lines. This uses face quality skin care ingredients for the neck down (well, you could use it on your face, too, but it’s better suited for the body). Try the trick and thank me later.” - mbg beauty editor Jamie Schneider Ron Robinson, cosmetic chemist and founder of the brand, recommends mixing it with his Pro Moisture Boost Cream for a super-hydrating base. Sunscreen and vitamin C go together like peanut butter and jelly and this one features 20% ascorbic acid along with zinc oxide to protect against photoaging and fade dark spots. Good news! BeautyStat makes it easy to infuse the classic skin brightener into my regimen with this two-in-one formula. “I’ve been experimenting with other antioxidant serums in my routine, but I do miss a trusty vitamin C. Not only does vitamin C have an accountability to help brighten tone, but it also protects and supports collagen production. Made with a whopping 20% vitamin C, this is for those who are serious about sun spots, fine lines, and other signs of premature aging. Formulated by all-star cosmetic chemist Ron Robinson (a favorite source among beauty editors and insiders), this mineral sunscreen is a powerhouse of antioxidant protection. ![]()
