15 Best Tinted SPFs and Sunscreens of 2025


Best Tinted SPFs and Sunscreens of 2025


Keeping our skin sun safe is a trend we can always get behind - and with #tintedspf reaching 8.1 thousand posts on TikTok, it looks like everyone’s gotten savvy about the importance of SPF! Forget white cast and thick formulas, these tinted sunscreens protect our complexion and project our glow with lightweight coverage. Combining all the benefits of a skin tint with SPF factors from 15 to 50, we can dial up our dewiness and prevent UV damage - what’s not to love? There are a LOT of tinted moisturisers with SPF on the shelves, but we’ve searched through almost 400 posts for #tintedspf50 and found the best tinted sunscreens for the beach and beyond.


Best tinted SPFs at a glance - our top picks:


Best for wearing under makeup: Kosas Dream Beam Smoothing Makeup Base SPF30, £36
Best for super high protection: YEPODA The SPF BFF, £25 Best for mineral protection: Summer Fridays ShadeDrops, £36 Best for pro protection and glow: Dr Sam’s Flawless Gossamer Tint SPF 50, £35 Best for hydration: FENTY SKIN Hydra Vizor Huez Tinted Moisturizer SPF30, £32


Q: What is tinted SPF?

A: Our glow-to complexion product, tinted SPF offers the protection of a sunscreen with added pigment to provide a slight tint that evens the appearance of redness and overall skin tone. Opt for products with skincare ingredients and minerals such as Zinc Oxide and Hyaluronic Acid for long-term skin benefits. The combination of suncare, skincare, and makeup makes it *even* easier to never forget your SPF and keep skin protected whatever the weather. It also helps your natural beauty shine so you can feel like your best (sun-safe) self.

Q: Is tinted moisturiser with SPF the same as sunscreen?

A: Technically, yes. Tinted moisturiser with SPF has the same factor as its sunscreen counterpart - just with added pigment. That said, it’s important to find the factor that works for you! Most formulas tend to have a lower factor (ranging from SPF 15 to SPF 30), and must be reapplied often for all-day sun defence. However, some of the best tinted sunscreens have SPF 50 - we’re looking at you La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 Invisible Fluid Tinted SPF50+. Another added benefit is the skincare ingredients, from Niacinamide to Hyaluronic Acid and Peptides, these formulas are keeping our skin cool, calm, and protected.

Q: What is the best tinted sunscreen?


A: The hashtag #tintedsunscreen has over 133.3 thousand views, so how can we pick just one? With formulas for dry, oily, combination, and acne-prone skin, the best tinted sunscreen depends on your skin type and concerns. Check out our list below of the best tinted sunscreens for coverage, matte finish, hydration, and protection - one thing they all have in common? These SPF’s nourish while they shield so you can guarantee your skin will be in (sun) safe hands. By Sephora UK Editorial Team Writers and experts
