There are plenty of amazing options available at drugstores, so you can find a great one that won't break the bank.

Dermatologists say the best sunscreens offer broad-spectrum protection, meaning they protect against both UVA rays (linked to premature skin aging) and UVB rays (associated with sunburns) while offering an SPF of at least 30. Plus, you'll want something water-resistant for days by the pool or ocean. To help you find the best drugstore sunscreens that fill the bill, we combed through thousands of reviews. Based on our research, these are the best drugstore sunscreens you can pick up right now.

1. Pipette Mineral Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50

The Pipette Mineral Sunscreen is baby skin-friendly, but reviewers of all ages swear by it. The formula contains zinc oxide for SPF 50, plant-based squalane for moisture and bisabolol (found in chamomile) and wild gooseberry extract for soothing skin. Reviewed beauty writer Sara Miranda praised the sunscreen's moisturizing feel and minimal white cast, and she named it a top pick while testing mineral face sunscreens.
