Which sunscreens to choose in 2025?
What if your sun protection became the most desirable skincare product of your summer? At the dawn of the summer season, UV rays are no longer forgivable. Moisturizing, cell-defending, anti-aging… In 2025, sunscreen does more than just filter out UV rays: it beautifies, cares for and transforms application into a moment of pleasure. The following selection is striking proof of this.
When high-end cosmetics take to the sun
Some formulas are changing the game, starting with Dermalogica, which offers SPF 50 protection enriched with bioavailable Vitamin C and synergistic Vitamin E. A formidable duo against thermal aging. The texture illuminates the skin as soon as it is applied, while reducing the deleterious effects of heat and free radicals. A smart solution for busy city dwellers with demanding skin.
Korres, for its part, revisits the nourishing power of Greek yogurt in a range that combines UV protection, soothing panthenol and plant oils. Sensitive skins will appreciate the restored elasticity and long-lasting comfort, with an undeniable sensory plus: the melting creaminess that leaves no residue.
The era of protective care
Krème and Topicrem take a more dermatological approach. The former is based on a patented technology that combines the latest generation filters and probiotics to soothe, moisturize and protect even the most intolerant skin. A successful gamble, with pleasing textures and discreet sun fragrances, suitable for children, babies and even pregnant women. A special mention for our fresh sun water: light, invisible, it gives a natural, progressive tan.
Topicrem‘s formula has been refocused on the essentials: three skin care products for the whole family. Enriched with echinacea, antioxidants and regenerating active ingredients, they boost the production of longevity proteins while combating skin inflammation. Fewer products, but targeted effectiveness.
Sun + commitment = new generation
Les Petits Prödiges, Respire, Bergasol and La Rosée all focus on more environmentally-friendly formulations. What do they have in common? Very high protection combined with an assertive eco-responsible dimension: non-controversial filters, biodegradable formulas, recyclable packaging. Some even go so far as to test their harmlessness on coral and microalgae. But their commitment doesn’t overshadow their effectiveness: silky, invisible, water-resistant textures, and above all visible results on skin quality.
Solar becomes hybrid and urban
Brands such as Lancôme, Murad and La Nouvelle Peau are reinventing daily suncare. They offer fluids or sticks to be applied like serums, often enriched with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid or astaxanthin. These multi-action products protect against UVA rays as well as pollution, blue light and oxidative stress. Textures? Ultralight, non-greasy, often designed to be applied under make-up, or even to replace foundation thanks to their perfecting effect.
