With summer just around the corner and Sephora’s Savings Event finally underway, right now is the perfect time to re-up up your sunscreen collection. Thanks to Sephora's site-wide sale, one of our favorite sunscreens, the Dr. Dennis Gross All-Physical Ultimate Defense with SPF 50, is up to 20% off ahead of summer.

The Good Housekeeping Institute’s Beauty Lab ranks the Dr. Dennis Gross All-Physical Ultimate Defense as the best moisturizing face sunscreen (we have tested nearly 300 face SPF formulas). At $42 retail, this SPF is on the pricey side, so there’s no better time to try it out while it's on major discount.

All-Physical Ultimate Defense Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50

This sunscreen by Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare is a mineral-based formula with zinc oxide. It also contains hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, aloe, fatty acids and antioxidants. Lab experts deem it “a hero for hydrating skin,” leaving a dewy finish, and it was a favorite among our testers. Our Lab pros add that this formula applies easily and helps soften skin.

Although it has a high concentration of the mineral sun filter, testers reported that it doesn’t leave a chalky film on the skin, but rather, a silky texture that melts into the skin. Multiple testers even reported that they didn’t need to apply a moisturizer beforehand, with one noting that their “dry skin felt like it was actually moisturized.”
