A sunny disposition? Yes — but bring sunscreen.

With August in full motion, it’s tempting to mark your work calendar with an out-of-office notice, but make sure not to overlook sun protection. If you’re searching for the top SPF recommended by dermatologists, you’re in luck: EltaMD comes out on top as the most frequently mentioned brand by skin experts, and it has caught the attention of celebrities as well.

Stars like Sydney Sweeney and Kendall Jenner have name-checked EltaMD among their essentials, as have plenty of Page Six editors.

Kyle Richards even called it “the best sunblock for the face” in an Amazon Live last year.

These noncomedogenic formulations are packed with skincare powerhouses like hyaluronic acid. They not only shield your skin from harmful UV rays but also work to enhance your skin’s texture and tone.

One standout product is UV Clear, which is a favorite for several reasons. It’s gentle enough not to trigger acne or rosacea, and as Dr. Jaimie Glick, a certified dermatologist, points out, its niacinamide content offers antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits that help reduce skin discoloration.

The brand’s bestselling tinted formulas are ideal for a no-makeup look, or can be used as a versatile primer under foundation.

If you get microneedling, chemical peels or any in-office treatment that requires special care for your skin afterwards, EltaMD — being a doctor-focused brand — also has amazing post-procedure sunscreens and skincare made just for fragile skin.

The UV Skin Recovery line offers a Dermal Wound Cleanser, a comforting, cooling Enzyme HydroGel and a Laser Balm healing ointment.

A star of that line is the green-tinted Red Color Correcting Broad Spectrum SPF 50, which neutralizes redness while keeping healing skin protected from the sun. It’s also great for people with rosacea or skin prone to inflammation.

While it might look like it’s made for Herman Munster, the sunscreen goes on sheer, and shoppers can’t get enough.

One left five-star feedback, writing, “Great sunscreen that moisturizes and reduces redness — just as it is advertised.”

There’s also a UV Sport sunblock for athletic types, and it promises not to sting eyes or run when you’re sweating. Anyone who knows that pain can attest to its unpleasantness, which makes this water-resistant formula worth its weight in gold.

The UV AOX Mist, meanwhile, is a 100% mineral sunscreen spray for easy application with a sheer finish and antioxidants to boost skin health. It goes on white to ensure you don’t miss a spot, then turns clear — a bit of sun protection magic.

While these are not the least expensive sunscreens on the market, you only have one chance at protecting your skin right. An ounce of SPF prevention is worth a pound of sun-damage cure!
