How to choose: Sunscreens With Niacinamide
CeraVe offers both a tinted mineral option and AM moisturizer; EltaMD UV Clear provides a different hybrid formula. Anua adds a glow-focused option, while Cetaphil offers a mineral facial fluid. Niacinamide is not the UV filter, and its presence does not establish a treatment for acne or pigmentation. Check whether the rest of the formula fits your existing skincare routine.

Using sunscreen well
Choose broad-spectrum protection and follow the package directions for generous, even application and reapplication. Reapply at least every two hours outdoors and after swimming, sweating or towel drying as directed. Combine sunscreen with shade, clothing, a hat and sunglasses. For children younger than six months, ask a health professional before sunscreen use.
