La Roche-Posay Anthelios UV Air SPF 50 has the best record here, with 9 of 9 shoppers saying it didn't break them out, though that rests on a small group, and La Roche-Posay Anthelios Mineral Tinted Fluid SPF 50 is close behind at 12 of 13. CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen Sheer Tint SPF 30 follows at 12 of 19, then Supergoop! PLAY Everyday Lotion SPF 50 at 5 of 12 and Kiehl's Better Screen UV Serum SPF 50+ at 4 of 9, a near tie, with e.l.f. Suntouchable Whoa Glow SPF 30 weakest at 3 of 11. Each record counts just shoppers who said whether it broke them out, and since people tend to bring up breakouts when they happen, low records are common.
Updated . How we count
Share of reviewers who stated an outcome for breakouts. Ranked by the lower bound of a 90% confidence interval, so a product needs both a good share and enough reports to rank high.

The 6 products ranked here carry 16,471 reviews at Ulta. We searched them for breakouts and read the newest matching reviews, up to 40 per product and store, posted between Jul 2022 and Sep 2026.
A review counts only when the reviewer used the product themselves. We drop reviews written in exchange for a free product or a sweepstakes entry (0 on this page), and products that are no longer sold.
Ulta also shows reviews first posted on brands' own websites. They run much more positive than store reviews of the same products (across 19 products with both, 76% of brand-site reviewers said the product solved the problem, against 55% of Ulta shoppers), so we show them on product cards but never count them.
Because we searched for the problem, people who had it are overrepresented. Compare products with each other rather than reading a share as your own odds.
Skin type, skin tone and age splits use what reviewers chose on Sephora's review form (and age on Ulta's when given). We only show a split when enough reviewers fall on each side.
Amazon buttons appear only on products that most reviewers here say fix the problem (at least 60%, with enough reviews to trust it). Everything else gets no buy link.
An AI model labels each review against a fixed list of points, and we spot-check the labels before publishing. We publish counts, never the reviews themselves.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios UV Air SPF 50 has the best record (9 of 9), followed by La Roche-Posay Anthelios Mineral Tinted Fluid SPF 50 (12 of 13), CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen Sheer Tint SPF 30 (12 of 19), Supergoop! PLAY Everyday Lotion SPF 50 (5 of 12), Kiehl's Better Screen UV Serum SPF 50+ (4 of 9) and e.l.f. Suntouchable Whoa Glow SPF 30 (3 of 11). The leader's group is small, and the fourth and fifth are close enough to treat as a tie.
The second number in each record is the group size. It runs from 9 shoppers each for La Roche-Posay Anthelios UV Air SPF 50 and Kiehl's Better Screen UV Serum SPF 50+ to 19 for CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen Sheer Tint SPF 30, so every record here rests on a small group. Group size is already built into the order, so a sunscreen with a slightly lower share can rank above another when more shoppers stated a result.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios UV Air SPF 50 and La Roche-Posay Anthelios Mineral Tinted Fluid SPF 50 are sold on Amazon by the brand or Amazon itself, and La Roche-Posay Anthelios UV Air SPF 50 is both the leader and the best pick sold on Amazon. CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen Sheer Tint SPF 30, Supergoop! PLAY Everyday Lotion SPF 50, Kiehl's Better Screen UV Serum SPF 50+ and e.l.f. Suntouchable Whoa Glow SPF 30 have no buy link here, because too few shoppers reported a good result for us to recommend them.
The counts are what shoppers said after using each sunscreen, not a test of ingredients or of how skin reacts, so follow the label directions, including how much to use and when to reapply. We count breakouts, not sun protection.
