Consumer Reports: Best Sunscreens of 2025

Consumer Reports released its exclusive 2025 sunscreen ratings after testing over 100 products revealing major differences in protection.
The report follows findings that many sunscreens use outdated formulas, contain concerning ingredients, and only a quarter actually provide adequate UV protection.
Experts recommend broad-spectrum sunscreens with at least SPF 30 for daily use and emphasize that correct application and reapplication are crucial for effectiveness.
Dr. Shari Lipner noted SPF 30 protects against 97% of UV rays, SPF 70 about 98.6%, and SPF 100 just 99%, while higher SPFs can be costly and offer minimal extra benefit.
These findings suggest consumers should prioritize proper sunscreen use and broad-spectrum coverage over very high SPF values, as even top sunscreens underperform if misapplied.
