The 20 Best Tinted Moisturizers with SPF, Vetted by Editors and Reviewers

There's no doubt about it: Tinted moisturizers with SPF are extremely popular these days. Part makeup, part skincare, you can get the best of both worlds. Why? They provide great light coverage, protect against UVA/UVB rays and blue light and are super easy to blend with your fingers, brush or a makeup sponge. If you're looking to add one to your routine, I polled PureWow editors and two dermatologists provide their go-to picks, from our all-time fave (hello, Tower 28 SunnyDays Tinted Sunscreen) to a buzzy new product from Supergoop!.

I tapped my amazing coworkers, who happily shared their favorite tinted moisturizers with SPF. From there, I did rigorous research on each product and looked for key ingredients, coverage/finish, shade range and SPF. I also scanned through countless reviews to find the top picks our readers are currently loving. Ahead, a list of the 20 best tinted moisturizers for SPF to shop now.

There are a ton of tinted moisturizers on the market, so take these five categories into consideration when shopping the right one for you.

• Coverage Type: Do you want dewy or matte coverage? Some tinted moisturizers mimic a traditional foundation, while others make you look shiny and glazed like a donut. When picking out a tinted moisturizer, look for keywords like 'radiant,' 'dewy' and 'sheer' to give you insight into what finish you can expect.
• Skin Type: Be mindful of your skin type. Dr. Camp recommends dry or sensitive skin types use dewy, oil-based tinted moisturizers. If you have oily skin, he recommends lightweight, matte or oil-free picks. And those with acne-prone skin can look into oil-free picks to prevent potential breakouts.
• SPF Count: SPF numbers vary widely among tinted moisturizers. Dr. Fahs recommends finding ones that are 30 or higher. Also, look for the words ‘broad spectrum’ on the label, “so you’re getting coverage against both UVA and UVB rays,” she adds.
• Shade Range. Yes, there are plenty of tinted moisturizers with SPF out there, but the number starts to dwindle when you check out their shade ranges. However, don't be discouraged. Brands like ILIA, Rare Beauty, Tower 28 and The Lip Bar are already changing the game and offering 15+ shades in their repertoire. There's also a neat trick of mixing shades together to get your perfect match. Consider a swatch test of the tinted moisturizer of your choice and try mixing two that are close to your skin tone.
• Skincare Benefits: It’s a hybrid product after all. Find a tinted moisturizer that caters to your skin woes. Some key ingredients found in tinted moisturizers are niacinamide, aloe and hyaluronic acid. “Hyaluronic acid offers significant hydration, as this molecule helps attract and retain water within the skin,” Dr. Camp explains. “Niacinamide is included in some moisturizers because of its anti-inflammatory and calming properties, which makes it a great option for rosacea or acne-prone skin.”
