With warm weather on the rise (thank goodness), it’s more important than ever to lather and load up on the SPF this season.
Whether you’re on the market for an everyday facial sunscreen or are interested in shopping for a moisturizer infused with SPF for an extra skincare boost, snagging a new lotion or potion before Memorial Day is your best bet.
Even though New York Post Shopping just had an Exclusive SPF Event, there are still many great deals online that you can grab, including La Roche-Posay, Neutrogena, Supergoop! and more. (Related: Best mineral sunscreens).
Not to mention, if you’re on a wild goose chase trying to find the perfect SPF for melanated skin (you know, ones that won’t leave a stark white cast) or a spray sunscreen, look no further than this roundup.
Many of the sunscreens on sale are from Amazon, but that doesn’t mean you should breeze past Wayfair’s Memorial Day Sale for some newly minted outdoor patio furniture.
More, if you’re wanted to grab all things beach-related, you can’t ignore our guides to the best beach chairs and beach wagons and carts to inspire your next sunny day beach trip.
For now, shop the top SPF brands on sale ahead of Memorial Day:

It’s a fragrance-free option that’s wonderful for sensitive skin and is backed by nearly 4,000 rave reviews that helps hydrate and smooth the skin.
When there’s a deal on Banana Boat, we run. Shop the brand’s Sport SPF 65 Sunscreen Lotion for just $10 on Amazon. With more than 16,000 positive ratings on Amazon, it offers both UVA and UVB protection, is non-greasy and is one of the easiest to apply.
Stock up and save on your SPF this season with the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Mist Sunscreen Spray, available in a three-pack on Amazon. With SPF 70, this trio is applauded by nearly 2,500 shoppers who love its oil-free and non-comedogenic design.
Looking for a real budget-friendly SPF (for just $7?) The Bondi Sands Fragrance-Free Moisturizing Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 fits the bill, thanks to its reef-friendly design and 72-hour hydration. Plus, it’s a wonderful option for sensitive skin.
We’re going to give it to you straight — there’s truly no other brand like CeraVe, especially if you want hydration without adding a ton of ingredients to your skin. The brand’s Tinted Sunscreen with SPF30 is dermatologist-approved, contains niacinamide for an extra skin boost and is now less than $15.
Act fast at Supergoop! — for a limited time, its entire site is offering 20% off all SPF with code SPF20. To get the biggest bang for your buck, add the brand’s PLAY Everyday Lotion SPF 50 with Sunflower Extract to your cart — one of our favorite SPF products we’ve reviewed. It’s available in smaller sizes, too.
When we speak to board-certified dermatologists, they typically recommend La Roche-Posay. Now, the brand’s top-rated Anthelios Ultra Light Fluid Facial Sunscreen SPF 60 is now less than $30, is a surefire beach bag staple and doesn’t leave a white cast. Plus, it’s fragrance-free.
Enter the viral SPF product that everyone can’t help but love. The EltaMD UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46 Moisturizing Facial Sunscreen — although just $4 off — is worth grabbing as the brand hardly has discount offers. It’s also wonderful for all skin types, including acne-prone skin.
Hi, Sun Bum. We’re adding you to our carts because (1) we love you as a brand and (2) you’re now just over $10. Its Original SPF 50 Facial Sunscreen is praised by nearly 12,000 reviewers for being enriched with vitamin E, hydrating the skin and being formulated with a cruelty free design.
For your baby, shop the Thinkbaby SPF 50+ Baby Sunscreen. Now, it’s just shy of $20, is water-resistant and dermatologist recommended and is a No. 1 Amazon best-seller (with more than 9,000 rave reviews, may we add). Plus, it’s vegan and won’t leave the skin feeling sticky.
As recommended by board-certified dermatologists we’ve spoken to, the SkinMedia Total Defense + Repair SPF 34 sunscreen is a splurge worth making, especially for mature skin. Now, it’s $10 off, is packed by antioxidants and is both fragrance- and oil-free.
Yes, Peter Thomas Roth is on sale at Walmart for $10 off. This Sephora fan-favorite is lightweight, helps neutralize the skin (aka, it won’t leave your skin with a white cast or give it that ‘red’ look that is sometimes typical with rubbing in formulations) and is suitable for sensitive skin.
