What to know
Supergoop is an NBC Select-staff favorite when it comes to sunscreens, and this formula is one of my personal go-tos. It has an invisible, lightweight formula that works well for all skin tones and types (especially oily skin), and you can use it as a smoothing primer underneath makeup.
NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio has rosacea and sensitive skin, and says this sunscreen is the only one that doesn't give her any issues with irritation. 'I thought I was allergic to sunscreen before trying this one out,' she says. It has a lightweight, invisible formula that also includes sodium hyaluronate for extra moisture and niacinamide to help soothe redness and inflammation, according to the brand.
This exfoliating toner is great for sensitive skin, because you can use it multiple times a day without irritation, but it's still strong enough to help clear breakouts within a few days. I've been using it as a staple in my routine for years now, and I love that it's lightweight and layers well with my other products. It also helps to unclog pores and smooth finer lines, according to the brand.
I've been a Cosrx fan for a decade now, and this moisturizer was one of my very first purchases from them. Although the texture has a slime-like consistency, it's lightweight, very hydrating, and doesn't make my oily skin too greasy during the day. It uses snail secretion and panthenol to maintain moisture levels, and adenosine to help prevent fine lines, according to the brand.
This moisturizer uses niacinamide to help soothe skin, plus glycerin and ceramides to help hydrate and maintain your moisture barrier, according to the brand. It landed in our top three when we tested and ranked more than 100 face moisturizers because our editors love its lightweight, fragrance-free formula. NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin says she especially likes that she only has to use a small amount at a time when applying.
'It's incredibly lightweight, so it dries quickly and I can put makeup directly over it, plus it's super gentle on my sensitive, acne-prone skin,' she says. 'When my face gets extra dry in the winter, I slather this on multiple times a day and carry it in my work bag.'
I tested this LED skin care device for three weeks, and found that it helped resolve minor breakouts and improve the overall appearance of my skin with daily use. It has three settings; red light, blue light and both, and runs for three minutes per cycle. It also has an adjustable headband for comfortability while wearing — for my full thoughts on the mask, you can check out my review here.
Act + Acre is known for great hair and scalp products, and this serum is one of our favorites. It uses apple stem cells to help reduce hair shedding and breakage, and also hydrates the scalp with aloe and glycerin, according to the brand. For best use, the brand recommends massaging the serum into your scalp daily with clean, damp or dry hair.
This is our pick for best overall silk pillowcase because of its soft, comfortable texture that helps with reducing hair breakage and frizz. It's made from a machine-washable mulberry silk, and has a zipper closure. NBC Select SEO editor Nikki Brown says she's had her Slip pillowcase for years and that it's still in great condition.
This serum from Sunday Riley is an overnight treatment recommended to us by dermatologists in our story on the best exfoliating products. It uses lactic acid to help hydrate and exfoliate skin, while also fading dark spots using lemongrass and licorice extracts, according to the brand. Although the serum is meant for use as an overnight treatment, the brand suggests those with sensitive skins wash it off after 15 minutes.

The best anti-chafing products to use this summer, tested by our editors
During the warmer months, few things are more annoying than the sticky, itchy, burning feeling of chafing. Whether you're a runner who likes to take advantage of the nice weather or someone who wants their inner thighs to coexist in peace, anti-chafe products can help prevent any uncomfortable friction that causes sore skin. To help you stay friction-free in high temperatures, we spoke to dermatologists about the best anti-chafing products on the market, plus got their tips and tricks on how to avoid chafing and what to do when it occurs. How we picked the best anti-chafing products When shopping for quality anti-chafe products, dermatologists emphasize finding the right, friction-reducing ingredients more than anything. We also valued price and our own personal experience with these products, where applicable. Ingredients: Shoppers should look for chafing sticks that contain a combination of humectants, emollients and occlusives (the same types of ingredients found in quality face moisturizers), according to Dr. Hadley King, a New York City-based dermatologist. Ideally, these products should glide smoothly while creating a strong barrier between any hotspots that rub (like inner thighs or the back of your heels), and any exterior irritation like the heel of your shoe or a wet swimsuit strap on your skin. Notable emollients include glycerin and coconut oil, which appear in nearly every anti-chafe product we recommend. We explore these ingredients and others in more depth, below. Price: Based on our own experience shopping for and using these products, we've found great options in the $7 to $20 range for roughly 2 ounces (or one deodorant-like stick) of product, except our pick for anti-chafing underwear. Personal experience: As people who struggle with thigh chafing during the warmer months, we've tried a handful of these products and included our recommendations. The best anti-chafing products in 2025 Most anti-chafing products are salves packed in glide-on sticks, jellies, powders or creams. Below, we've compiled a list of expert-recommended options from dermatologists and favorite picks that have helped NBC Select staff keep their skin friction-free. Best overall anti-chafing product Several of the dermatologists we spoke to recommend Megababe as an anti-chafe solution. '[It's] an affordable, easy-to-use stick formulated to prevent friction by providing both hydration with grapeseed oil and improved glide to reduce the friction that leads to chafing with ingredients like vitamin E and aloe,' says Dr. Annie Chiu, dermatologist and founder of The Derm Institute. Colizza has used Megababe for years and says she cannot imagine her life without it. It's packaged in a deodorant-like applicator and is a breeze to use: 'I typically swipe the balm across each of my inner thighs two to three times and typically reapply throughout the day as needed,' she says. The formula, which has a subtle, clean scent, leaves behind a residue that she says makes her inner thighs 'happily glide across each other as [she walks]'. Megbabe is formulated with caprylic/capric triglyceride (a compound derived from glycerin) and coconut oil, both of which are emollient ingredients that moisturize the skin. Another favorite product of Colizza's for chafing, Squirrel's Nut butter is made with Cocos nucifera (coconut oil) to help moisturize your skin and avoid friction. According to King, Cocos nucifera has both emollient and occlusive properties, meaning it hydrates and also helps create a protective barrier on top of your skin. Squirrel's Nut Butter is sold as an everywhere solution for athletes with chafing. The brand recommends applying it not just before a race or athletic event, but also before showering to avoid further bothering your already-tender skin. Colizza used Body Glide's anti-chafe stick, which comes recommended by King, on her inner thighs during a recent warm-weather vacation. While other options, like Megababe, offer a more slippery feel, Body Glide for Her feels thicker and more waxy, and perhaps is a better option to use along a bathing suit line or anywhere else where you need a heavy-duty barrier between you and any fabric, like the back of your shoe. Best budget anti-chafing product Jessica Wu, MD, a Los Angeles-based dermatologist and author of ' Feed Your Face,' recommends Gold Bond's Friction Defense Stick as a more affordable option that contains several popular friction-reducing and inflammation-fighting ingredients including zinc oxide and aloe. Colizza finds this unscented option similar to Body Glide; it creates a strong, waxy barrier across your skin that doesn't glide on as smoothly, but still helps eliminate friction. Chamois cream is most known for helping cyclists avoid friction while riding, but it's also an effective fix for everyday chafing. Chamois Butt'r is a non-greasy lubricant formulated for all skin types to treat chafing and reduce friction, according to the brand. It has aloe vera and vitamins A and E to moisturize and soothe skin, and can be easily washed off with soap and water. It's also available in four versions, including a pH- balanced formula made specifically for women, and has a 4.7-star average rating from 10,645 reviews on Amazon. This dusting powder from Lush has a cornstarch and kaolin clay base, which works to absorb sweat and moisture and reduce friction, according to Wu. It's also formulated with cocoa butter to nourish the skin, according to the brand. Compared to other deodorant-like applicators so far in this list, Lush's option is a powder, which Marchbein recommends using only after first applying a regular cream or moisturizer: the cream can work as a barrier and the powder, in turn, can work to absorb excess moisture. She recommends this strategy for people whose skin has already started to chafe to avoid further irritation. 'Boob chafing is real, especially for runners,' says NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin. After experiencing severe chafing on her chest and under boob area from sports bras ('the rash can get so bad that it starts bleeding mid-run,' she says), she started using this Aquaphor Balm Stick religiously before running. 'I don't have to actually touch the product or my skin thanks to the applicator, and the balm creates a barrier between my skin and the bra's fabric, which prevents chafing,' she says. She usually applies it underneath the perimeter of her bra and up to her underboob area. The balm uses avocado oil and shea butter to moisturize skin, and is all-purpose, meaning it can be used all over your face and body, according to the brand. Best anti-chafing underwear Thanks to Knix's Thigh Saver, Malin says she no longer worries about chafing when wearing dresses or skirts. 'The little shorts are thin enough that they're lightweight, but thick enough to prevent my thighs from rubbing together,' she says. She likes how soft and airy the fabric is, which makes the shorts comfortable to wear for hours at a time. 'I literally threw out all my other undershorts after trying these because nothing compares to them.' The shorts are also available in a leakproof version for periods, which has a built-in liner that the brand says absorbs about three regular tampons' worth of blood. This anti-chafing stick from Fur is designed to glide on smoothly while forming a lightweight, protective layer across your skin, according to the brand. It uses chamomile and cica to help calm irritated skin, and is infused with licorice root and niacinamide to reduce discoloration and redness. This stick is also formulated to help soften hair and prevent ingrowns, according to the brand. How to shop for anti-chafing products According to the dermatologists we spoke to, there are certain healing and moisture-wicking ingredients you should look out for when shopping for anti-chafing products: Cocos nucifera: Many anti-chafe products include coconut oil, a natural emollient that helps hydrate skin and glides smoothly. Glycerin or caprylic/capric triglyceride: Also known as glycerol, this ingredient 'moisturizes skin without clogging pores,' according to Wu. Aloe vera: Many of the dermatologists we spoke to noted that aloe can both protect the skin from chafing and reduce inflammation after chafing has occurred. Zinc oxide: Commonly found in products that treat diaper rash and sunscreens, this compound usually comes in the form of a thick, white paste and is designed to form a protective barrier on your skin, according to Dr. Shari Marchbein, Cornstarch: Cornstarch-based products help absorb moisture, making them ideal for anti-chafing products, according to Chiu. Wu added that they can also reduce friction in chafing-prone areas. Vitamin E: According to cosmetic dermatology expert Kenneth Mark, MD, products with vitamin E are 'particularly soothing' and hydrating. Kaolin clay: This mineral helps absorb sweat and skin oils, making it ideal in anti-chafing products, according to Wu. When shopping for a quality option, pay particular attention to what order the ingredients appear on the label: 'Skincare products list their ingredients in order of concentration from highest to lowest,' says Dr. Michele Green, a NYC-based dermatologist. So, 'the closer [an ingredient] is to the top of the ingredient list, the greater the concentration of the ingredient in the given product,' she says.

Sali Hughes on beauty: tinted SPFs are a game-changer – but proceed with caution
Sunscreens have caught some colour, acquiring a little makeup coverage in the form of tinted SPFs. Until now, these have been relatively few and far between. Australian sunscreen specialists Ultra Violette changed the game with the launch of the excellent Daydream Screen SPF50 (£38) a few summers ago. Now, a new batch is launching. The Guardian's journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more. Supergoop! is the first cab off the rank with Protec(tint) Daily Tint SPF50 (£40). The best thing about this very sheer tint is the shade lineup, which is well considered and natural-looking across the board (24N is a perfect match for me). However, skin type matters. It will best suit someone with balanced or slightly dry skin, since the finish will look too moist for oilier types, and cling to any flakiness on very dry skin. Sensitive skins and eyes generally fare best with mineral sunscreens, and Merit Beauty has them covered. The Uniform SPF50 (pictured, £33) comes in a generous 50ml helping and although coverage is still very sheer, it does blend beautifully and realistically. Again, shades are thoughtfully chosen (I'm 26) and all leave a very pretty eggshell sheen that sits at the halfway point between matte and glowy. If your skin is relatively clear and even, it's ideal. But if you'd like a mineral sunscreen with more redness coverage, try Ilia's terrific Super Serum Skin Tint SPF30 (£42), which behaves more like a foundation and has a huge shade lineup for all. Beauty of Joseon's Daily Tinted Fluid Sunscreen SPF30 (£17) went viral upon launch and if you're balanced to combination in type and would like a well-priced sunscreen that imparts a sheer, slightly shiny glow, then it's well worth a go. But dry skins shouldn't attempt this without plenty of moisturising skincare beneath, which brings me to the rub of the matter.

While tinted sunscreens are of the same standard as regular SPF products, their effectiveness is identically dependent on applying enough: two longest finger lengths of sunscreen is adequate for face and neck. And so in order to be properly protected, one would have to apply so much tinted sunscreen as to appear caked in makeup (imagine applying that much foundation and you'll get the idea – you'd look like a TikTok influencer). It's for this reason that I would always suggest applying a tinted product over a regular untinted sunscreen, in a belt and braces approach.

I've tested 100 face SPFs– I swear by this mineral one that feels like a primer
Supergoop's Mattescreen Sunscreen is our head of beauty's top buy for summer 2025... If you'd told me a few years ago that I'd be genuinely excited about a sunscreen, I would probably have snorted. Despite knowing how important daily SPF is – and despite having tested around 100+ products during my decade as a beauty editor, sunscreen, in my mind, always conjured up images of greasy layers, clogged pores and a mirror-like shiny forehead– and I don't mean in a nice 'glass skin' way. I'd try new formulas with hope, only to feel disappointed after a few days of oiliness, irritation or feeling sticky. But then I found Supergoop's Mattescreen Sunscreen SPF30, and I can finally say I'm proudly on board the daily SPF wagon. I was sent a tube of this a few months ago, but being blissfully unaware of just how good it is, I put it to the side in a 'test later' pile. After all, I didn't have high expectations for it, given my track record with most other facial SPF products. Fast forward to today, and it's the only sunscreen I wear now. It's earned permanent status in my make-up bag, and I'll rave about it to anyone who stays standing still near me for long enough (I'm not joking, I even told a girl on the tube about it). Supergoop's Mattescreen Sunscreen SPF30 Pros: Genuinely mattifying without feeling chalky or tight Smooth, silicone-primer-like texture that grips make-up Helps foundation stay in place all day Mineral formula with zinc oxide, ideal for sensitive or reactive skin Light tint that blends well and reduces white cast Doesn't pill under other skincare or make-up Cons: £34 price tag is on the higher side Matte finish may not suit those who prefer a dewy look SPF30 is good, but not the highest available (worth noting, though, that the brand has many other SPF50s) Tint may not blend seamlessly on very deep skin tones What makes this SPF special, for me, is the finish. The name Mattescreen isn't a joke, it truly does what it says. It leaves my skin with a soft, satin-matte texture that looks and feels like a silicone-based primer. If you've ever liked the feel of a product like Smashbox Photo Finish or Benefit's POREfessional, imagine that kind of smooth grip, but with sun protection built in. It creates an even, slightly blurring base that makes applying foundation or tinted moisturiser easy. No sliding, no separating, no weird patches around the nose or chin. As someone with combination skin that leans oily in the T-zone, this mattifying effect is what I didn't know was missing from the SPFs I was choosing. I don't need to layer on powder or blot every couple of hours anymore. On good days, I even skip foundation altogether and just wear Mattescreen over moisturiser with a bit of concealer. It gives a soft-focus finish that's flattering on its own. Another big plus is that it doesn't irritate my very fussy skin. That's often been my issue with traditional chemical sunscreens, which tend to cause redness or little breakouts around the jawline. But the mineral formulation here has stayed gentle and reliable through these mini heatwaves we've had, and even the odd hormonal flare-up. All in all, I'd happily recommend it to anyone who's struggled to find a sunscreen that fits into a makeup-wearing routine. It's rare to find an SPF that doesn't feel like a compromise, but Supergoop's Mattescreen delivers on everything I want it to: it protects, it smooths, it stays put and, most importantly, it doesn't make me dread applying sunscreen every morning. Would I get a higher factor SPF if I were sunbathing or out in direct sunlight for hours? Yes – I'd probably use something like Ultra Violette Future Fluid SPF 50+ Superlight Mineral Skinsceen, £38, which isn't quite as mattifying but is lovely to use and packs an SPF50 formula.
