We’re all looking for ways to streamline our beauty routines, particularly when that comes in the form of a product that pulls double (or triple) its weight. That’s exactly what the very best tinted moisturizers with SPF do. These overachievers provide essential protection from UV damage, hydrate skin, and camouflage imperfections to create a complexion that looks naturally flawless.

“This category of products is just as it sounds — a lightweight moisturizer with a bit of skin tint to act as a hydrator while offering slight pigment for sheer coverage,” says board-certified cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Dendy Engelman. “This is a great swap for foundations in the summer when you tend to sweat off heavy makeup, and many of them often contain SPF to help prevent sun damage.”

Within the last few years, a wave of brands have introduced clever new formulas, ingredients, and packaging to make tinted moisturizers with SPF for mature skin, oily skin, and dry skin even more innovative and time-saving. These multitasking products are ideal for warm-weather months (or year-round wear if you prefer a natural finish). And as far as coverage goes, the best tinted moisturizers with sunscreen are a solid option for those wanting a natural look. “A tinted moisturizer provides light coverage while also hydrating skin and leaving a glowing finish,” says makeup artist Campbell Ritchie.

Check out our choices for the best tinted moisturizers with SPF, along with tips for how to apply it and the benefits of the hydrating beauty product.

Editor’s Choice: Top 3 Tinted Moisturizers With SPF of 2025

Selecting the right tinted moisturizer with SPF for you is highly dependent on your skin type. Those with dry skin will want to reach for an emollient formula full of hydrating ingredients, while those looking for a tinted moisturizer with SPF for oily skin should opt for ones with matte finishes and oil-absorbing ingredients. Beyond this, it’s also important to consider the coverage you’re looking for, as well as any skin sensitivities. Our list of the best tinted face moisturizers includes options for all of the above, which is why instead of highlighting one best overall, our top three picks cover a range of skin types and coverage levels. These selections are based on extensive editor testing, positive tester reviews, and a gorgeous finish. Below, our winner’s circle.

Beekman 1802 Milk Tint SPF 43 Tinted Primer Serum: This mineral formula uses goat milk and niacinamide to deeply nourish without feeling greasy, making it our top choice for those who love the feel of a lush moisturizer. Our testers found that it delivers the smoothest, most even finish on dry skin types — and keeps it soft, balanced, and fresh all day long.
Chantecaille Just Skin Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15: One of the most luxurious picks on our list, this cult-favorite formula pairs sheer, natural-looking coverage with powerful botanical ingredients like green tea and edelweiss. It’s the best tinted moisturizer with SPF for mature or sensitive skin thanks to its skin-soothing benefits, antioxidant boost, and non-chemical SPF.
Hourglass Illusion Luminous Glow Foundation SPF 30: A weightless pick, this sheer, watery tint feels barely there — even after a full day of wear. It’s the best option for oily or combination skin types who want breathable, buildable coverage with SPF that won’t clog pores or slip midday.

During testing, our panel found that no matter your skin type, hydration is a key element to seek out in a tinted moisturizer with SPF. Without this, we found the pigment to apply splotchy and fade unevenly over time. Beekman 1802’s Milk Tint is a stellar choice because it’s full of hydrating ingredients that soften the skin rather than overwhelm it with moisture (particularly on hot summer days).

Goat milk feeds skin essential vitamins, minerals, and omega fatty acids to support a balanced complexion, while niacinamide helps with a hydration boost. The all-mineral formula is excellent for sensitive skin.

Editor testing and review notes: “Beekman 1802 creates some of my favorite body butters and hydrating hand soaps with their signature goat milk that softens (and lightly sloughs!) skin on contact. So it makes sense that their tinted moisturizer would pack the same sensorial feel and nourishing effect. I shake the product well before using it, then use the dropper to deposit the tinted moisturizer directly onto my cheeks. I find that the formula applies flawlessly whether you smooth it on with your hands or a brush.” — WWD Shop contributing commerce editor Claire Sullivan

Chantecaille Just Skin Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15

Finish: Velvet
Special features: Comes in seven shades and has antioxidant benefits.

$70

This OG tinted moisturizer recently got a refresh that eliminated silicones and introduced additional antioxidant-rich, plant-based ingredients. But rest assured, Chantecaille’s cult-favorite tinted moisturizer still delivers flawless, barely-there coverage that celebrity makeup artists love. While it looks like foundation, it acts more like skin care, calming and protecting skin with a cocktail of botanicals, including honeysuckle, edelweiss, and green tea (this is especially beneficial for sensitive skin). “I love green tea for its anti-inflammatory properties, which help reduce skin irritation, skin redness, and swelling,” says Ritchie.

“I love this product and wear it daily,” says Ritchie. “It’s quick and easy to apply, gives me a beautiful natural glow that doesn’t look like I’m wearing foundation, I look like I’ve been in St. Tropez for the weekend. It’s a makeup bag essential to me because of its non-chemical SPF.”

Editor testing and review notes: “Chantecaille’s Just Skin tinted moisturizer is aptly named — it melts into my skin when I apply it with clean fingertips, giving me a fresh-from-a-facial glow. I usually apply it over one of my favorite sunscreens to wear under makeup to get the SPF 30 I need (the product provides SPF 15, so you’ll want reinforcements in the sun-protection department). But even with additional product layered underneath it or on top, it never pills, streaks, or creates excess shine by day’s end.” — Sullivan

While it’s technically a foundation, this Hourglass product applies more like a tinted moisturizer with SPF — it’s ultra sheer, wears comfortably throughout the day, and doesn’t require careful application to look natural on the skin. Where some tinted moisturizers on our list have more balm-like textures, this one is watery. That makes it an excellent choice for those who don’t want to feel their makeup products on their skin throughout the day. The formula is featherweight while providing light, skin-smoothing coverage that you can apply in layers to conceal redness or blemishes.

Editor testing and review notes: “This tinted moisturizer is one of my favorites to wear when I’m breaking out — its lightweight formula doesn’t feel like it’s suffocating my pores, but it provides enough essential coverage to conceal my pimples and blackheads. More to love: It leaves skin looking radiant and grips onto any bronzer, blush, or highlighter you apply on top.” — Sullivan

Hyaluronic acid, plant-based squalane, and niacinamide work together in this Ilia skin tint to plump and hydrate skin. The SPF 40 coverage has non-nano zinc oxide to shield skin from rays, as well as blue light and pollution. Even better, the brand specifically formulated this Super Serum Skin Tint to be silicone-free, fragrance-free, chemical-free, oil-free, and non-comedogenic, so it could be safe for even sensitive skin.

Editor testing and review notes: “This is a true one-and-done skin care and makeup hybrid. It’s so moisturizing that I intentionally skip face serums and heavy moisturizers when I wear it (and I have dry skin, so that’s saying something). Selecting the right shade for your skin tone is a little tricky, however once you find your winner, it creates the most beautiful, radiant look that rivals prestige foundations.” — Sullivan

According to our testers, Hermès makes one of the best tinted moisturizers with SPF for mature skin. That’s thanks to the emollient feel that restores hydration and provides a smooth, even canvas for liquid blushes or cream bronzers. Evening primrose oil and hyaluronic acid contribute to the cushiony balm texture that plumps skin with moisture, softening the look of fine lines while concealing discoloration. Note that those with oily skin will want to set with powder to avoid excess shine.

Editor testing and review notes: “This product is nothing short of luxury — exactly what I expect from Hermès after testing the house’s gorgeous eyeliners and lip balms. It’s the thickest tinted moisturizer we got our hands on during testing, which greatly benefits dry or mature skin types. I found that the balmy texture helped make my skin look radiant; it gave me such a healthy sheen that I could skip my usual cream highlighter.” — Sullivan

$47

This CC cream from It Cosmetics is a great full-coverage tinted moisturizer with SPF for all skin types, delivering ingredients like vitamin E and hyaluronic acid that soften and hydrate skin without making it greasy. A longtime bestseller, this tinted moisturizer with SPF acts as your base makeup, face sunscreen, and anti-aging serum all in one. Because of its hydrating formulation that blurs discoloration and doesn’t settle into fine lines and wrinkles, it’s rated as one of the best tinted moisturizers with SPF for mature skin types, too.

Editor testing and review notes: “I’ve gone through at least five tubes of It Cosmetics’ tinted moisturizer with SPF in the past four years — it’s a product that I always keep in my makeup bag, particularly if I’m traveling. A little goes a long way with the formula; I typically use two pumps for a full glam look or just one for a no-makeup makeup moment. It’s comfortable to wear in all seasons, keeping my skin soft and hydrated during winter and preventing breakouts and shine on sweaty summer days.” — Sullivan

A masterful hybrid of skin care and makeup, and this BB cream from Maybelline is the best drugstore tinted moisturizer with SPF our editors tested. While it’s only available in five shades, each is sheer enough to create a flattering, skin-smoothing filter across fair to deep skin tones. If you’re looking for a tinted moisturizer with SPF that acts similar to foundation, this isn’t the pick for you. But for those after light coverage that delivers the look of naturally gorgeous skin, it’s a top choice. Similar to top foundations for acne-prone skin, this tinted moisturizer with SPF is oil-free, breathable, and non-comedogenic.

Editor testing and review notes: “I’m all for drugstore mascaras, but complexion products are usually where I splurge. Maybelline’s tinted moisturizer blew my expectations out of the water — during a blind test, I favored this one over a $45 tinted moisturizer. It has a velvety feel on my skin that doesn’t require extensive shade matching (because it’s sheer, this formula is forgiving). I apply a dime-sized amount for a quick skin pick-me-up.” — Former WWD Shop writer Olivia Cigliano

Saie’s beloved Slip Tint has it all: hydration, a clean SPF, and a lit-from-within glow with coverage that feels incredible. It’s also bursting with skin-saving ingredients, like licorice root extract for brightening, hyaluronic acid for moisture, and argan and grapeseed oils for plumping. Because of this and its pretty radiant finish, it’s one of the best tinted moisturizers with SPF for dry skin types you’ll find. Available in 14 shades, the sheer coverage is intended to be flexible and adjust to complement a wide range of skin tones.

Editor testing and review notes: “This product is TikTok-famous for a reason: It creates a radiant base for any makeup you apply on top, it doesn’t clog my pores, and it earns me loads of compliments on my skin when I wear it. Dry skin types will worship it for its dullness-busting power, and because it revives the look of dry, tired skin on contact. The pump can be finnicky, but other than that, I have no notes.” — Sullivan

It took Amy Liu, the founder of Tower 28, three years and over 50 iterations to get the SunnyDays formula and packaging just right. “As someone who has struggled with sensitive skin my entire adult life, I know how hard it can be to find both the sun protection you need and the coverage you want, all while ensuring you’re not making your condition worse (sunscreen products are notorious for irritating chemicals and pore-clogging ingredients),” says Liu.

“Plus, as a POC who wants mineral sunscreen, you’re almost destined to be left with a white (or even worse – gray) cast on your skin.” Perfecting the color range so it would look wonderful on everyone was just important to Liu as ensuring it was completely non-irritating. The zinc-oxide SPF formula was designed with the help of celebrity makeup artist and friend of the brand Kirin Bhatty. “Together we started shade development with the deepest shade first to ensure we got it right, and used both iron oxides and titanium dioxide (a mineral shield) as pigments to help us reach that perfect tone,” says Liu. It’s also the first and only complexion product to receive the National Eczema Association’s Seal of Acceptance — that means this clean tinted moisturizer with SPF is created without any potential irritants and has been third party tested and reviewed by dermatologists to be safe for sensitive skin.

SunnyDays’ list of fans and reviewers is endless, and celebrity makeup artist Jamie Greenberg notes it’s one of her favorite tinted serums with SPF, too.

Editor testing and review notes: “Those with sensitive skin know that the wrong complexion product can cause a flare-up in redness and irritation on contact. Not only can I trust Tower 28’s tinted moisturizer with SPF to keep my skin calm, but it’s also great for concealing redness and other visible signs of skin irritation. It provides buildable coverage with a slightly dewy effect, which I love for a radiant makeup look.” — Sullivan

Eltamd knows sunscreen –– the brand was created by dermatologists, so it’s no surprise that it’s also the most common sunscreen brand recommended by them. This tinted moisturizer with SPF is particularly great because sunscreen is the main focus of this product: The SPF 40 zinc oxide ingredient seamlessly blends in and the tint lessens the white cast commonly found with many other zinc-based sunscreens. Plus, this face sunscreen incredibly hydrating, thanks to the hyaluronic acid in the formula.

This is a great tinted moisturizer with SPF for those seeking effective sunscreen and hydration, but just the smallest tint of coverage. Over 17,000 shoppers have awarded the acne-safe sunscreen a full five stars on Amazon, including one reviewer who called it the “nectar of the gods” for how soothing the SPF is on their rosacea-prone skin.

Editor testing and review notes: “Nearly every dermatologist I’ve interviewed during my eight-plus years as a beauty editor has recommended this sunscreen, and I love it, too. It delivers bulletproof sun protection in an easy-to-wear formula. I struggle with rosacea on my cheeks, and this formula is one of the few face sunscreens that covers it without exacerbating irritation with consistent wear.” — Sullivan

It’s an excellent formula for those with combination skin like me, as it provides the right amount of hydration without overwhelming my shine-prone T-zone.” — Sullivan

If you prefer a natural, matte finish with your tinted moisturizer, Laura Mercier’s Skin Perfector is the best tinted moisturizer with SPF for oily skin types. We love this cream because it’s infused with oil-absorbing powders that balance out complexions without making skin feel tight or dry, due to the inclusion of vitamin E and licorice root extract to hydrate and calm irritated skin. Fans also point out that it is the perfect balance between sheer and buildable coverage, but never looks cakey. It’s even makeup artist-approved — Greenberg loves it.

Editor testing and review notes: “Laura Mercier tinted moisturizers are in every beauty lover’s hall of fame: These formulas are all-stars in the category for their creamy texture that essentially become one with your skin after you apply them. When I wear this tinted moisturizer, I never have to worry about carrying around blotting papers or checking my skin in a mirror, as the formula has a flawless, long-wearing finish.”

I usually apply this with a densely-bristled makeup brush to lend control on where I smooth it onto my skin. It’s an amazing option for covering breakouts or discoloration on my cheeks, and I don’t have to worry about coating my whole face in the formula, as it blends in seamlessly with my skin.” — Sullivan

The Benefits of Using a Tinted Moisturizer with SPF

If you’ve yet to find your ideal daily SPF product or just find it laborious to apply, a tinted moisturizer might be for you, especially when you consider that daily SPF coverage can literally save your life. “Much of the exposure we get is what we dermatologists label as “inadvertent” sun exposure,” says board-certified dermatologist and founder of Dr. Loretta Skincare, Dr. Loretta Ciraldo. “It is not always from actual sunbathing, but instead from the accumulation of sun exposure that we get from driving in our car — UVA rays go through window glass — or shorter outdoor exposures like walking the dog, picking up the children at school, etc, where a significant amount of UV exposure accumulates. If you apply your SPF to exposed skin, including our faces, every morning, you are protected from photodamage resulting from daily inadvertent exposure.” Preventing skin cancer is just one of the benefits of using a daily tinted moisturizer with SPF.

But is the SPF in your tinted moisturizer enough? Yes and no. “SPF in tinted moisturizer can be adequate for the first few hours if you’re spending most of your time indoors, but I recommend also applying a traditional sunscreen every two hours, especially if you find yourself outside for long periods of time,” says Dr. Engelman, who adds that reapplication is vital.

“Excess sun damage through the years increases the risk of skin cancer and increases the intensity and number of dark spots, fine lines, wrinkles, and dilated vessels on the skin,” says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Elyse Love. “Preventing sunburns is the most important step, but daily sun exposure through the years also contributes to these skin effects.”

When you plan to leisurely spend the day outside, Dr. Love recommends applying a dedicated SPF on top of a tinted moisturizer in the morning for extra protection.

What to Look for in Tinted Moisturizers

The beauty of a tinted moisturizer is that anyone can use it, says Ritchie. From teens to grandmothers to those with sensitive or acne-prone skin, there is a tinted moisturizer formula out there for you.

SPF Coverage: “If you use a tinted SPF 30 or higher you will get enough SPF coverage from this product alone,” says Dr. Loretta. Of course, if you’re outside for longer than two hours or sweating or playing in the water, layer a dedicated SPF atop your tinted moisturizer. There are a variety of SPF coverage options in the 20 products below, but most experts suggest starting at SPF 30. Is your SPF lower than that? No problem, it’s great to have that coverage in addition to another SPF product you layer on top of your tinted moisturizer.
Skin Care Ingredients: Some shoppers love to wear a tinted moisturizer on top of their other daily moisturizer for an additional boost, while others prefer to use a tinted moisturizer as their sole source of moisturizer for the day. Whatever your preference may be, look for hydrating skin care ingredients in your tinted moisturizer, like hyaluronic acid to provide long-lasting moisture or niacinamide to brighten your skin tone.
Your Skin Type: It’s important to pinpoint your particular skin type because the ingredients and texture will vary based on whether you have oily, sensitive, dry or combination skin. “There are different variations of tinted moisturizer that better suit some skin types than others,” says Dr. Engelman. “Matte finishes are best for oily skin because it soaks off excess oil and helps minimize pores. However, dewy or radiant finishes should be applied to sensitive or dry skin as it works to retain water on the skin.” When it comes to acne-prone skin, Dr. Love suggests seeking out oil-free tinted moisturizers. You could also find a product that features salicylic acid to actively reduce acne throughout the day, too.

The Best Way to Apply Tinted Moisturizer

Before you run off to the store to grab your perfect tinted moisture with SPF, here are a few makeup artist-approved application tips.

As with all makeup, a successful application starts with prep. Ritchie suggests starting with a clean face. She likes using a toner or face mist to hydrate and then massaging in the tinted moisturizer with her hands. “I encourage everyone to use their hands for an easy application and natural finish,” she says. If you need an extra dose of glow and moisture, try adding a drop or two of a face oil to the tinted moisturizer in the palm of your hand before application.

When applying the tinted moisturizer, Ritchie likes to dot the product on the nose, forehead, and chin. She then gently blends and works the product outwards towards the hairline with her warm hands. If any spots are red or uneven, she adds an additional layer in those areas. She finishes with a clean foundation brush to gently buff around the face to ensure there are no makeup lines or streaks.

Of course, if you’re more of a makeup brush type of user like Greenberg, go that route instead. “Some people prefer using their hands to apply, but I prefer using a brush to evenly apply all over the face,” she says.

If you want some shine reduction, both Greenberg and Ritchie suggest swiping a small amount of finishing powder on the spots — usually the t-zone — or wherever it’s needed.
