Short answer: pick by finish and by when you will use it. For an everyday base layer with no white cast, choose a sheer mineral lotion. For tinted coverage, choose a tinted mineral formula. For reapplying over makeup during the day, choose a brush on powder SPF.

The No Show SPF 50 uses an all mineral, non nano zinc oxide formula that is well suited to sensitive skin and works for all skin types.
Do I need sunscreen if I use retinol or acids?
Yes. Daily mineral SPF is especially important when your routine includes actives like Retinol 0.5 or exfoliating acids. Apply SPF after serums and moisturizer every morning.
How do I reapply over makeup?
Use one of the brush on formulas. They let you add SPF through the day without removing makeup.
