What the gurus are saying

This chemical sunscreen blends beautifully across all skin tones and disappears into skin with a radiant, slightly oily finish. The creamy texture and antioxidant blend make it worth considering if you have pigmentation concerns or dry skin, though those on the oilier side may find the finish heavier than they prefer. At $42, it offers solid sun protection with skin-nourishing extras.

"Peter Thomas Roth Max Vitamin Defense Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50 isn't necessarily a new launch, it was launched in 2023 but it is new to me. It's a chemical sunscreen with all the typical four chemical sunscreen filters that we find in US sunscreens: avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, and octocrylene. It runs kind of a mid-range at $42 for the 1.7 ounce, and of course it blends in beautifully for all skin tones."

"Peter Thomas Roth has his Max Vitamin Defense SPF 50 with vitamin D in it. It also has vitamin B5 and antioxidants as well to help protect your skin. This is retailing for $42. It is formulated with coenzyme Q10 and it is surprisingly creamy in texture. So if you have pigmentary problems, this one might not be bad to look towards. This one also has a lavender tone which helps block the appearance of any sort of discoloration on your skin."

"Peter Thomas Roth has an SPF 50, [...] their Max Vitamin Defense, and it retails for 42 dollars. There is no fragrance. When you see it, it is slightly thicker than the Kiehl's one and it holds its form more. It is also a chemical SPF so it's going to be elegant as well and it's going to disappear. It has a little bit more of an oily finish compared to the Kiehl's one, so if you are on the oilier side you may not love this, but if you're on the dry side you may like the radiant finish."
