People Say
★4.1Overall rating based on 600+ reviewsThis mineral sunscreen is highly regarded for its matte finish and non-irritating formula, making it a popular choice for those with oily and acne-prone skin. Many users appreciate its effectiveness in preventing breakouts and providing reliable sun protection.

Questions and answers
What makes Dr. Jart+ Every Sun Day Mineral Sunscreen a great fit for dry skin?
This sunscreen is a great fit for dry skin because zinc oxide and titanium dioxide protect against the sun while ingredients like butylene glycol dicaprylate and glyceryl caprylate provide moderate hydration to combat dryness and flakiness. These moisturizing ingredients help keep your skin comfortable all day long without any harsh or irritating additives.
Which ingredients make this sunscreen a good fit for dry skin?
Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide protect your dry skin from the sun, while butylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate and glyceryl caprylate help keep it comfortable and moisturized throughout the day. Tocopherol adds extra support, and the formula is unlikely to cause irritation.
What does Zinc Oxide do for dry skin?
Zinc oxide is unlikely to help dry skin on its own, because repeated use of this ingredient may increase water loss and lead to a scaly appearance. A product for dry skin needs extra ingredients that lock in moisture and soothe the skin.
What does Titanium Dioxide do for dry skin?
Titanium dioxide sits on top of dry skin to block UV rays without sinking in or clogging pores. A product of this type needs rich, moisturizing ingredients like shea butter to keep dry skin soft and comfortable.

Where does this sunscreen go in a skincare routine for dry skin?
This sunscreen goes as the last step of your morning skincare routine, right after your moisturizer. It provides high sun protection with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide while helping to keep dry skin comfortable all day long.
Can I use this sunscreen with retinol, and in what order?
Yes, you can use this sunscreen in the morning as the final step after your moisturizer and retinol routine. It helps protect your dry skin with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide while providing comfortable daily hydration.
How often should I use this sunscreen?
Use this sunscreen every morning as the final step of your daytime routine to protect against UV rays while keeping your skin comfortable. Daily sun protection helps maintain healthy skin and prevents sun damage over time.
Can this sunscreen clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry skin?
This sunscreen is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on dry skin, as its formula contains no heavy or harsh ingredients known to trigger irritation. However, because it has a thick texture and leaves a noticeable white cast, you should watch how your skin reacts if you are prone to clogged pores.
Is this sunscreen fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
What the research says
Replacing microsized titanium dioxide and zinc oxide with nanoparticles in sunscreens eliminates opaqueness and alters UV protection balance while inducing (photo)cyto- and genotoxicity and penetrating viable skin layers during long-term exposures.
Nanotechnology, Science and Applications, 2011A topical serum containing vitamin C, vitamin E, and raspberry leaf cell culture extract improved skin color, elasticity, radiance, smoothness, scaliness, and wrinkles compared to the untreated contralateral side in fifty female volunteers.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Topical 0.5% hyaluronic-ZnO nanogel applied twice daily reduced inflammatory-lesion counts by 58% at week four in human subjects compared to baseline without causing erythema.
Biomedicines, 2025Nels cream achieved a similar reduction in inflammatory and noninflammatory lesion counts compared to 5% benzoyl peroxide in acne vulgaris patients, but caused significantly fewer side-effects such as peeling and dryness.
Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, 2000Topically applied coated and uncoated zinc oxide nanoparticles under flexing and massage are retained in the stratum corneum with no significant penetration into the viable epidermis and no cellular toxicity in human skin.
Nanomedicine, 2016Microfine titanium dioxide does not penetrate human skin when formulated in an oil-in-water emulsion with the pigment dispersed in the aqueous phase, compared to oily dispersions and liposomal encapsulation which allow deeper skin penetration.
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2000Microfine zinc oxide and titanium dioxide do not penetrate the stratum corneum of porcine skin in vitro, indicating that their use in sunscreens does not pose a health risk from internal exposure.
Toxicology in Vitro, 2006Hyaluronic acid-grafted titanium dioxide nanoparticles increased SPF from 13.3 to 19.1 while demonstrating low photocatalytic activity, exceptional thermal stability with >95% SPF retention, enhanced moisturization with >80% hydration retention, and minimal cytotoxicity with 88.5% cell viability in HaCaT keratinocytes compared to unmodified nanoparticles.
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2025Limonene protects immortalized human skin keratinocytes against UVB-induced photodamage and photoaging by increasing cell viability, inhibiting intracellular ROS generation, suppressing alpha-MSH secretion, and preventing depletion of tight junction proteins through activation of the Nrf2-dependent antioxidant defense system.
Environmental Toxicology, 2022Topical application of Foeniculum vulgare compounds fenchone and limonene increased wound contraction and re-epithelialization in rats compared to untreated and sham control groups over 10 days.
Biotechnic & Histochemistry, 2017Cold pressed terpeneless Valencia orange oil completely inhibited Campylobacter jejuni and reduced cells attached to chicken skin by 1.5 to 2 logarithms compared to control, while showing variable inhibition against Campylobacter coli and Arcobacter spp.
International Journal of Food Microbiology, 2009Topical application of an antioxidant serum containing 15% ascorbic acid, 0.5% ferulic acid, and 1% tocopherol prevented particulate matter-induced degradation of extracellular matrix components, inflammation, and oxidative stress in the skin of 15 female volunteers compared to untreated controls.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2025Dermatological products containing d-alpha tocopheryl acetate showed non-comedogenic potential with less than a 50% increase in microcomedones in 12 healthy male subjects compared to octyl palmitate.
Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications, 2021Topical application of an antioxidant mix containing 15% ascorbic acid, 0.5% ferulic acid, and 1% tocopherol prevented PM and UV-induced skin barrier perturbation, lipid peroxidation, inflammatory markers, MMP9 activation, and Type I collagen loss in 15 healthy females compared to untreated exposed skin.
