Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sunscreen is a non-negotiable year-round, wherever you live. A broad-spectrum SPF provides protection from UVA and UVB rays, which can cause ageing effects such as fine lines, wrinkles and dark spots, as well as harmful damage that can lead to skin cancer.
With many SPF options coming with a premium price tag, it can be tricky to find an affordable option which ticks all of the boxes. And as it’s something to wear every single day, considering cost does come into play.
So, we were pleased to discover that Garnier’s Ambre Solaire anti-dark spots and anti-pollution SPF50+ is currently down to less than a tenner at Amazon. This IndyBest-approved purchase was named best budget buy in our review of the best sunscreens for the face, so we know it’s a trusted pick, too.
Here’s everything we know about this lightweight lotion which protects skin from pollution, helps target dark spots and contains skin-loving ingredients.

This 40ml bottle of sunscreen offers broad-spectrum SPF50+ protection, and it’s an ideal size for top-ups on the go. The lightweight lotion is ideal for quick and easy absorption, while it is fragrance-free for those with sensitive skin. It’s worth knowing that the formula is non-comedogenic so it won’t block your pores, either. In terms of its key ingredients, hydration-promoting hyaluronic acid and vitamin E provide a moisture boost.
We named this exact product the best budget buy in our best sunscreen for the face review, where our reviewer said that the “lightweight lotion instantly absorbs into the skin, while hyaluronic acid and vitamin E give that hit of hydration”.
