Morning lotion + sunscreen in one step. Seven real options, compared — plus your current night lotion for reference.
Best feel: Supergoop! PLAY Everyday — the one that actually feels like lotion.
Cheapest test: Sun Bum 1 oz trial for $5.39 before you commit to a full tube.
Keep at night: your CeraVe SA Lotion — nothing with SPF also exfoliates.
Every option scored 1–5 on the same four criteria. Protection and value are fully objective; feel is my judged score, labeled as such. Water-resistance claims verified on brand/retailer pages — Hampton Sun doesn't state one, so it gets base points only.
| Protection /5 | Value /5 | Lotion feel* /5 | Sensitive skin /5 | Total /20 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sun Bum Trial 1 oz · $5.39 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 18 |
| Supergoop! PLAY 2.4 fl oz · $18 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 4 | 17 |
| Sun Bum Original 3 oz · $11.49 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 17 |
| Vacation Mini Whip mini · $10.95 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 17 |
| Olay Complete Sensitive 2.5 oz · $19.99 | 3 | 3 | 5 | 5 | 16 |
| Raw Elements Travel 1 oz · $8.99 | 5 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 15 |
| Hampton Sun Mineral 3.2 oz · $20 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 12 |
Two honest caveats: the Sun Bum trial wins on value but it's 1 oz — a tester, not a daily driver. And the Olay is a face-size tube (2.5 oz); it works on body but you'll go through it fast.
CeraVe — your current bottle
Keep this for nights only. It's the only one here that treats rough, bumpy skin — no SPF lotion does both jobs. SA also makes skin more sun-sensitive, so night is its rightful shift.
