Are chemical sunscreens safe to use daily on the face?

Reviewer consensus

Yes. Modern chemical filters used in the formulas covered here (avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, and in some cases newer filters in Korean products) are FDA-permitted and widely recommended for daily wear by dermatologists cited across the reviews we read. People with very reactive skin sometimes report stinging, so patch-testing on the jawline first is sensible.
