What sunscreen does a supermodel use to keep her skin hydrated, protected, and looking flawless under makeup? (It’s not a rhetorical question!) If the supermodel in question is Kendall Jenner, then I know the answer. She’s loyal to a certain Korean SPF that delivers long-lasting hydration, barrier support, and a nearly invisible finish. The best part? It only costs $18, which is a fraction of the cost of other celeb-loved formulas. Keep scrolling to see *the exact* sunscreen she loves.
Anua Zero-Cast Moisturizing Finish Sunscreen
Jenner, who was recently named Anua’s global brand ambassador, uses the Zero-Cast Moisturizing Finish Sunscreen in her summer skincare routine. Before I detail all of the extra skin benefits it offers (there are multiple), I want to start with the most basic and important aspect: sun protection. It delivers broad-spectrum SPF 50 to keep the skin safe from harsh UVA and UVB rays. The chemical sunscreen uses a combo of UV filters, including avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, and octocrylene.
Beyond that, though, it offers myriad benefits. Let’s talk about hydration first. Thanks to hyaluronic acid and glycerin, it helps moisturize the skin for an impressive 72 hours after application. (Those ingredients also contribute to the sunscreen’s lightweight, watery texture, but more on that in a minute.) Meanwhile, niacinamide and panthenol help strengthen the skin’s natural moisture barrier to keep that hydration locked in and even help balance oil production.
The texture is similar to a creamy skin serum; think lightweight, watery, and easily spreadable on the skin. Once it dries down, it’s nearly invisible with no greasy residue or white cast. And it layers so well under foundation, concealer, blush, and bronzer—no smudging, pilling, or lifting. In fact, P&K Skin Research Center conducted a study to assess its “makeup adhesion.” In the study, 100% of people between ages 20 and 59 agreed that it provided an invisible finish with zero pore-clogging effects or excess oiliness. So, even though it provides a highly glowy finish, you don’t have to worry about it exacerbating acne.

This serum uses 10% azelaic acid and three types of hyaluronic acid to soothe redness. It’s one of my favorite anti-rosacea serums, and I recommend all the time.
