Scouted: Here's Why Dermatologists and Beauty Editors Are Obsessed With This $25 SPF
Scouted selects products independently. If you purchase something from our posts, we may earn a small commission. While I'm not saying I'm proud of it, I've never been a religious sunscreen user. While I do stay indoors most of the time (bring on the gloomy fall weather, please!), sunscreen is a key step in my skincare routine when I'm going to be in the sun—especially during vacation. The last sunburn I got in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, stained my back for months, so lesson learned. Given that I've never been a diehard sunscreen enthusiast, I've never had a solid favorite. I recently got into the Sol de Janeiro Rio Radiance Body Spray SPF 50 because it has such a unique summer scent of Cheirosa '97, and it applies effortlessly. Of course, I've used the viral Vacation Sunscreen Classic Whip SPF 30 because what kind of beauty writer would I be otherwise? But when it comes to the face, it wasn't until my first Candela Matrix Pro radiofrequency microneedling treatment that I found my go-to sunscreen. The team at Candela sent me off with a goodie bag filled with post-microneedling care must-haves: Cetaphil Daily Oil-Free Hydrating Lotion and my new go-to SPF, La Roche-Posay's Anthelios Sunscreen-Gentle Lotion. Aside from being post-procedure-approved, Vergara says that this affordable sunscreen, which targets both UVA and UVB rays, is an especially solid option for users with oily skin, thanks to the inclusion of lipo hydroxy acid, which can help keep breakouts and shine at bay. '[Lipo Hydroxy Acid] is a derivative of salicylic acid, and it can renew oily skin,' she says. 'It also contains vitamin E, which is a great antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals,' she says. Given Vergara's approval, along with hundreds of glowing reviews from Amazon shoppers, I knew I had a winner in my hands—and after using it consistently for a few weeks, I understand the hype. Not only did it protect my skin from the sun post-treatment (when the skin is extra sensitive to light), but my makeup went on extremely smoothly over the SPF—and it stayed in place for hours. I've gone on to take it with me everywhere, but the product was really put to the test on my birthday when I stayed at the stunning Casa Del Mar in sunny Santa Monica. I slathered on the SPF from head to toe and spent the day lounging by the pool, with an early evening seaside stroll on the sand before dinner. Despite the hot temps, I piled my makeup on strong over the gentle sunscreen. To my surprise, the SPF helped keep my makeup looking smooth and velvety (no excess shine!) throughout the day, and I was left with not a burn in sight. Three months after regular use, I've decided that not only does the non-greasy SPF protect my face and body, but it truly does serve as a remarkable makeup primer as well, which is one less product I have to pack with me when I travel. I may not use this SPF every single day, but when I do reach for a sunscreen, La Roche-Posay's Anthelios Sunscreen-Gentle Lotion is the one I grab.

Could the electric hydrofoil ferry change the way we commute?
During the golden age for ferries in the 1800s, steamboats dotted the shorelines of coastal cities to transport passengers. Then cars and trains took over. Now, driven by congestion and the revitalisation of urban waterfronts, ferries are making a comeback. But, what operators struggle to offer is a fast, sustainable mode of transit. "Commuters want speed," said Jakob Kuttenkeuler, a professor of naval architecture at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. Over the last few months, however, Stockholm has been testing a vessel that may solve that problem: the world's first electric hydrofoil ferry . Developed by a Swedish start-up, Candela, a 30-seat, battery-driven vessel known as the P-12 has almost halved the commute time of a conventional diesel ferry - to 30 minutes - across an 11-mile stretch between the island of Ekero and City Hall in the centre of Stockholm. At the same time, the P-12 emits 95% less emissions than the diesel ferry and uses 80% less energy, according to SL, the Stockholm public transport authority. Gustav Hasselskog, Candela's founder and chief executive, said the realisation, 11 years ago, that his speedboat guzzled 15 times as much fuel as his car had set him on a course to develop an energy-efficient maritime solution. "High-speed passenger ferries and boats are the least fuel-efficient mode of transit in the world because almost all energy is used to push away the water," he said. "If you convert to electric, you need massive amounts of batteries, which are expensive and have limited range. The only way to go far and fast on the same battery is when you hydrofoil." Hydrofoils are the winglike structures mounted under a boat's hull to lift the craft above the water as it gains speed, much as airplane wings do through the air. The technique drastically reduces drag from water friction and allows for faster, more energy-efficient travel. Kuttenkeuler, who invented the Efoil, an electric hydrofoil board that glides above the water's surface, said hydrofoil technology was a common marine transport system in the 1980s but was phased out because of the high operational costs. Advancements in digitalisation, composite materials and sensor technology have contributed to its comeback, he added. In addition to the environmental benefits, the electric hydrofoil has several other advantages. The batteries are relatively small, so they do not require massive charging infrastructure. They do not generate waves that erode the shoreline or wreak havoc for windsurfers and moored boats in their wake. And because they are kept level by a computer and soar over the waves, they do not cause seasickness. So far, Mumbai, India, has the most ambitious plans for the P-12. JalVimana, the local shuttle operator, will begin with 11 ferries on popular tourist routes from the Gateway of India to Alibag and Elephanta Island. A third route will connect the airport with the centre of Mumbai, cutting travel time from 90 minutes by car to less than 30 minutes on the water.

These innovative electric ferries look like nothing else on the water
Swedish company Candela first demonstrated its sleek and stealthy C-8 speedboat on Sydney Harbour last year. This $750,000, electrically powered pleasure craft has a carbon-fibre hull and rises on stilt-like foils to increase speed and efficiency. In the process it provides an exceptionally smooth and wake-free ride. But as with many sports cars, the C-8 is largely there to get your attention. The maker's real objective is to sell you something a little more practical. In Candela's case, that's a small ferry.

Mumbai is set to ease its chronic traffic congestion by turning to the sea. A fleet of 11 flying electric ferries will soon serve commuters in the city, offering faster, cleaner alternatives to road travel. The hydrofoiling Candela P-12 vessels, ordered by Mumbai-based operator JalVimana, will spearhead the creation of a high-speed electric transport network across the city's announcement was made during India's Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal 's visit to Stockholm, where Candela CEO Gustav Hasselskog and JalVimana CEO Niraj Thakur confirmed the purchase. The Candela P-12 — a Swedish innovation — uses underwater wings to lift the hull above water, dramatically reducing drag, energy use, and emissions while offering a smooth, silent ride.'This is a groundbreaking project that unlocks the full potential of Mumbai's waterways,' said Hasselskog. 'With the P-12, we will show that foiling electric ferries can add a vital new layer of mobility to Mumbai.'The initiative forms part of Maharashtra's broader vision to revolutionise urban transport by investing in sustainable maritime infrastructure . Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Ports Minister Nitesh Rane have announced plans for thousands of electric vessels to integrate the coastline into the public transport first phase includes routes between the Gateway of India and Alibaug — cutting travel time from nearly three hours by road to less than 30 minutes — and to Elephanta Island. A new line linking the upcoming airport to central Mumbai is also in development.'This is a giant leap for Mumbai and our national goals for a sustainable future along India's vast coastline,' said Thakur. 'JalVimana is honoured to bring this Swedish innovation to Indian shores.'Candela's P-12 made its commercial debut in Stockholm in late 2024, significantly reducing emissions and commute times. The Mumbai fleet represents the world's largest order of electric passenger ferries , positioning the city as a global leader in urban maritime mobility.
