The PLAY line is great for going to the beach or exercising outdoors, and it’s gentle enough to be used head-to-toe. I must disclose that I have become a full-blown Supergoop addict, and during a recent sale I went to the window, to the wall, till my cart was filled with all and nothing disappointed me. I use them almost interchangeably, depending on mood. That being said, my two gold star favorites are Unseen Sunscreen and Glowscreen.

If you have oily skin and a matte finish is the goal, I have also tried-and also loved-the Mineral Mattescreen, and found that it is incredibly quiche for those who prefer to be sheen-free. It’s billed as a makeup primer-which it performs exceptionally as-but my favorite way to wear it is bare with nothing atop it at all, since it adds a little oomph without needing to apply additional makeup. It comes in two shades, Sunrise and Golden Hour, both of which create that lit-from-within glow that you only get from a really great night’s sleep or a tropical vacation. It’s my “no-makeup makeup” all-star that gives me the perfect iridescent sheen without an overdone glittery look. I simply wake up, wash my face, slather on Glowscreen, brush my brows, apply Chapstick, and stumble to the bodega for oat milk.

This has been my absolute favorite sunscreen product lately (especially for mornings I need to be in public, but don’t require a full beat).

While Unseen Sunscreen is, well, unseen, Glowscreen has a thinner formula which is very shimmery and highlighting, and it contains hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5, and niacinamide, which help boost my skin’s moisture and its texture. So, while I get the Unseen Sunscreen hype now, I actually have a new favorite in the Supergoop rotation-it doubles as my new favorite moisturizer, primer, and all-around hack to better skin: Glowscreen. It even has a line of 100% mineral-based sunscreens that are ideal for people with supremely sensitive or acne-prone skin. The brand helpfully offers travel sizes and plenty of samples if you are still not ready to commit to a giant bottle ( which the brand does have, and I will be buying).

Supergoop has been a blessing for me (and apparently many others with obnoxiously sensitive skin) because it’s so dang gentle.Īs with everything on the internet, there is the occasional critic of Unseen Sunscreen-mostly due to a textural or ingredient-based reason-but that’s OK, because my absolute favorite thing about Supergoop is the brand’s wide variety of products that make finding your personal holy grail sunscreen as easy as taking an online quiz. Plus, as someone with incredibly sensitive skin (and an annoying amount of allergies), I’ve been forced to treat my epidermis like the temperamental little baby she is, and never had the luxury of indulging in overly fragranced or gimmicky products. Now, it’s a seamless, pleasant experience to apply and wear it. But before, wearing sunscreen every day was a chore, an extra step in an already arduous skincare routine that was often “forgotten” if I was short on time. We all know both the health-related and vainity-driven reasons that you should wear sunscreen every day: SPF prevents wrinkles, dark spots, and acne marks, while minimizing the ones you already have. I found that I could comfortably wear it all day when I was out running errands or as the best base for summer schvitz-proof makeup.Īlthough I’ve been wearing sunscreen regularly on my face, décolletage, and hands for about 15 years, the moment I found Supergoop, pretty much everything changed-including, most importantly, my mindset. Unlike the chalky mineral formulas that made me look like a ghost, it’s totally translucent and absorbs quickly, leaving behind a velvet sheen that minimizes pores and resembles the finish of every hot girl’s favorite foundation: Armani Luminous Silk.

But when I first tried the Unseen Sunscreen, I found that it feels exactly like a mattifying jelly primer-a texture totally unlike other sunscreens I’ve tried before. Other products burned my eyes (making me look stoned) or left an extreme white-cast (making me look like the Victorian child haunting your attic). Before trying Supergoop, like everyone else, my SPF game was inconsistent, and I conveniently “forgot” to apply sunscreen in my daily skincare routine.
