The Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40 is creating a buzz in the skincare community, touted as an invisible and lightweight sunscreen. I decided to give it a try to see if it lives up to the hype. From its packaging to its feel on the skin, benefits, and some points to consider, here’s a comprehensive review.
Supergoop claims, “This cult favorite is the original invisible sunscreen! With an oil-free formula and a natural finish, this innovative, antioxidant-rich essential glides onto skin to provide broad spectrum UVA/UVB and infrared protection while helping to filter blue light. Bonus: It doubles as a makeup-gripping primer!”
Packaging
The Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40 is packaged in a minimalist, sleek, and travel-friendly tube. The user-friendly squeeze tube design allows for easy dispensing without wasting any product.
Formula
The sunscreen features a gel-like, weightless formula that blends effortlessly into the skin, leaving no visible residue or white cast.
How to Use
Application is straightforward: dispense a small amount and massage gently into the skin. This versatile formula can be worn alone or as a primer under makeup.
Pros
- Transparent Finish: Blends seamlessly on all skin tones.
- Lightweight Texture: Feels weightless and doesn’t interfere with makeup.
- Broad-Spectrum Protection: SPF 40 shields against UVA and UVB rays.
- Versatility: Suitable for everyday wear and outdoor activities.
- Non-Comedogenic: Ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Cons
- Quantity: May be insufficient for heavy users.
- Price: Higher compared to drugstore sunscreens.
Conclusion
The Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40 lives up to its promises with its transparent, weightless formula. It leaves no chalky residue or white spots—just a smooth, clear layer suitable for all skin tones. It feels more like a primer than a traditional sunscreen, making it an excellent base for makeup. It’s a fantastic option for everyday use, offering effective sun protection. While the quantity might not be enough for heavy users and the price is on the higher side, its benefits are substantial.
I got a 0.5oz tube in the Sephora Sun Safety Kit earlier this year. It is available on the Supergoop website, major beauty retailers, and select department stores, with prices ranging from $22 to $76 depending on the size.
