Good morning everyone!
Today’s two-minute review centres the Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen.
As a person of colour, my first concern is, say it with me, white cast. Since I started taking skincare seriously and understanding the importance of sunscreen daily, that was my first point of contention. Even though my skin tone is not the darkest, I am by no means light-skinned. This means that, if there’s even a possibility of a white cast, I’m looking ashy. Thankfully, this sunscreen does NOT disappoint in this category.
As you can see, I use the mini size and this lasts me around 3 months even when I use it daily. It is 0.67 ounces for $30 and compared to yesterday’s post about the TULA moisturizer, I’d say that’s a bargain. Also, remember that you’re not using it day and night and that you don’t need the same amount as a moisturizer.
It’s won an Allure award, it’s oil-free and is 100% worth it to me. When you apply it, it smooths your skin. I’m assuming that this would help your foundation or concealer go on more smoothly as well. For my combination and acne-prone skin, it doesn’t cause me to break out. I think because I’ve incorporated it daily into my skincare it has significantly helped my dark marks from acne disappear.
It also says it’s SPF 40 (which is a minimum), water resistant for 40 minutes (I haven’t been near a body of water since 2019, so I would not know) and is certified clean at Sephora. So if you have sensitive skin, this would probably be a winner for you. My niece also says it smells like sunscreen, but she’s 11 and my palm was smushed into her face when she said this. I don’t think it smells like anything.
Overall, this gets a 5/5. This is my second bottle of the mini size and I will definitely re-purchase. I would like to try the Glowscreen however, so maybe this summer that review will be linked here. If you have tried either the Unseen or the Glowscreen, let me know in a comment!
