And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, it can. Vitamin C also helps to promote a brighter complexion with fewer dark spots and a more even skin tone by inhibiting melanin synthesis.

And another very positive review says, “I’m supposed to use face sunscreen with my acne medication, but all the sunscreen I’ve tried before has felt super heavy and left my face oily. So I basically avoided using sunscreen at all. But that’s not the case with this stuff! It’s extremely light and not like anything you’ve used before. It really is as if you’re not wearing any sunscreen at all. Nothing short of a miracle.” The American Academy of Dermatology recommends a broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30. Anything above SPF 30 is not usually necessary as it has little incremental benefit and below 30 does not offer enough protection. The one thing we don’t love about this Supergoop sunscreen is the inclusion of fragrant essential oils, such as orange peel oil and lemon peel oil, especially since this product is meant to be applied before going into the sun. SPF (sun protection factor) is defined by the FDA as “ how well a sunscreen protects you from sunburn”. Thus, the number following SPF on a sunscreen label tells you how much UVB light that sunscreen can filter out. That’s because citrus oils are known to cause photosensitivity — a heightened skin sensitivity to UV rays — due to compounds known as furanocoumarins. It’s best to avoid skin care products with citrus oils, especially sunscreen products!That’s because the brand uses four chemical sunscreen ingredients in this product, including avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, and octocrylene. Together, these ingredients provide broad spectrum SPF 40 protection. The formula also includes hydrating ingredients like glycerin and apple fruit extract, as well as mica and titanium dioxide to smooth skin texture and create instant radiance. There are some pretty good emollients in this formula, such as squalane and caprylic/capric triglyceride, which both help to increase the skin’s hydration while keeping it soft and smooth. The brand claims that aloe vera and blush clover extract are key ingredients, but both ingredients are present in very low concentrations (less than 1%). We introduced the 10 best Supergoop sunscreens above, but keep in mind that Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen is by far the brand’s most popular product. But is it right for you? Here’s a breakdown of the most important factors to consider before purchasing this product:

As the name suggests, this Supergoop sunscreen was formulated to be used for a day of play, such as going to the beach or playground, or exercising outside.

However, this is another Supergoop sunscreen with citrus extracts, including orange, grapefruit, and lemon. Remember, citrus extracts are photosensitizers, which means they increase your skin’s sensitivity to UV rays. This Supergoop sunscreen is ideal for those with oily skin, or anyone who wants to create a matte finish. For example, one review says, “Tried this today for the first time. Felt like Vaseline on my face, which I could deal with but it didn’t work. I applied before going out in the sun, and reapplied twice more while outside and am left with a horrible sunburn. Very disappointing.”

Thaggard created sunscreen formulations — what she referred to as “goop” — and got them into schools in Texas to better protect the youth during their time playing outside. The brand has since expanded to offer an entire range of SPF products, including everything from moisturizers to makeup to serums and more. Supergoop offers both chemical sunscreens and mineral sunscreens, which may leave you wondering; what’s the difference? And does it matter which type I use? Below we’ll give you a brief overview on the differences between these types of sunscreen ingredients. However, this brand does not offer products for every step of your skincare routine. For example, they don’t offer cleansers or toners, and they only have two serums. And another review mentions experienced breakouts after using it. The review says, “Really upset about the quality of the product. It caused me to have breakouts and increased redness in my t-zone. I’ve also had issues with pilling even when I only layered it over a moisturizer, no serums. Not worth the money. I don’t think it prevents sunburns either.” Our Verdict
