New York Post Composite Here’s the truth: we know we should be wearing sunscreen… but nobody actually wants a sticky white cast on their nose (unless, maybe, you’re 8 years old and playing at the beach).
One of my biggest annoyances is a sunscreen that’s goopy and sticky — unfortunately, some of the stronger brands I have tried are that way. But there’s one celeb-backed formula that’s never failed me: Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen. This clear, invisible SPF glides on, sinks into skin instantly and leaves zero trace. It’s 30% off on Amazon today, the perfect time to stock up before warmer weather hits.
According to the brand, the unscented formula also doubles as a primer, so you can throw your makeup on over it while also helping “prevent the visible signs of aging.” The results are also backed by clinical data; 94% of users said it primes skin perfectly for makeup, 98% said it doesn’t irritate, and 92% said it won’t clog pores.
One Amazon reviewer summed it up perfectly, saying that with this formula, it “feels like I have nothing on my face.”
Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen is made with several soothing key ingredients, including Chamomile-Derived Bisabolol and Licorice Root — both known to help calm skin and improve clarity. Marine Algae also helps protect against free radicals and pollution for healthier-looking skin, while Meadowfoam Seed Oil provides extra hydration.
Reviewers say it glides on effortlessly and stays put all day. Many have also mentioned that it plays wonderfully with makeup and moisturizers, letting you enjoy sun protection without sacrificing your other skincare or beauty products.
“Truly no white cast, totally clear, and literally feels like skin primer,” one reviewer raved. “This goes great on after your morning skincare. I reapplied, and it still feels great — definitely recommend.”
Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen is recommended for all skin types, and the brand says it’s even gentle enough for acne-prone skin.
For a fast-absorbing, glow-producing face sunscreen, this one from TULA is another go-to of mine and an excellent value, given the tube size.
For a formula that marries a face sunscreen and tinted moisturizer, this bottle from Summer Fridays has that it-factor.
For a budget-friendly SPF that feels high-end (and smells amazing), this less-than-$15 option from Sun Bum is yours for the taking.
