Reviews

Sunscreen serum

"The package is beautiful and the lotion is good quality."

— Thuy T. (5/5)

Great option for normal to oily skin

"My husband has complained about every sunscreen I’ve purchased for him, except this one. When I gave him the City Serum he actually said he liked it! His skin is somewhat sensitive and slightly oily so this is a great match. The formula is lighter, not creamy and blends quickly which is exactly what he was looking for. I have dry skin and City Serum also works for me. This is an absolute winner. Thank you, Supergoop!"

— PAULA C. (5/5)

Awesome product

"Love it. Skin looks and feels luminous and glowing."

— Cara B. (5/5)

Everyday Wear for a Cancer Survivor

"A very light moisturizer/sunscreen with urea that has become a favorite in our house. I'm a melanoma survivor, and the daily application of sunscreen is a must for me. This product is so nice that I actually want to put it on every day - and that's priceless to me."

— Jedd (5/5)

Love!

"Love!"

My new daily go-to for SPF and light moisture

"The City Serum has everything I was looking for in a daily SPF. The product is light and easy to apply and the formulation absorbs easily. A couple of pumps in the morning is all I need for my face, neck and décolletage. For touch-ups I carry the Unseen Sunscreen stick. The City Serum is not quite as moisturizing as the Sunscreen Daily Hydrating Cream SPF40 (which I had been using before), but I use a separate moisturizer before applying SPF anyway and I much prefer this packaging to that of the cream with the screw-on lid."

— Jennifer S. (5/5)

An alternative to Unseen Sunscreen

"I purchased this for my daughter because she was only OK with the Unseen Sunscreen, She wanted a more lotion like texture. She also wanted a 30 SPF and this offered that. She rides her bike to work and feels like this does the job of coverage and working with her minimal makeup. It is early days so she will give it a few weeks."

— Diane L. (4/5)
