Reviews

I never liked using SPF

"I never liked using SPF but this mineral susncreen is just like a cloud, I feel my skin so soft and no shine al all. I really recomend this product."

— Christopher S. (5/5)

Nice but still sticky after a while

"This product goes on nicely, runs in, and color blends well to add a little color. But I feel like it’s not as matte at the unseen sunscreen and I find myself blotting a little sticky greasiness off my face within an hour of applying."

— Andrea (4/5)

Best sunscreen EVER!!

"I have always struggled with finding the right sunscreen for my acne-prone, oily skin. Every one I've ever tried has just left my skin feeling tacky and looking more greasy than before, resulting in me just not using sunscreen. But then I found mattescreen! The name doesn't lie! It has a beautiful matte finish, and I have yet to experience that sticky, greasy feeling that I've had with other sunscreens, even after wearing it all day!"

— Finleigh L. (5/5)

How?

"Doesn't bother my skin at all, it is like applying air. Was surprised at first because mineral matte sunscreens usually dry me out (I have very dry skin on my cheeks). The sunrise tint blenders perfectly, it is literally like you are wearing nothing. I can wear it all day, and apply over and over, makes 0 difference to my day. I would argue that this is more cosmetically elegant than most chemical sunscreens. The only sunscreen that has worked for me after 2+ years of looking. Amazing, I could not be happier."

— Chris (5/5)

Horrible!

"I used to use the mineral sheer sunscreen and it was amazing. They discontinued it sadly and now just have this matte mineral option. It’s HORRIBLE. Texture is gross and filmy and not to mention gave me HORRIBLE contact dermatitis on my eye lids. Burning pain. Do not buy!!!! Bring back mineral sheer formulation please! boycotting these products unless the old formulation comes back"

— Victoria (1/5)

Matt Screen 40

"This product covers leg blemishes well leaving a smooth finish. It may even help bleach out keratosis spots."

— Kathleen S. (5/5)

Go-to for 5+ years

"I have been using this mattescreen since 2021. I have oily/combo skin and this is the product for me! I prefer this over the unseen one because it dries down to a matte finish & provides a thin layer of a blurring effect."

— MV (5/5)

Love this product

"I love how smooth this feels on the skin and blurs out imperfections. The built in sunscreen is so convenient!"

— Kimberly K. (5/5)

Great Sunscreen

"Love this matte tinted mineral sunscreen. It spreads smoothly and covers well. I much prefer the matte finish over skin as shiny as Rudolph's nose (like most sunscreen). A good value for the price. I also appreciated it was delivered quickly after ordering."

— Regan D. (5/5)

Love the matte!!

"Absolutely love how the sunscreen goes on and how smooth it is. Enjoy the fact it’s matte without being dry."

— Cheryl S. (5/5)

Q&A

Do your sunscreens use nano or non-nano Titanium Dioxide?
Great question! All our 100% Mineral formulas are currently non-nano! All Chemical products are non-nano as well.
Does this product have a fragrance or scent?
Hi Michelle, All our formulas are synthetic fragrance free. Natural extracts are sometimes used to add a light refreshing scent like in our PLAY Everyday Day Lotion with Sunflower Extract. Certain ingredients used in sunscreen formulations have a natural scent that may not only come from the sunscreen active themselves. Once it is lathered on to the skin any scent natural to the formulation will dissipate completely.
Hi I had purchased this product recently. But it does not clearly stated whether it is using Non nano zinc or Nano Zinc. Could you please kindly verify and revert with which zinc it is using? Many thanks. ~ Akemi
Hi there, All our 100% Mineral formulas are non-nano! 🔆
Is this too dark for fair skin? Currently, I use the mineral unseen sunscreen. Should I stick with that?
Hi there, Mineral Unseen is non-tinted, so I'd recommend sticking with that if Mattescreen is too dark. If you'd like to try a different tinted option we do have our Protec(tint) Daily Skin Tint, which comes in 14 flexible shades. If you need further assistance, please reach out to hello@supergoop.com! 💛
Hi! Is the zinc used coated or uncoated?
Hi Angelica, The zinc used is coated! 🙂
