Reviews

New Formula Stings; Too Orange

"Expanding shades for inclusivity was great, but I didn’t realize the formula changed until after days of using a new tube of Sunrise, my face, eyes, and lips were burning and stinging. I have a mini tube of the old formula and within a day my face calmed down again. I gave the new formula one more try and the pain returned. After 8 years of daily use I’m so disappointed this can no longer be my ride or die spf. I also compared the old tube to the new sunrise tube and, despite claims it’s the same the sunrise color is much more orange. Maybe the new formula will work for those with less sensitive skin, but I can no longer purchase and use mattescreen. Attached photo shows original mattescreen tint on the right and the new Sunrise tint on the left. Significantly different both before and after blending."

Great suncreen, maddening packaging

"I have very sensitive skin, and I love this sunscreen. Finally - a mineral sunblock that's lightweight with a pleasant, powder-like smoothness instead of something thick and greasy with a strong white cast. The tint is minimal, but not nonexistent, and the matte effect is gentle. However, I HATE the shape of the bottle. It is very obviously - by the design orientation and the advertising - supposed to be upright, stood up on the cap. However, the cap is too rounded on the rim and far, far too narrow. It tips over CONSTANTLY and is difficult to store as intended. There is absolutely no excuse for it. Supergoop: y'all gotta fix this ASAP."

Nice lightly tinted matte sunscreen

"The texture and tint are perfect for everyday wear. I usually wear this daily when working in the office. Work great with the translucent powder for quick and easy protection with a it of color correction."

— Hil (5/5)

This changed my life!

"I have been using sunscreen on my face for years. Learned it from both my grandma and mom. I love a minimal make-up look and was using nothing tinted for years. Then decided to try this, and woah- it just creates a beautiful effect on my skin- poreless, longlasting, doesn't break me out, and of course, the best part: super sun protection. And this is from someone who has acne prone skin! Highliy recommend."

— Amanda (5/5)

New Formula is NOT the Same

"This has been my go-to for YEARS but the reformulation is awful - the "original, which they're calling Sunrise, is extremely pigmented and orange. Looks absolutely awful. Back to the search for an HG sunscreen. . ."

— Julie (1/5)

LOVE this Mineral Mattescreen

"First tried this from a sample I received with my usual order of Glowscreen and Bright Eyes. I get SO many compliments on my (literally) glowing skin, but really wanted to find something that was more matte for other occasions (and I no longer do foundation). Exactly what I was looking for was delivered in a sample of Supergoop Mattescreen and it was immediately added to my rotation. It is light, it is matte, it is exactly what I needed. Gives me some light coverage with a beautiful matte finish and I LOVE it. Nailed it again, Supergoop!"

— Jennifer Y. (5/5)

Easy "to go" routine

"Tinted sunscreen that doesn't irritate my face? Where have you been all my life? This and mascara and I'm ready for summer fun!"

— Julie R. (5/5)

Perfect

"I’ve used the universal shade before but was especially intrigued when I noticed it now comes in various shades. Ordered golden hour and am very pleased with the look!!"

— Terri L. (5/5)

Beautiful finish, but breaks me out

"This sunscreen really does look and feel gorgeous, but after 2 days of use I started to get tons of blackheads and bumps. What a shame, will be looking for something else."

— Tracey S. (2/5)

Great natural look

"Was worried when I first started to apply it, as it looked a bit chalky. But then it blends in to the skin perfectly. Very natural look and keeps skin from looking oily all day. This is my new go to."

— Barbara C. (5/5)

Q&A

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! 🙂
Does this sunscreen use nano-zinc?
Hi Isa, Yes, this product is non-nano! 🔆
