Reviews

Best sunscreen ever!!

"I hate when sunscreens feel sticky and too thick on my hands and skin, it makes me want to run to wash my hands immediately! This one DOES NOT feel like that at all! Super silky smooth and absorbs nicely into the skin. Even my kids like it! I have several tubes, one in my purse, one in my car, and one in each of my kids soccer bags. They are just that good!! Highly recommend this sunscreen!!"

— Michelle F. (5/5)

This product isn’t too sticky and is truly clear

"I use this product every day with my concealer. I get compliments on my skin because my dark spots aren’t exacerbated by extra sunlight. The texture isn’t too heavy or goopy (as zinc oxide would feel) the clear quality is a true representation of the product"

— Alicia A. (5/5)

Goes on clear but burns my eyes

"I really wanted to like this sunscreen but I don't think I can use it. Or I have to be way more careful about how I apply it. It unfortunately ends up running into my eyes and making it super uncomfortable. I spoke to another friend who told me the same thing happened to them, so I know it's not just me. The formula otherwise goes on so clear and feels light. I wish this worked for me but it doesn't."

— Annie P. (2/5)

Best every day sunscreen ever.

"I wish I could find something less expensive that I like half as much but unfortunately for my wallet Unseen is hands down the best sunscreen I’ve ever tried. No white cast, no break outs, wears well under makeup, it’s basically perfect."

— Mary S. (5/5)

My favorite sunscreen

"This is the best sunscreen I've found that not only protects but works wonderful under makeup. It mattifies better than most primers I've tried and primes well too. It doesn't irritate my sensitive reactive skin either. It delivers on all its promises."

— Robyn D. (5/5)

Sunscreen AND Primer

"The best sunscreen. Goes on like a primer, its clear and leaves your face feeling so soft. Wear it everyday and never mind putting it on! Not greasy at all nor does it pill."

— Kate (5/5)

I've tried so many sunscreens

"I've tried so many sunscreens that supposedly won't leave a white cast or pill, only to end up wasting tons of money on various products. FINALLY I found one that does both and seems to also help with oil control!"

— Cassie K. (5/5)

Best sunscreen

"This sunscreen is a light gel that is not the least bit greasy. It works great under makeup and is similar to primers I have used. I recommend it to anyone who wants to protect their skin from sun damage on a daily basis."

— Janis M. (5/5)

Great product

"I love this sunscreen. I can't use zinc oxide because it make my skin to dry and this product is perfect."

— Cheryl S. (5/5)

Unpopular Opinion

"Unpopular opinion! The unseen sunscreen burned my eyes every time I wore it. I tried it various times all summer long to see if the circumstances were unique, but there is obviously something in it that doesn’t agree with being near eyes. This disappointed me because I purchased it to use on my face (like everyone does), and it was so expensive! I haven’t had this experience using the Matte Screen, and I’ve used the matte screen everyday for over 3 years."

— Klae G. (3/5)

Q&A

I noticed in the directions it says to reapply this sunscreen every two hours. I do not apply my makeup every two hours. If this product is meant to wear under makeup I will be wearing all day then how is it possibly providing protection if it must be reapplied every two hours? Thank you for clarifying!
Unseen is Beauty Base Layer. It is essential to finishing off a great skincare routine or to serve as the canvas of your makeup routine. Unseen goes on completely clear and invisible giving you a 100% natural look. A unique complex derived from Meadowfoam Seed Oil helps increase hydration levels, resulting in a more even skin texture. For facial reapplication, our (Re) Setting 100% Mineral Powder SPF 35 truly go above and beyond. Reapplication is a key to a successful SPF routine! Not only does this product make it super easy to reapply your sunscreen, but it also sets your makeup and gives your skin a boost throughout the day! Everything is in the details, optical diffusing silica silylate helps absorb oil, reducing shine and delivering a matte finish. If you have oily skin that needs to be mattified throughout the day, then our (Re)Setting 100% Mineral Powder is your pick. Ceramides and Olive Glycerides help in sealing moisture. While Coated Silica diffuses light and diminishes the appearance of pores, creating a soft focus finish. ✨
Can this be used on other places (arms, legs), or is it just for the face? I love how it goes on and isn't greasy so I'd like to use it everywhere on any exposed skin.
Hi there! While our original, iconic Unseen Sunscreen is an invisible gel SPF that doubles as a makeup primer with skincare benefits for face, our Unseen Sunscreen Body comes in a silkier, more glide-able gel formula that spreads easily for quick application on body. Plus, Unseen Body has a unique set of ingredients that are optimized to nourish and retain moisture on the skin on your body, which can be prone to dryness! 🔆

I can’t find this on my current tube of unseen 50 - usually there is a little icon that tells you how long it stays good AFTER you open it. How long does this product stay good after opening?
Hi Vanessa, The expiration date for the Unseen Sunscreen can be found along the crimped edge of the product. Reach out to hello@supergoop.com if you're still unable to locate it and we can assist you further!
