PROS:
Provides reliable broad-spectrum sun protection.
Helps smooth skin's texture for makeup.
Sets to a lightweight, non-greasy finish.
Antioxidants help defend against the visible effects of pollution and blue light.
Clear finish, suitable for any skin tone.
CONS:
Contains potentially irritating fragrance.
As the name suggests, this product offers a completely invisible, weightless way to get your daily SPF. Unfortunately, it misses our top rating due to the inclusion of a small but still potentially irritating amount of fragrance in the form of olibanum, AKA frankincense.
Dispensed via an opaque squeeze tube, the clear, silicone-based formula glides over skin and sets a smooth base for makeup. It's not quite as oil-controlling as Supergoop makes it out to be, but it's still a nice texture for normal to oily or combination skin due to the lightweight, non-greasy finish.
As claimed, the formula contains a couple of antioxidant-rich ingredients that help defend against the effects of pollution and blue light. We also appreciate the broad-spectrum SPF 40 (synthetic-based), which helps prevent signs of premature aging.
Product Claims:
-Unique, oil-free formula
-Can be used as a primer underneath your foundation
This innovative, antioxidant-rich multitasker has a unique oil-free formula that glides onto skin while providing broad spectrum SPF 40 protection. Use it as a makeup-gripping primer under foundation when you want a little more coverage, or on its own if you want a more natural look. It’s a totally game-changing way to wear sunscreen every day, and it will have you SPF-Obsessed™.
Amazon user product honest review:
"I was hesitant to purchase this because of how expensive it is for the amount you’re given but it was totally worth it! I usually have issues with sunscreens and moisturizers making my other skin care products peel (I use hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and alpha arbutin) but this sunscreen is perfect! I experienced no peeling and no white caste like you would with mineral sunscreens. The texture feels like a foundation primer and doesn’t look or feel greasy. Highly recommend and definitely worth it."
