I’ve always envied people who wear sunscreen every day. Like, I know you’re supposed to, but I could never find a sunscreen that worked for me and my skin type (dry)—especially one that I could apply before my makeup without it causing pilling.
Now, I know some foundations have SPF protection in the formulas, but my derm recently said it’s usually not enough. With that said, I figured as a beauty writer, I should probably take my own advice (and my derm’s!) and start wearing sunscreen every day. After some research on different brands, I decided to go with Supergoop. Plus, you can score up to 25 percent off sitewide right now, courtesy of the Supergoop Friends & Family sale running for a limited time. Take 20 percent off sitewide and 25 percent off when you spend over $100 through Labor Day weekend. Not familiar with the cult-favorite suncare brand?

What Is Supergoop?
Never heard of the brand? Supergoop is a skincare brand solely dedicated to “suncare.” All of their clean and cruelty-free products contain sun protection. Depending on the product, you’ll find either SPF 40 or SPF 50 that work to protect against UVA, UVB and IRA rays.
In addition to sunscreen, Supergoop also has CC cream, moisturizer, refreshing mist, eye cream, lip balm and more.
My Experience With Supergoop
I received a shipment of goodies from Supergoop, mostly regular sunscreen. As soon as I opened the box, I put a bottle of their best-selling Unseen Sunscreen SPF in my makeup case so it would become second nature to apply it.
The Unseen Sunscreen has SPF 40 and claims to be ideal for all skin types. (For even more protection, the brand’s most popular Play Everyday Lotion SPF 50 is a must.)
I hoped it would live up to its claim as someone with dry skin. I applied a dime-sized amount to my finger and worked it into my face. Sometimes, after sunscreen application, I feel a filmy layer on my face, but I did not with the Unseen Sunscreen. If anything, my skin felt hydrated, plump, and downright glowing. Plus, a little goes a long way with this sunscreen, so you can say goodbye to those endless squeezes to get full coverage.
Unlike other sunscreens, my face wasn’t left ghostly white or tacky after application. It actually wasn’t visible on my face at all, which is not something I can usually say about other sunscreens. Oh, and there’s no scent. I can’t stand super fragrant products, so this formula earned some extra brownie points for being fragrance-free.
In addition to the sunscreen, I tried the Glow Stick. I love a good highlight, so my eyes instantly gravitated to this product. For those looking for a subtle glow, this is for you. It was a little too subtle for me because I like an extreme glow. If you’re going to the beach and want a natural, sun-kissed look, this is for you. However, for those looking for a highlight you can see from outer space, this is not it.
The packaging says to reapply every two hours, but I didn’t. I felt fine with the one-time application. However, I’d definitely opt for the (Re)setting Refreshing Mist to not only keep my makeup intact but also reapply an additional layer of sunscreen throughout the day.
Are you curious to try the coveted SPF brand for yourself? Now’s the perfect time to find out what all the hype is about while you can score up to 25 percent off sitewide. Read ahead for my top three favorite products from the brand.
