I put this clear gel on my face for 30 days straight. Even when I didn’t leave the house.
The real test? Wearing it under full makeup in 90-degree humidity. Zero pilling. A miracle.
It’s a $38 primer-SPF hybrid from Supergoop!. The claim? A truly invisible, weightless shield.
SPF 40
Broad spectrum protection with zero white cast.
Oil-Free Gel
Sits under anything — silicone-based, water-based, you name it.
Scentless
No floral or chemical smell. Just… nothing.

It’s a chemical sunscreen. The hero is Red Algae, which helps protect against blue light. Frankly, that’s hard to measure.
- Avobenzone: Filters UVA rays
- Octisalate: Filters UVB rays
- Red Algae: Blue light & IR claims
- Frankincense: A subtle mattifier

Texture is bizarre — like a slick, velvety putty. Absorbs in 8 seconds flat. Leaves a blurred, almost powdery finish.
By week three, I noticed it can highlight dry patches you didn’t know you had. Hydrate first.

No new sunspots. Makeup lasted longer. But it’s not moisturizing — my skin felt the same, just protected.

It 100% lives up to the invisible, makeup-friendly hype. But it’s a cosmetic luxury, not a skincare treat.
