Everyone swears this sunscreen won’t clog pores. I had to know.
The real test? Wearing it under a full face of makeup for 12 hours straight — that’s when my skin usually revolts.
Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40. $38. They call it a “100% invisible, weightless, scentless” primer with SPF.
Texture
It’s a clear, silicone-based gel — feels like a makeup primer.
Application
Absorbs in under 10 seconds. Leaves zero white cast.
The Claim
“Poreless” finish that won’t cause breakouts.

Chemical sunscreen actives. No mineral zinc here. It uses newer filters for broad-spectrum protection.
- Red Algae: helps protect against blue light
- Frankincense: a skin-soother, but mostly for vibes
- Meadowfoam Seed Oil: gives that slick, velvety slip

First impression: weird. It feels slippery — like rubbing a silicone eraser on your face. Blurs pores instantly, but that tight, velvety finish? That’s the potential breakout zone.
Week 3 update: No new cystic monsters. But I got a few tiny, stubborn closed comedones on my forehead — the kind you only see in side-lighting. The silicone might be a bit much for everyday wear.

My skin didn’t freak out. But “poreless” is a stretch — it blurs, but doesn’t vanish them. My makeup lasted longer, though.

It’s a brilliant makeup primer that happens to have SPF. Breakout-free? Mostly — but not a miracle for congestion-prone skin.
