Supergoop! Mattescreen Sunscreen SPF 40 36 ingredients
No reaction on my super sensitive eczema prone skin. I’ve used about half a tube now. So far it’s my favorite sunscreen I’ve ever used. I personally cannot stand strong sunscreen smells, fragrances, or stickiness.
This sunscreen does have a faint scent and has a dryer texture.
Definitely oil controlling, but only until you need to apply it again. If you don’t wait long enough to apply it after moisturizer or before makeup it will pill so I usually give it 5 minutes. The tint the sunscreen has is kind of strong and leaves a cast so you have to apply this in layers. Also it does attach to your dry spots.. Because this is the only mattifying sunscreen I can count on I keep Show more

Umm..
It dulled my skin not sure if it’s because I used it incorrectly or it didn’t jam with my other products or their ingredients. Also quite small in packaging. Didn’t sting my eyes very convenient to use also when I would use the product it felt like I applied a film or residue on my face if that makes sense I’d have to blend it otherwise it’d look like I smudged Vaseline all over my face, Show more
