With summer on the way, one of the most important products to have in your skincare arsenal is sunscreen, and over the last few years, there’s one that’s been a staple in people’s lineup: Supergoop’s Unseen Sunscreen. It’s silky smooth, lightweight and formulated to double as a primer—that way, you can layer on your favorite products without worrying about sun damage. While the product has been celebrated for its quality and formula, a 1.7 oz bottle costs $38, and when dermatologists recommend sun protection everyday, using this sunscreen daily and reapplying every 90 minutes to two hours can really add up. Luckily, shoppers and creators have been sharing their best budget-friendly alternatives and Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen dupes. Here, check out a few that stand out.
What is Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen?
This sunscreen became popular when it was released in 2018 as the first-of-its-kind invisible gel sunscreen. It was an instant bestseller because it wasn’t like anything else available and solved a lot of the problems people have with sunscreens, like going on too thick, leaving behind a white cast and having a distinct smell. Instead, Unseen truly sinks into skin, blending in with all skin tones, and feels lightweight. And because this formula has had a cult-like following, it now also comes in a mineral face version and a body version.
Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen dupes
Don’t feel like dishing out upwards of $38 on a little tube of sunscreen? No problem! Try out a few of these alternatives that promise similar benefits and feel for a lower price.
Trader Joe’s Supergoop dupe
The Trader Joe’s Daily Facial Sunscreen SPF 40 has long been declared the tried and true Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen dupe, and that’s because it’s a high quality product for only $8.99! It’s clear like the Supergoop, oil and fragrance free and glides on smoothly.
SPF 40 protects from the sun’s harsh rays, and folks have found this to be a great alternative to the original product. “Just bought Trader Joe’s brand and it is awesome!,” wrote one commenter on a TikTok video sharing the love for the product. “Love it, non greasy, and don’t even know it’s on!”
Kroger jumped on the Supergoop dupe bandwagon
A Supergoop alternative at your local Kroger? We’re obsessed! The Kroger Sunscreen Invisible Gel SPF 40 claims boldly on their packaging that it compares to the active ingredients in the Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen, and the invisible gel offers the same sun protection as the original. Plus, at just $12, it’s hard to beat. Some shoppers have shared that they’ve had trouble finding it in stores, but others have revealed that they tend to be able to find it during the warmer months.
Sun Bum offers Supergoop-like protection
Sun Bum knows what they’re doing when it comes to sun protection, and many have shared online that their Daily 50 Face Gel is the real deal. The clear formula goes on invisible and offers sheer protection, moisturization thanks to Vitamin E and a radiance boost thanks to Vitamin C. Get it for $21.99.
e.l.f. has mastered the art of the dupe
When it comes to dupes, you can always count on finding an affordable alternative to your favorite high end products through e.l.f.—and their Suntouchable Invisible Sunscreen SPF 35 is no different. Another almost identical formula to Supergoop’s is this option that retails for $15. For added skin benefits, this sunscreen contains antioxidant-rich meadowfoam seed oil (just like Supergoop) and aloe that help shield skin from the sun to ward off a sunburn and UV damage. Best of all, it also doubles as a primer as it has a grip-like finish to help makeup stay in place all day.
Black Girl Sunscreen provides that same clear sun protection
People have been loving the Black Girl Sunscreen Make It Matte™ SPF 45 Sunscreen for its silky smooth feel and application. At $21.99 a bottle, it’s fragrance free, lightweight and includes ingredients like aloe, shea butter and squalene to moisturize.
