Watch what the Glossier Invisible Shield Water-Gel Transparent Face Sunscreen looks like in action:
Here's what makes it special:
Chemical Sunscreen with SPF 35
Unlike physical sunscreens that use minerals to reflect UV rays, this is a chemical sunscreen. It uses specific ingredients to absorb and neutralize UV rays, protecting your skin from sun damage. SPF 35 means it offers a good level of protection against the sun.
Feels Like a Serum
This sunscreen has a light, serum-like texture. It won't feel heavy or greasy on your skin, which is great if you don't like the typical sunscreen feel.
No White Cast
It goes on clear and doesn’t leave that ghostly white residue that some sunscreens do. This makes it suitable for all skin tones.
Active Microcapsules
These are tiny spheres filled with UV filters that quickly absorb into your skin. They're the key players in providing sun protection without the heaviness.
Water-Gel Formula
This means the sunscreen has a water-based, gel-like consistency. It's hydrating without being oily, and there's no alcohol in it, which can be drying.
Antioxidant Complex
Antioxidants in skincare help to protect your skin from damage by neutralizing harmful free radicals (unstable atoms that can damage cells, causing aging and illness).
Makeup-Friendly
Since it's lightweight and clear, you can easily wear it under makeup.
Sweet Orange Peel Scent
This gives the sunscreen a pleasant, citrusy fragrance.
In short, it's a lightweight, chemical sunscreen with broad-spectrum protection, hydrating properties, and a pleasant scent, making it a good choice for daily use, especially if you wear makeup.
