I really like Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen spf 40. It also acts as a makeup gripping primer.

I just had a thought!
How about a primer that is a sunscreen? Wonder why this hasn't caught on yet?

@LTT1 @Janey2 I always prefer my own skincare, spf, serum, etc. If it's combined with something else, I don't know the percentage or if it's something my skin won't like, etc. I try to find my individual products and stay with those much longer than you'd imagine. I don't look for the new shiney penny.

@Leggett28

I discovered Super goop last year and really like it as my primer too!

It's not greasy on, and doesn't make my makeup sweat off. I seldom use foundation now with this!

@Janey2 I think the confusion is the naming of SPFs. A physical sunscreen. is also nown as a mineral sunscreen. As long as mine contain titanium dioxide and zinc oxide as main ingredients I'm OK. I never sit in the sun and always wear a wide brim hat when walking, etc.

@Shanus The new SPF radiance serum has a mineral spf and yet, after emailing them, to go by these instructions it is applied first. I really like this stuff but I'm confused-makes me wonder about how much she really knows about sunscreens.

Serums usually do go on first b/c they are considered to be treatment products primarily. The mineral SPF isn't really going to give enough protection once the product has been disturbed on the surface of the skin. A second sunscreen should really be applied on top. But if the Radiance Serum is all you plan to wear, w/o anything else on top, then that would be an effective sunscreen all by itself.

@Judaline Not familiar w/ that brand or a serum spf. I just followed my derm's advice for an spf with main ingredients titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. I use Skinceuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50. It has a slight tint better than the tinted DRMTLGY which was a bit dark for my fair complexion. The Skinsceuticals also has the same one in untinted that I use on my neck and chest (if a v nec or blouse) so it doesn't get on my clothing.

Yes, more expensive than most, but I've found this to be most effective and not greasy or oily so I can add my own moisturizer as needed. I do apply this sunscreen last before my foundation.

Mineral sunscreens can be thought of like frosting on a cake. It's the last thing put on but if the frosting gets disturbed then the cake underneath ( like your skin) will be exposed to the elements (the sun).

Thanks. I wrote rms the same time as I wrote you. The product I'm talking about has the same ingredients as the one you mentioned, altho they sure were hard to find on the list. I like this product but there's no way I can use it every day-it's not a large container, so I use it for certain "appearances" for lack of a better word, lol. So I will look into your fave and thanks as usual for your one on one advice!

@Shanus I forgot to enclose what they wrote back! It can be used under or over but I think under is not going to work for whomever reads that, haha.

It is a tinted skin nourishing, mineral-based daily sunscreen serum and soft focus radiant complexion corrector with natural-looking illumination and SPF 30 broad spectrum protection. I like to use it before my foundation, but you can also use it through the day on top of your foundation when you need to reapply it!
