I don’t know about you guys, but as a woman of color, my peers and I hardly used sunscreen (aside from parents making us) - prob bc of the white cast. I’m glad it’s being more talked about/used now esp w inclusive brands!
i agree with you 10000%! i don't think i used sunscreen until i was about 17/18 years old which is so wild looking back. even though there's still room for improvement, i love all the new sunscreen options there are available -- especially to people with darker complexions. thank you for stopping by 🤗🤗🤗
Loving this vid 😍. The play reminds me of the Riemann P20 FACE SPF 30. I don't see many reviews on it and it's super rich. I have oily skin and HATE oily products....but it's the first oily-ish sunscreen I've used for work daily with no issues... It's super cheap in comparison and easily accessible. And leaves no cast on my darker skin at all!
i'm glad you enjoyed the video!! someone else also recommended the p20 sunscreen to me (so now i'm even more determined to try it out), but it was out of stock everywhere when i last looked :( i'll definitely have to look again because i'm really intrigued by it 🥰🥰🥰
I really hate the smell of the Unseen Sunscreen. I think you're right, it smells like some kind of petrochemical. My guess is that it's the dimethicone and other silicones that create the "slip" feeling you described. Fortunately that smell dissipates as the sunscreen dries down. I don't mind the feel of it, I wear it fairly regularly. My go-to for most daytime wear is the Supergoop Play SPF 30. It sits a lot lighter on my skin, and I find that it's less sticky when it dries, though the dewy finish stays all day. If I'm going to be out in the sun for long periods I'll put on the Play SPF 50. Weirdly, the SPF 30 never makes my eyes sting, but the SPF 50 does. Anyway, thanks for your video! It was helpful, and I enjoyed your presentation style. :)
oh wow, it's really interesting that the play spf 30 and spf 50 seem to be quite different! i would've thought the formulas would be the same (despite the different spf number). that makes me want to try the play spf 30 because it sounds like it might be better for these heatwaves we've been having in the UK. which would you say is your favourite out of the unseen sunscreen and the play? aww thank youu! i'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful 🥰🥰🥰
@@byalicexo My favorite is the Play SPF 30 most of the time. But during our recent heat wave (Seattle, where I live got up to 108F/42.2C, which was an all-time high), the Unseen held up better to the heat, by which I mean my sweat LOL. It didn't slide off my face as easily, where the Play got really sticky. I have long, straight hair so my only recourse against having it plastered to my face and neck was putting it up. The Play SPF 50 and SPF 30 do have slightly different formulations in terms of their UV filters. They both contain homosalate 10%, octisalate 5% and avobenzone 3%, but the SPF 50 also contains octocrylene at 7.5%. I guess that's what brings the formulation up to SPF 50.
i'm so glad you enjoyed the video!! i did try makeup on top of the sunscreens and found that my makeup wore nicely on the top. i still had issues with the texture of the unseen sunscreen on my skin, but the makeup looked really good on. i actually filmed a video so let me link it here: ua-cam.com/video/4L_C08W6Uh8/v-deo.html 🥰🥰🥰
i'm glad the video was helpful :) let me know how the unseen sunscreen works for you! i've heard it's quite good for oily skin so hopefully you'll like it 🤞🏾🤞🏾🥰🥰
aww thank you! yeah, sunscreens are quite tricky, aren't they? the lemon one is deffo my favourite though and omg the smell is really amazing -- i wish more sunscreens smelt like it hehe 🤗🤗🤗
i'd need to double check the PA rating because i can't remember, but i definitely felt more protected wearing the play than the unseen. i'm glad you enjoyed the video! 🤗🤗🤗
they put it on as the last step in your skincare routine, so i would say yes to applying moisturiser first. but maybe try it without moisturiser and see which way feels better on your face. glad you enjoyed the video 🤗🤗
ooh that's a good point. i think a stickier texture helps makeup last longer on the face, but i think it comes down to preference and what the product feels like on the face. i'm biased but i would go with the play (unless your skin gets super oily/you don't like the sweaty sunscreen look 😂😂) hope that helps 🤗🤗🤗
The greasy part is obvious Which do you prefer? It is very sunny in the UK,the sun sets by 8pm..Do you think one still need sunscreen while taking an evening walk at 7pm? Do you bother wearing your sunscreen while you are home?
i know, right? especially compared to the unseen sunscreen hahahaha. personally i prefer the play everyday lotion because it feels nicer on the skin, but i wish it wasn't as oily all the time. yeah i'd still wear sunscreen even if it later in the day, and sometimes i top up my sunscreen if i'm going out haven't already done in the day, just because the sun is still out so the uv rays can still affect you. and as for wearing sunscreen in doors, i always wear sunscreen inside because uv rays can still come through the window (and on the off change i find myself nipping outside quickly) i hope that helped :) 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you for this review. I'm considering getting the unseen sunscreen cause my skin is oily and my problem with SPF has been looking greasy. What music did you use for this video? I really like it
from what i've heard, the unseen sunscreen could be better suited for your skin type as it's a lot more matte. and as for the music, it's called 'within reach' by always dreaming and it came with the editing software i was using at the time. hope that helps 🤗🤗🤗
ah nooo! that sucks. do you have dry skin too? but yeah the play is deffo very oily (especially when it's super hot like it's been here in the UK these last couple of days)

The video I needed! Picking the play one :)
yay!! i'm glad this video was helpful. let me know how you like the play sunscreen once you've tried it 🤗🤗
yes, I'd like to know as well how you like it ☺
My skin is oily and I use the play it’s super greasy but my skin always feels so supple 🤩
i love how my face feels after using the play sunscreen 😍😍 it's a shame it's so greasy for you though :(
@@byalicexo it’s okay I don’t mind it people say I’m glowing so 🥰
that's the best compliment 🥰🥰✨✨✨
Have you tried it without moisturizer? Is there a difference in how greasy it is without it?
@@babytg93 I’ve tried it both ways and honestly if you continually rub it in over the course of an hour the oilyness subsides

I love the unseen one 😍
I use the unseen one for my face and the play one for everyday sunscreen
love the video! have you tried makeup on tip of sunscreen? i would love to hear how that worked🤗
i'm so glad you enjoyed the video!! i did try makeup on top of the sunscreens and found that my makeup wore nicely on the top. i still had issues with the texture of the unseen sunscreen on my skin, but the makeup looked really good on. i actually filmed a video so let me link it here: ua-cam.com/video/4L_C08W6Uh8/v-deo.html 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for this video. I have just purchased the unseen. I'm super pale (50+ SPF is best for me) but I'm oily. The play everday would break me out. X
i'm glad the video was helpful :) let me know how the unseen sunscreen works for you! i've heard it's quite good for oily skin so hopefully you'll like it 🤞🏾🤞🏾🥰🥰
I would use the Play in the winter and Unseen in the summer
Smart idea I think that’s what I’m gonna do 💯 play for fall and winter and unseen for spring and summer ❤
This was very helpful. Thank you :)
yay! i'm glad this was useful 🤗🤗
Nice video. I’m not sure any of them will work well on my skin but the one that smells like lemons sounds nice
aww thank you! yeah, sunscreens are quite tricky, aren't they? the lemon one is deffo my favourite though and omg the smell is really amazing -- i wish more sunscreens smelt like it hehe 🤗🤗🤗
great video, thanks bbe x
thanks for watching!! i'm glad it was helpful 🥰🥰🥰
I think the Play had a higher PA rating anyway right? So better protection against UVA? Thanks for the video!
i'd need to double check the PA rating because i can't remember, but i definitely felt more protected wearing the play than the unseen. i'm glad you enjoyed the video! 🤗🤗🤗
best video ever
thanks for watching!
Good video!! ❤ Do you have to put moisturiser before the supergoop unseen sunscreen ? Thsnk you
they put it on as the last step in your skincare routine, so i would say yes to applying moisturiser first. but maybe try it without moisturiser and see which way feels better on your face. glad you enjoyed the video 🤗🤗
Nice Review 😊
thanks for watching. i hope it was helpful 🤗🤗🤗
Very Helpful! I was trying to decide on which one to get 😀
It makes me wonder if the sticky texture would be nice for under makeup? I can't decide which to buy!
ooh that's a good point. i think a stickier texture helps makeup last longer on the face, but i think it comes down to preference and what the product feels like on the face. i'm biased but i would go with the play (unless your skin gets super oily/you don't like the sweaty sunscreen look 😂😂) hope that helps 🤗🤗🤗
What moisturizer do you use?
i use the glow pot ace moisturiser and i love it!! 🤗🤗
Hi does the lemon smell go away? I prefer the smell not to be noticeable when around people
heyy! yes the smell does go away so you don't need to worry about other people smelling it 🤗🤗
The greasy part is obvious
Which do you prefer?
It is very sunny in the UK,the sun sets by 8pm..Do you think one still need sunscreen while taking an evening walk at 7pm?
Do you bother wearing your sunscreen while you are home?
i know, right? especially compared to the unseen sunscreen hahahaha. personally i prefer the play everyday lotion because it feels nicer on the skin, but i wish it wasn't as oily all the time.
yeah i'd still wear sunscreen even if it later in the day, and sometimes i top up my sunscreen if i'm going out haven't already done in the day, just because the sun is still out so the uv rays can still affect you. and as for wearing sunscreen in doors, i always wear sunscreen inside because uv rays can still come through the window (and on the off change i find myself nipping outside quickly) i hope that helped :) 🤗🤗🤗
@@byalicexo yes,very helpful
Thanks
Thank you for this review. I'm considering getting the unseen sunscreen cause my skin is oily and my problem with SPF has been looking greasy.
What music did you use for this video? I really like it
from what i've heard, the unseen sunscreen could be better suited for your skin type as it's a lot more matte.
and as for the music, it's called 'within reach' by always dreaming and it came with the editing software i was using at the time.
hope that helps 🤗🤗🤗
@@byalicexo thanks for replying, I'll see if I can find it
Also, I've ordered the sunscreen, can't wait to try.
I have very oily skin and love the supergoop play everyday.
@@mariahgina1224 thanks for sharing maya! that will be very useful to others with oily skin 🤗🤗🤗
@@Evangecoco let me know how you find it once you've tried the sunscreen! i hope it works well for you 🤗🤗🤗
The play is WAY too greasy for me I had to return it
ah nooo! that sucks. do you have dry skin too? but yeah the play is deffo very oily (especially when it's super hot like it's been here in the UK these last couple of days)
@@byalicexo yeah I have dry skin, I expected it to not be soooo greasy. Exactly it would be a no no for summer
Trust me I swear the one from tacha it’s pricy BUT SOOO WORTH IT!!!! I would pay $100 for that sunscreen I will not hesitate ever to purchase it!
oooh okay, i deffo have to try it out! i hope i can get my hands on it soon 🤗🤗🤗
You have oily skin right ?
no, my skin is normal/dry (but more on the dry side) 🤗🤗
