So to make this video hopefully easy to follow and easy to refer back too.
Ill first start out with what kylie skin sunscreen has in common with supergoop unseen sunscreen,
then ill break down each of them into their own respective components, weigh the pros
and cons so you dont have too, and then finish it off with my final take.
And for full disclosure, no one has sent these to me and ive purchased them myself, so my
review is totally mine and i think its great to be transparent about that.
So please like the video, if you enjoy transparency.
Lets start with what they both have in common.
The first being that they are both chemical sunscreens, which means: they don’t sit
on the skin or block rays.
Instead, they absorb UV rays before your skin can soak them up, and usually chemical sunscreens
apply a lot more smoothly on the skin, which is what makes them more desirable than your
typical physical sunscreen, they are both spf 40, both of them are vegan and cruelty-free
sunscreen, there are no harsh alcohols, parabens, allergens.
Which is great for sensitive skin.
They are both safe for fungal acne as well, and both of them contain one of my favorite
ingredients, which is vitamin e, so its going to be great for brightening the skin, with
a total of 18 ingredients in them that they both share, like some of my favorites in sunscreen,
which are going to be: isododecane which doesnt leave a tacky residue like other sunscreens
do, dimethicone crosspolymers which gives you that silky glide on your face, capric
triglycerides which makes your skin feel nice and smooth, shea butter which regenerates
and soothes the skin, hohoba esters: which provide non greasy emolliency, giving you
that higher end feel in a sunscreen.
Both of these contain all these great ingredients which makes these two susncreens so comparable.
Oh and one more thing, they are both reef safe, which means there are no oxybenzones
or octinoxates which cause coral bleaching, which we all know is a problem these days.
So both of them check the list for being a decent facial sunscreen in my opnion, but
lets dive a little deeper to what makes them different and weigh the pros and cons of each.
Starting with the first one, the kylie skin facial sunscreen.
First off, when you apply it: it definitely has that gel like texture, that starts to
feel like a light oily feel , which I didn’t really like at the beginning and made me think
its going to stay on oily , but after about 15 minutes it absorbs nicely and creates a
Matt finish.
I like that it doesnt smell, nor does it leave a white cast or feels greasy.
Im not a fan of sunscreens that leave you greasy, and you dont have to worry about that
with this one.
Theres also that feeling of sunscreens that leave a heavy feeling on your face.
This one is light and airy making kylie skin sunscreen a good choice if you want a light
airy sunscreen that does the job without making your face feel heavy.
And most importantly, I had no sensitivity or breakouts with it.
There are about 3 notable ingredients out of 6 in the kylie skin face sunscreen that
you dont find in the supergoop, which is butyloctyl salicylate: which is said to increase the
spf rating of sunscreens and is cosmetically elegant, the second is DESM, which can boost
SPF by about 5 units in high-SPF products.
And KIWI seed oil which I thought was super interesting, which as some of you know is
being studied for anti aging as well proving essential skin vitamins.
Now lets dive a little deeper to the supergoop unseen facial sunscreen.
Right away when putting it on, you get that same feel of the gel and silicone-like texture,
so it does not feel oily at all in the beginning, which is a difference i noticed from the kylie
skin sunscreen, that feels oily in the beginning and dries on matte.
This one feels more refreshing and soothing right away when you put it on, and Its named
unseen for a good reason.
Its totally invisible, weightless, and has no scent.
There is no white cast either, which is a big plus for me.
And overall im very impressed by the velvety finish to it.
Being so impressed by how refreshing it feels made me wonder what ingredient in this is
what makes it feel different than kylie skins sunscreen, and to my surprise I found that
it contains, frankincense or olibanum.
Which if your skin can tolerate it, it is thought to strengthen the skin and improve
its tone, elasticity, and defense mechanisms against bacteria and of course make your skin
feel refreshed.
The second notable ingredient that makes it different than kylie skin sunscreen is that
it contains: lithothamnion calcareum extract, known as red algae.
Now why on earth would you put red algae in sunscreen?
Well, its thought to Help protect against blue light emitted by electronic devices,
like your phones, computer screens, and tablets.
So i like how they are utilizing unique ingredients, to not only protect you from the sun, but
also from potentially harmful blue light.
The third ingredient that is different is the mannitol.
Now mannitol is A type of sugar molecule, that has water-binding properties and helps
to keep your skin hydrated for longer.
And you do definitely feel that with the supergoop.
Now, no video is complete without really addressing some concerns with both products.
Because remember, this is all about transparency.
As far as both of them go, there really isnt a lot of bad things to say about them.
They both deliver what they promise.
But for nit picking sake, something to be aware of is that with chemical sunscreens
in general, not particular to kylie sunscreen or supergoop, just know if you are sensitive
to avobenzone the chemical in blocking uva rays, it can cause irritation, especially
if you have rosacea.
And the octocrylene can be an issue only if you have eczema.
In which case you might be better off using a physical sunscreen with zinc oxide or titanium
dioxide, both of which are mineral-based ingredients.
Overall both ingredients provide promising results, they absorb down to a non-greasy
finish, they are both a Clear formula that you might be looking for on the market, they
are workable for any skin tone, which makes them a great choice leaving your skin soft
and smooth.
And most importantly, they both provide a reliable broad spectrum coverage, that you
need.
But if I were to choose one, I would go with the supergoop unseen sunscreen, because it
definitely feels more refreshing on my skin, partly due to the frankincense oil that Im
a fan of and its water resistant.
I hope it gives you better insight to choose the one that works best for you.
