- Q
Does this mineral mattescreen work well for dry skin?
- Asked by MamaBear
- Official Answer By Supergoop! - Brand EngageHi there, Mattescreen was created as a daily sunscreen option for those with normal to oily skin, and recommended even for sensitive skin. Dry, dehydrated skin always needs some extra love and that is why we have our first-ever, all-in-one, high-potency vitamin C + SPF 40 hybrid serum that has a unique 14% brightening cocktail that boosts the skin luminosity for a more radiant, even skin tone. Daily Dose Vitamin C + SPF 40 is a lightweight formula that leaves your skin feeling dewy and glowing and is the perfect recipe for dry, dull skin. Your dry skin will feel completely renewed & supple! ✨ Follow it with our Superscreen Daily Moisturizer! It is truly the gift that keeps on giving! 💛 This hydrating moisturizer and SPF you’ve been looking for. The texture resembles a whipped, silky cream that seeps quickly into skin, infusing it with intense moisture, thanks to a formula that contains blue-green algae, which contains naturally-occurring moisturizing properties. We also recommend our best-selling Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40! It works particularly well for dry skin because it’s not drying. Instead of leaving a matte finish like many traditional primers, Unseen leaves a natural, slightly glowy finish that also acts as a hydration barrier…meaning it locks your moisturizer in, while also gripping onto the makeup that you apply directly after.Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
Is Mattescreen safe for eczema-prone skin? After using it two or three times within about five days, I had a bad flare-up around my mouth. Mattescreen was the only thing I was doing differently during that time, so it's a suspect in whatever is causing this flare-up.

Instant New Favorite
Bought this when it was half off to try it out. I'm a sunscreen nut, since I'm white as sin and skin cancer runs in the family, and it's a new favorite for all of us (especially since our all time top fave, the La Roche Posay unscented sunscreen with ecamsule, isn't really sold in the US). I love th...

Buy Unseen Sunscreen instead!
I had already used/loved Unseen, so I thought I'd order Matte Screen and Glow Screen as well. The Glow Screen wasn't for me and my acne textured cheeks, but I had high hopes for Matte Screen. Shook it well, the texture was nice in my hand, and I liked the neutral tint as I've found that other ti...

Love it
Works great all day. Not irritating and doesnt feel gross on my skin like regular sunscreen
Doesn't feel like sunscreen
I hate sunscren and my skin is very sensitive. I can actually tolerate this daily and its strong enough for being outside all day
Everyday Go To
I've been using supergoop's mattescreen for years now and it's one of the only products i buy consistently time and time again. I have dehydrated acne prone skin, meaning it's dry but also super oily which is SO annoying. This product is the only thing ive found that makes my skin look normal all day and doesn't break my out. The formula used to dry me out in the winter but whatever change they made in recent years is absolutely perfect. Please never change it!
Horrible reaction
I used this once and the next day my face was bright red and swollen. I have never had a reaction to any product like that. I
Poor texture, leaves white cast
Bought this on sale for half the price. And I wont buy it again. Although it didnt make me break out immediately, it definitely clogged my pores leaving my forehead and cheeks with tiny bumps. And this is after i double cleanse. It also leaves a white cast and it doesn't even fade. Bought this thinking this would be good too, considering The Unseen was just amazing. And the texture is supposedly airy but it smells like dust or old foundation and just does not sit well even on moisturized skin for me.
