Ultra Sheer Invisible Gel Face Sunscreen SPF 40 — 1.7 oz Tube
Product description
This product is a 1.7 oz tube of Ultra Sheer Invisible Gel face sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum SPF 40 protection. It is intended to help reduce the signs of sun-induced aging, prevent sunburn, and, when used along with other sun safety practices, lower the risk of skin cancer.
The gel formulation offers strong protection against both UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays. It goes on clear and is formulated to be invisible on all skin tones. The texture is water resistant for up to 80 minutes and absorbs without leaving a white cast.
Formulated for sensitive skin, the sunscreen includes antioxidant vitamin E and uses Helioplex technology to stabilize and boost daily UV protection. It provides a matte finish and can act as a makeup primer, helping powders and foundations sit smoothly on top.
This facial sunscreen is fragrance-free and maintains water resistance for up to 80 minutes. Apply generously about 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, immediately after towel-drying, or at least every two hours.
The compact travel-size tube is designed for portability and daily use. To dispense the clear gel, hold the nozzle facing down and pump. For storage, keep the cap on and set the tube standing on its cap.

Barely noticeable finish under makeup
Application is seamless — once absorbed the product is almost imperceptible. The lightweight gel leaves a soft, weightless feel with no greasy residue or white cast. It layers nicely beneath foundation.

Feels featherlight and blends instantly
This gel spreads and sinks in without leaving a white cast. It’s very lightweight on application and doesn’t feel greasy or sticky. My combination-to-oily skin stays comfortable and smooth throughout the day. A solid daily sunscreen.

Outperformed a pricier alternative for me
I used to stick with a higher-end gel but switched after trying this. It doesn’t develop the oily sheen I noticed with the other brand later in the day. It mattifies nicely for combination-to-oily skin, though drier skin types might see some texture issues unless they use a richer moisturizer first. Good value — I’ve repurchased more than once.

Dependable daily sun protection
I’ve been searching for a matte, water-resistant facial sunscreen with at least SPF 40 and this fits the bill. It applies smoothly and leaves my skin soft. My only wish is for a larger size option, otherwise it’s my go-to for daily wear.

Lightweight but can pill with some creams
The gel texture is much lighter than typical sunscreens and didn’t irritate my eyes. However, it did pill when layered over some moisturizers, so I now apply it on bare skin before runs. Not a bad product, just a little particular depending on what you pair it with.

Will purchase again
I was surprised at how well this worked for my sensitive, acne-prone oily skin. Many sunscreens sting or separate makeup, but this one settles down to a matte, soft finish that acts a bit like a primer. It has a very faint scent and performs well with powder and foundation. I’ll be buying it again.

Absorbs fast and stops shine quickly
This is my second tube and I’m really pleased. At first it feels somewhat slick, but it soaks in quickly and doesn’t leave a greasy residue like many other formulas. It performs as well as higher-priced alternatives I’ve tried and is worth trying if you want a quick-absorbing, clear gel sunscreen.
