What the gurus are saying

This mineral sunscreen's most distinctive feature is its mattifying finish. Some experts highlight how effectively it primes and blurs skin, while others find it too matte for their needs. It appeals to those with oily or sensitive skin, especially people with rosacea, thanks to iron oxides that shield against visible light and a formula designed not to clog pores, though you may want bronzer in summer if you prefer more depth.

"Supergoop, their Mattescreen, they came out with different shades, so that's great because not one shade fits all skin tones, and so I use the sunrise, but they also have golden hour and sunset. If you want to blur out the pores, you want a matte finish and you have oilier skin, go for the Mattescreen. So good job to Supergoop for that."

The Best Tinted Sunscreens of 2026
"Best matte or primer-like finish, something that will blur your pores, great matte finish if you have oily skin, would have to be Supergoop's Mattescreen. They revamped it, so it now has different shades. I use the sunrise shade, which is similar to their original tint, but they have darker shades too. It's great even if you have dry, flaky skin and want to hide the flakes on your face."

"It has the iron oxide, so it's going to do a really good job protecting from that visible light and blue light. It is non-comedogenic. What I like about it is that it's pure mineral sunscreen. For those with rosacea, it will be a little bit easier on that super sensitive skin. [...] This one's going to be very mattifying, a little bit more blurring, better for a little bit lighter skin types or those who are really oily and want something that is more mattifying or as a makeup primer."
✓Mixed
"The cast on this is not bad at all, especially when you compare it to the CeraVe one, and it is slightly tinted which makes it a lot easier to blend into the skin. However, you might find that it's a little too matte for me, and you might find that during more parts of the year than others, like in the summer time you might be like, ah this is all right, but in the winter time you might be like, damn I look like a keeper."
✓Yay
"This has both zinc oxide and titanium dioxide in it. If you prefer a mattified finish, more like a blur with less noticeable pores, this is going to be your best option. It is a bit more pigmented and will be a little bit more difficult to match as wide of a variety of skin tones as the Zinc Screen will. This is oil-free and it will be a great option for oily skin types if you want shine control."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.
