WHAT THE PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY
But don’t just take it from the product website, those who have tired it first-hand have equal praise to give.
The website apartment therapy tried the sunscreen out, and also spoke to those who had used it.
Speaking to someone who had already used it, the website reads: “Feels greasy but isn’t at all. Dries within like 2 minutes.
“I can reapply through the day during the summer and it doesn’t feel dirty and gross to do on top of a sweaty face.”
And this positivity was echoed by Dr. Muneeb Shah, a dermatologist and founder and CEO of DermCollective.
He added: “They are definitely similar but certainly not the same. I think the Trader Joe’s one is more dewy personally and the Supergoop more mattifying.
“I don’t find it particularly greasy but it’s also not mattifying.
“People with oily skin tend to like products with more of a mattifying effect that can absorb oil throughout the day.
How does sunscreen prevent aging?
Dr. Michael Aziz, an internist and the author of the upcoming book The Ageless Revolution, revealed five habits of young-looking people.
“Sunscreen protects your skin by acting as a barrier against harmful UV rays,” Dr. Aziz told The U.S. Sun.
“There are two main types of sunscreen ingredients: mineral and chemical.
“Mineral ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide form a physical shield, reflecting UV light away from the skin.
“Without SPF protection, your skin may develop uneven pigmentation in an effort to shield itself from the sun’s rays, leading to potential sun damage such as sunspots and premature aging.
“Using sunscreen is essential to prevent this and maintain healthy skin.”
“I personally like a more ‘dewy’ look but there are better sunscreens in that category as well.”
Fellow dermatologist Dr. Luke Maxfield dubs the Trader Joe’s sunscreen “one of the best if not the best dupe I’ve ever seen.”
Dewy sunscreen refers to a product made for those with normal to dry skin.
Mattifying sunscreen is designed to keep skin looking matte and shine-free.
As far as dupes go, the Trader Joe’s sunscreen has the recommendations in its favor, and also its price.
You could buy three bottles of it for the price of a standard Supergoop bottle, which usually retails at $38.
