If there’s one thing all skin care devotees can agree on, it’s the importance of wearing sunscreen—and looking cute while at it. Fortunately, the new Supergoop Skin Tint makes that easier than ever. This comes as no surprise, though: Supergoop is kind of the cool-girl SPF pioneer. Having redefined the sunscreen as not just just a requirement, SPF is now something you want to wear daily.
Also of note? Supergoop products aren’t just trendy—they’re super good, too (sorry). The Unseen Sunscreen is a top choice for acne-prone and sensitive skin, the cult-favorite Glow Screen SPF primer is a must-have for not one but both beauty editors on staff (plus, you know, everyone on TikTok), and the Every. Single. Face. Watery Lotion really is as universally appealing as advertised. All they seemed to be missing was a skin tint…until now.
Enter: Supergoop! Protec(tint) Daily SPF Tint, which checks all those mixing boxes and then some. Available in 14 shades, it’s lightweight, breathable, and offers a whopping 50 SPF. Translation? The new Supergoop Skin Tint works as as a daily sunscreen, makeup base, or in place of tinted moisturizer, foundation, or your regular skin tint, meaning you officially have no excuse to forego sunscreen again.
You don’t have to take just my word for it, though: Nine Glamour editors put the Supergoop! Protec(tint) Daily SPF Tint to the (road) test and wore it everywhere from sunny outdoor hikes to 85-degree black-tie weddings. These are our honest—and unfiltered—reviews.

As someone with supremely oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin. I’ve been a Supergoop Stan since day one, since they make some of the only face SPF that doesn’t break me out or make it look like I’ve been bathing in chicken grease. At first, I was an Unseen Sunscreen devotee as primer, then I fell (and am still) in love with Glow Screen as both a makeup primer and on its own. But I’m not getting any younger, the sun’s not getting any dimmer, and I just wanted a teensy tiny bit more coverage—and higher SPF—so I had one MVP (most valuable product) to wear as a base with my everyday glam.
Apparently, Supergoop heard my inner-most thoughts and prayers, because less than a week after having that realization, they sent me my very own Supergoop! Protec(tint) Daily SPF Tint to try. To me, this is the perfect skin product for everyday wear, rain or shine (especially shine): It has 50 SPF (we! love! sun protection!) and gives just enough coverage to blur imperfections and brighten the complexion without feeling thick, heavy, sticky, or like it’s clogging your pores. It actually reminds me a lot of Glossier’s cult-favorite skin tint in terms of how lightweight and sensitive-skin friendly it is, but with much more buildable coverage and obviously, built-in SPF. Wear it on a hike or a black-tie wedding (I’ve done both; it didn’t budge either time). Sun protection is always in vogue!
TL;DR? In interviews, I always ask celebrities: If you could only bring one beauty product to a desert island, which one would it be? Well, this one’s mine.

I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting much from the Protec(tint) coverage-wise, but I was impressed by how pigmented the formula is. It felt a little too sunscreen-y on my skin—which, duh, it has SPF 50—but if we’re gonna call it a skin tint, it has to feel like a skin tint. This felt like straight up sunscreen on my face, which is probably great for a beach day, but not something I’d prefer to use for everyday. That being said, you’ll definitely see me putting this on during the summer, when I want to look cute in my bikini. My shade, 30W Medium golden, was a pretty accurate match for my skin tone and wore well throughout the day.

I wish the Protec(tint) had more coverage for everyday look, but it’s perfect for light coverage on the beach or for an active lifestyle. I also like that it looks and feels like a skin tint. I have a normal skin type, but I do have hyperpigmentation and acne scarring, so it’s important for me to have a product that provides a good base for further makeup application. It layers well with my usual concealers, highlighter, bronzer, and blush products, and wears well throughout the day.
This skin tint works well with my trusted products—I pair it with my Too Faced Born This Way to brighten and Fenty Beauty Hydrating Concealer to color correct—which makes it easy for it to join my daily routine. It also doesn’t doesn’t feel oily and is a good color match. I definitely recommend it!

My skin has been through it in the last few years as I’ve tried to get my hormonal acne under control, so I have a lot of dark, purplish scars on my cheeks and jawline. This softened their appearance, but I would’ve appreciated a tad more coverage for a “one-and-done” product. I felt like I had to use quite a bit of product compared to other tints I’ve used in the past. It seems to absorb really quickly, so I needed a full nickel/quarter-size dollop of product to cover my whole face. The overall finish was really nice, though! A little dewy, without any greasy, sunscreen-y shine. The product stayed well throughout the day. It was a good base for my concealer, and the shade worked well for my skin, which has yellow undertones.
If I’m being honest, this product isn’t for me. I’d rather use a sheer sunscreen, followed by a tint, then follow this up with mountains of concealer. If a friend was looking for a combination sunscreen/tint, though, I’d recommend this and make sure they understand that the product will go pretty quickly given how much you have to use at once.

This year I’m really trying to wear less foundation, but most tinted moisturizers and sunscreens don’t provide enough coverage for my problem areas. I love this new tinted SPF because it’s the closest I’ve found to match my skin tone thus far. Unlike many sunscreens, this doesn’t have a greasy finish, so I can wear it all day without any discomfort. If necessary, I’ll top it off with concealer and setting powder.

As someone with oily, acne-prone skin, I tend to steer clear of heavy foundations. Skin tints are my go-to, and I think I’ve just found my new favorite. Initially, I was a bit hesitant about its thick formula, but once I blended it out, it was like magic. Smooth, weightless, and incredibly natural. The formula layers well without feeling heavy or sticky. I wore it all day and was still happy with the coverage by the end of the day. One thing to note: while it gives a slight dewy glow, it might be a bit much for oily skin types. Personally, I didn’t mind a bit of blotting here and there since I love a radiant finish.
Among Supergoop products, this one takes the cake for me. It’s lightweight, lasts long, and gives that dewy look I love. Consider me obsessed! By the way, I used the color 22w, and it beautifully complements my light skin with warm undertones.

Okay, so I’m not the biggest Supergoop! fan. Their sunscreens always feel a little heavy on my combination, oily skin or I have to rub forever to get rid of any white cast. But, at last, this SPF tint is one that I can get behind. It glides on smoothly, doesn’t add shine, and feels very light—all ideal when you’re rushing in the morning or need to layer in makeup. The (26W) hue blends seamlessly on my skin tone and the high SPF 50 make it a winner on my book. As someone who’s constantly testing new sunscreens, I’m seriously impressed with the formula. The only downside is that it is very light, like too light. I have to apply more than the recommended two finger amount on my face, which makes me think this small bottle is going to go by quick.

As a connoisseur of skin tints (I hate wearing foundation) I was eager to try one from Supergoop. I was honestly shocked by how much I love one from a sunscreen company. Supergoop’s provides my ideal trifecta: coverage but not too much, no orange hands (key), and a little hint of dewy glow. The fact that it’s actually a legit sunscreen is icing on the cake.
