Lam adds that its use of red algae extract contributes to this protection.

As if that isn’t enough, Triple Prep also creates an even canvas for makeup program.

It has a mattifying effect, which Lam attributes to ingredients calcium aluminum borosilicate and polymethylsilsesquioxane.

How I Tested It

Aside fromfragrance-free body lotionandhand sanitizer, sunscreen is my favorite skin-care product.

(Oh, my God, I’m so boring.)

I go through tubes of it like I go through water.

Some of that sensorial transformation would be lost if squeezing from a traditional tube."

Triple Prep blended easily into my skin and dried down fast before makeup app.

Did this deter me from using Triple Prep?

“Supergoop has done it again!

To ease the minds of my fellow melanated people: There is no white cast.

That’s why I yelled ‘Gimme!’

when I was presented this multitasking Supergroup product.

That, and the fact that Supergoop’s comfortable formulas always blend seamlessly into my medium-tan skin.

My morning lineup consisted of cleansing, prescription tretinoin, moisturizer, and SPF.

I swapped Triple Prep in for the latter two steps.

When the formula dries down, it has a silky finish that isn’t sticky or greasy.

Instead, it looks radiant, enough that I find I skip my skin tint more and more.”

“Compared with other sunscreens I’ve used, this one blends in really easily.

It dries down rather quickly but stays super dewy, which I like like my cheekbones are blinding.

My only gripe is that the packaging could be easier to open.
