Skincare lovers have been raving about one of Glossier’s latest products that not only protects your skin from UVA and UVB rays with its factor 50 SPF but has been praised for having similar properties to a makeup primer. The new Glossier Invisible Shield SPF50, £32, claims to be both lightweight and undetectable – and it’s had the seal of approval for not being heavy, greasy, nor does it leave a white cast. Plus, the clear, gel-like formula primes the skin for a smooth makeup application, which is a two-in-one detail skincare buffs have gone wild for.
Free from pilling, the non-comedogenic, protective and breathable sunscreen is packed with chemical sun filters, rice phyto-compounds and aloe leaf juice, to name a few. It launched in mid-April with Glossier sharing a picture that was captioned: “At Glossier HQ, we’re more aware than ever that daily SPF is a nonnegotiable (we see you blue light, pollution, UVA & UVB ) Which got us thinking: could Invisible Shield be more? More product? Higher SPF? Added benefits?”

“The answer: Yes. Today, we’re excited to introduce you to Invisible Shield SPF 50, a completely invisible broad spectrum chemical sunscreen that protects your skin against UVA/UVB rays with a soft, skin-perfecting finish, priming skin to play well with makeup, so you no longer have an excuse to skip in your daily routine. “Invisible Shield SPF 50, *the* sunscreen for people who hate wearing sunscreen, is now available at Glossier.com or in a Glossier store near you. Have safe sun.”
What’s more is that makeup fans will love the scent-free formula that has been hailed for preventing your eyes from stinging after application – as is often the case with sunscreen. Another benefit of this SPF is that it has been proven to allow skin to breathe and is long0lasting with 97% of shoppers saying their pores and skin imperfections remained ‘blurred’ after eight hours.

It’s no wonder the £32 suncare product has received over 1,000 glowing reviews from shoppers, with one saying: “Lightweight and great under makeup. Love love love this sunscreen- it’s such a nice, lightweight formula. I have very dry skin so haven’t found it too oily, and hasn’t pilled under makeup for me (I mainly use only stretch concealer). It feels so nice on the skin and I’m so happy it finally came out in spf50 🙂 highly recommend.”
Another added: “So nice to use. Really love this product.”
One beauty influencer on TikTok, Bambi Does Beauty, also remarked: “New Invisible shield, SPF50. First thing I’ve noticed is it’s got no fragrance. The make-up girls are gonna love this, I just know, cause it feels like a primer – [it’s] given a blur, soft focus. I’ve also rubbed it in within an inch of its life and it has passed the no pill test.”
She added: “Glossier, you [have] lied to yourself because this is not just an SPF50, this to me feels like a make-up primer, a skin blurrer, it just makes your skin look soft-focus.” She commented on how it had even improved the appearance of a ‘beastie’ blemish she had.
Now, with all products, what works for one – or a handful in this case – won’t work for the next person and some people have unfortunately experienced ‘terrible pilling’ under make-up. They reflected: “Wanted to love this as it has a lovely light texture and looks good when first applied. But whenever I apply any sort of make up on top (even after leaving it for loooong periods to sink into skin) I get terrible pilling and it totally ruins my make up every single time.” That being said, they said they would leave this product for makeup free days.
If the Glossier Invisible Fluid SPF 50 isn’t quite your bag and you’d rather a more creamy texture, La Roche-Posay’s UVMUNE Anthelios Ultra-Light Fluid is lightweight, watery and doesn’t leave a white cast – nor does it pill under make-up. Get it here for £16 from Boots. Another popular sunscreen is Skin+Me’s Daily Defence Oil-Free SPF50 sunscreen, which contains next generation sunscreen filters, as well as skincare heroes like niacinamide and vitamin E, costing £19.99.
