Reddit take
AI summary of the Reddit excerpts below — not a quote
Supergoop! is a polarizing sunscreen brand frequently discussed for its cosmetically elegant formulas that often double as makeup primers. While many users praise its unique textures and skin-tint options, others criticize the brand for its high price point and reliance on US-approved UV filters, which some enthusiasts consider inferior to international alternatives.
Pros

What redditors said (10 of 11)
supergoop was actually a great product, but I weaned off it since it was making me oilier, but it felt so nice on my skin as an spf skin tint
US dermatologists and bloggers that keep recommending US sunscreen when everywhere else in the world has better filters. Most people that care enough to watch a dermatology video or see one in person have the capability to order something online so why not tell them what the actual best products/ingredients are instead of just pushing Neutrogena and Supergoop!!
I would avoid supergoop or traditional cosmetic sunscreens.
I’m currently using Beauty of Joseon mineral tinted sunscreen and was hoping I could try combining that with Supergoop just under my eyes since I‘ve heard it’s stickier and migrates less.
I've tried a variety of sunscreens - Centella, different kinds of Supergoop, Coola, DRMTLGY, La Roche Posay. The sunscreens have ranged from watery to thick.
I've been using it for a few months now, I was using Supergoop prior. The Ordinary has a more "lotion-y" feel too it, the Supergoop was more like a primer. I liked the texture of the Supergoop better but its just too pricey
Supergoop is supposedly very good but quite expensive.
Super goop or peach and lily
I tried Supergoop but for some reason was also leaving dry flecks and broke me out a bit.
I use a Supergoop but there's an Aveeno baby mineral sunscreen that's relatively widely available and affordable (in the US) I've also used and liked.
