47 Cheaper Versions Of Expensive Products That Deserve Your Undivided Attention

47 Cheaper Versions Of Expensive Products That Deserve Your Undivided Attention

1. E.l.f. Suntouchable Invisible Sunscreen because when did sunscreen become one of the most expensive items in your skincare routine? Enter this affordable find, which offers SPF 35 *and* goes on smooth and clear without any white cast. It works well as a blurring primer to create the perf setup before applying makeup too! TLDR; it’s the more affordable version of Supergoop.
My colleague Jenae Sitzes uses it: “The packaging similarities are impossible to ignore, but that’s not where the comparisons between this E.l.f. sunscreen and Supergoop’s cult-fave product end. I’ve tried both, and I honestly prefer this E.l.f. version. Supergoop’s had a slight graininess to it that I didn’t love, while this E.l.f. sunscreen is exactly what I’d hoped Supergoop’s would feel like: totally smooth and velvety. Like Supergoop’s, it goes on totally clear and doesn’t feel like you’re wearing a mask; it sinks in immediately. And of course, a major selling point: A 1.7-ounce bottle of E.l.f. Suntouchable will cost you $14, while Supergoop’s Unseen Sunscreen in the same size will put you back $38.

Now, it’s worth noting that Supergoop’s Unseen Sunscreen has SPF 50, while E.l.f.’s product offers SPF 35. Both of these meet the American Academy of Dermatology’s recommendation of using a sunscreen with SPF 30 or more, which blocks 97% of the sun’s UVB rays. Anything over SPF 30 offers only slightly more protection (and nothing can block 100% of the sun’s rays), yet the higher number, the more brands tend to charge. So do with that info what you will! This isn’t the only SPF I use, but I love having it in my arsenal, especially when I do want to layer makeup on top!”

Promising review: “This sunscreen is a gem. I was not expecting to love it as much as I do. I absolutely love E.l.f. products, but I rarely try their skincare. Something told me to try this. When I put it on, it gave a smooth silicone finish and feel. I was faithful to Supergoop but didn’t want to spend as much as the product is listed for. I will continue to use this sunscreen; it has been one of the best I’ve ever tried. I’ve been into skincare since I was 15; I am 37, and for me to say that this product is a gold mine is rare.” —Angelina S.

Get it from Amazon for $13.18 (available in two sizes).
