What the gurus are saying

A matte finish with no white cast or chalky look is the detail that keeps coming up. Reviewers describe a light feel that disappears once applied, and many say it keeps shine in check and can even make makeup sit more matte on top. However, those with very dry skin, or anyone who needs water resistance for swimming or sweaty sports, may find it isn't the right fit.

The Current Strongest Sunscreens I'm Using 😎🌞 Best SPF's for Protection & Anti-Aging

"I love that they did this. I wish every brand would do this. They've got four different sunscreen filters: Avobenzone, Octinoxate, Tinosorb S, and Enzacamene, which is a chemical UVB filter. And then other beneficial ingredients, we've got vitamin E. It's a pretty short ingredient list, but I'm really loving this stuff."

Geek & Gorgeous New! 🆕😎 101 Zero Feel SPF 50 Day Cream Sunscreen First Impressions Review

"We've got vitamin E, which is a great antioxidant. And then we've also got carnauba wax, which is a great emollient. Once this soaks in, it feels like silk on my skin, actually. Not tacky at all. Feels really nice. [...] For acne prone skin we've got a few ingredients of note: demethicone, carnauba wax can be somewhat comedogenic, we've got cetearyl alcohol which is a fatty alcohol, and then carbomer. Nothing hugely concerning for acne prone skin."

New K-Beauty Skincare First Impressions 🆕 New Serums, Moisturizers, Eye Creams, & Sunscreens

"I'm loving the Geek and Gorgeous sunscreen. [...] It feels like a nice sunscreen that's easy to apply liberally. [...] We've got all the good chemical filters in here. We've got vitamin E, we've got ectoine, sodium hyaluronate, we've got the PDRN in here, which is great. [...] There are studies showing it's great for wound healing and skin soothing and anti-inflammatory. [...] If you do lasers or microneedling or peels, I think PDRN is a great product ingredient."

"I've got Tinosurb S, great UVA UVB filter. [...] It feels really nice. I used it all day yesterday when I was outside doing my gardening. And it just feels great. [...] It doesn't look greasy or anything. I love it. I can't say enough good things about it so far."

"You can get that next level protection without having to worry about irritation, prickling, watery eyes. It's just amazing. It's also dead matte, which I love. If you're somebody that wants matte, you don't want any dewiness, you don't want any gloss to the skin, you want a sunscreen that is dead matte, this is the closest to zero like shine you will ever ever get. Stunning."

THE PERFECT SUNSCREEN 2026 - And The Winner Is..

"Little game changer and has made such a difference to my skincare routine on those super oily days. The reason I love this is it's matte, but not dead pan matte. You know, where sometimes we can wear a sunscreen and it almost appears chalky on the skin. Not at all. This is just a nice natural skin finish with oil under control, not peeking through even after a little bit of wear and just boosting your skin confidence. It feels beautiful. It doesn't clog the pores."

"This is the Geek and Gorgeous Zero Feel SPF 50. Again, new generation filters. This delivers a beautiful matte finish on the skin. [...] They've disclosed their PPD rating, which is well in excess of 19, meaning this is truly broad spectrum. I love this so much. [...] Both of these broad spectrum sunscreens don't break the bank, super affordable, and they just work. Choose the one that most aligns to the finish that you want on the skin and your protection game is on point."

GREATEST NEW SKINCARE 2026 - 10/10 Skincare Favorites

"This is the first truly matte sunscreen that doesn't make you look chalky and ashy, but also genuinely is matte. It just takes away any shine, it controls some of the oil levels in the skin and leaves you behind a beautiful invisible finish. Super lightweight. You won't feel this on the skin. It's in the name, zero feel. [...] Using new generation filters, so you're getting that broadspectrum protection. [...] Geek & Gorgeous have always been one of my favorite skincare brands."

New Viral $13 SUNSCREEN Changes Everything - Geek & Gorgeous Zero Feel SPF 50

"Honestly, 10 out of 10, no notes. And what I think is really rare and great to see is that Geek and Gorgeous have [...] released all their data, all their testing, the SPF values of the product, and most importantly, the UVA protection values, too. All there front and center. As consumers, we can make an informed choice and know what we're buying. This is really rare. Very few brands actually do this."

"I did also try the new Geek and Gorgeous sunscreen, which isn't out for quite a bit of time. Which honestly is amazing. I would have thought it would be because I love everything that brand creates. It's amazing. It's also half the price of the ordinary one. So, I love a bargain."

Breaking News - SUNSCREEN JUST CHANGED FOREVER - Long Wear Sunscreen 2026

"You get four hours of wear on it under standard conditions, though they're still testing to see if it can withstand longer application windows and should release that data soon. It gives a nice matte finish, [...] hydrating but you don't know it's there, truly the first creamy but matte finish I've ever found in a sunscreen. Geek and Gorgeous do so much right, and this is probably one of my favorite products from one of my favorite skincare brands."

"It has a PA++++ rating, which means it's the highest UVA protection. This is the first sunscreen I've ever tried that I could put on my face and not have to do anything else, [...] just go about my day without looking weird. With every other sunscreen I've tried it's either a white cast, the tint doesn't match me, it's super shiny, it makes my pores look huge, it feels super greasy, I need to powder it or put makeup over it."

"It's an SPF 50 sunscreen with no white cast and a matte finish. [...] It's one of the first sunscreens I've ever tried where I didn't have to put some kind of makeup or powder on over it to take down the shine, reduce the look of the white cast, or make it look more normal on my skin. [...] So this is an amazing sunscreen, I highly, highly recommend it."

"For days when I'm just commuting by bike and spending the day indoors, I reach for more lightweight sunscreens that aren't water resistant but feel like nothing. One of the two I have on rotation is the Geek and Gorgeous Zero Feel SPF 50 plus. You can feel it when you apply it, but then it just disappears, you don't feel anything, and it has a very natural finish."

Geek & Gorgeous Zero Feel Review: The Best Sunscreen for People Who Hate Sunscreen? | Doctor Anne

"If you're normal to oily, if you prefer your skin to be more matte, like in a natural matte, and you want a good protection with something that you really don't feel, this is as good as it gets right now. I can see myself reaching for the zero feel in the summer quite a lot. But if you are really dry and don't want to slather yourself with a very rich moisturizer or if you need something that survives swimming or sweaty outdoor sports, this might not be the one for you."

"The Zero Feel Daily Mattifying Day Cream is fourteen dollars and ninety cents for two point five fluid ounces, which is an amazing price for a mattifying moisturizer. [...] I still cannot get over the size, the price, and the lack of alcohol and fragrance in it. It is such a non-irritating, sensitive skin friendly day cream here in the US."

"It dries down super matte, I think it is probably the most mattifying sunscreen I have ever tried. It [...] made my skin less shiny than it ever naturally is, and [...] I didn't notice much shine returning for a full day, which is pretty impressive even in winter. It also makes the makeup I put on top more matte as well. [...] There's no eye sting for me and no peeling issues."
