“What it does This super lightweight, ultra-moisturizing formula provides high-performance protection from UVA, UVB, and IRA rays and defends skin from photoaging and dehydration.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, thermus thermophillus ferment.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol

I wish I could like this sunscreen but it makes me break out even if I double cleanse at night. I’ll continue to use it on my hands and arms til I run out, but I need a less comedogenic option for my face.

Product summary
We believe that "Supergoop! - Everyday Sunscreen For Face & Body Broad Spectrum SPF 50 PA ++++" can provide reliable sun protection based on the ingredients listed. We love that it can protect from both UVA and UVB rays (not all sunscreens with SPF ratings give UVA protection. UVA rays do not cause sunburn, but still damage our skin and lead to early aging).
Its formula is also hydrating, so you might not need an additional moistruizer during the day. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product helps prevent early signs of aging.
