“I love gossamer, expecially in combination with tinted sunscreen. It is amazing for sensitive skin. The only thing that bothers me is unpractical packaging.”
“It’s light, easy to apply, my sensitive skin doesn’t reach to it, buuuut leaves a MASSIVE white cast. I’m fair-ish skin so I can’t imagine any other skin tone being able to use this.”
“Essentially , if you definitely do want to be using a physical/mineral only sunscreen formulation then this one probably ticks more of the boxes than most others, most importantly, it doesn't do my skin any harm and I trust this brand to genuinely work to that important principle.
The pros are it's an effective sunscreen (main objective, right?), it's a lot less clogging than other brands I've tried, it's free from unnecessary ingredients and fragrance, it's reasonably light and I haven't had problems with it leaving a white residue as many others do.
However, there really are still significant cons - but I think probably the technology just doesn't exist (yet?) for a mineral sunscreen not to come with at least some of these; there's no combination of moisturiser, make up, and this sunscreen that I can find that doesn't end up with pretty bad pilling, even if I play with the application timings. The product gets trapped in the eyebrows and hairline, which isn't a great look. I have sensitive combination skin, and it feels both too heavy on application, and then pretty drying overall with daily use - my skin copes with it rather than likes it. The pump will get blocked with air pockets and can be a pain to get the product out (usually when you're short on time!). Overall the price feels not cheap for something you don't love to use.
In spite of the cons, I am continuing to choose this product (along with others in the range which I genuinely do love) while I need a mineral sunscreen, as I think it's still a good one relative to others available!”
“Loved it! Early days but so far so good. I’ve extremely sensitive skin and have had lifelong struggle to find a non irritating sun screen. The couple I’ve had success with do leave a white cast so it’s very exciting to find one that doesn’t, thank you!”
“Great sunscreen, absorbs quickly and doesn't make my face look white. Can look shiny initially but after 15 mins or so looks great on the skin! Love that it uses mineral filters too.”
“I am extremely pleased with both my Brightly Serum and Gossamer Flawless
Both products work very well on my ultra sensitive skin and make up is easily applied after use”
“Have been using this product for a week now and love it. Absorbs quickly, not sticky. I have even used on my son as he usually hates having sunscreen applied on his face - but is ok with this. I will definitely buy again. Would like to try the tinted but not sure which colour to try, would be nice to have sample to try.”
