My initial reaction aside, when I discovered the replacement sunscreen – aptly named Invisible Shield SPF50 – had a higher level of protection, I was less worried. Mostly because my only gripe with the original was that I wished it was a factor 50 rather than a 30.

Like the first iteration, Invisible Shield 2.0 is just as lightweight and feels like nothing’s there once it’s on the skin – it’s virtually undetectable thanks to the clear gel-like texture that leaves no white cast at all. Plus, the pump bottle has been replaced with a tube, meaning we can all now squeeze out every last drop with minimal effort.

Offering broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection, the formula combines rice phyto-compounds that are packed with antioxidants to protect against environmental damage, fatty acids to nourish and support the skin’s barrier and aloe leaf juice for its skin-soothing properties.

Glossier just reformulated its sunscreen and it’s more effective than ever
