In the year\u00a02026,\u00a0it\u2019s becoming increasingly difficult to justify not wearing sunscreen every day.\u00a0The\u00a0risks and hazards\u00a0of UV damage<\/a> are\u00a0well-documented<\/a>, and\u00a0sunscreens\u00a0at every price point<\/a>\u00a0have flooded the shelves of drugstores and prestige boutiques alike.\u00a0Yet\u00a0folks\u00a0are still struggling to find the right formula that\u00a0won\u2019t\u00a0cause\u00a0breakouts<\/a>.\u00a0Well, to finally put the issue to rest is none other than Sofie Pavitt<\/a>, licensed\u00a0esthetician (and unlicensed\u00a0acne whisperer<\/a>) whose namesake brand<\/a> is unveiling\u00a0perhaps its\u00a0most\u00a0highly-requested\u00a0product to date:\u00a0Sunscreen.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019m\u00a0a big fan\u00a0of Pavitt, and as someone who has had acne for decades,\u00a0I can attest that her line is among my favorites for keeping my complexion clear.\u00a0The\u00a0Mandelic Clearing Serum<\/a>\u00a0is\u00a0a holy grail of mine\u00a0since\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0gentle enough for everyday use;\u00a0the 8%\u00a0mandelic\u00a0acid\u00a0works wonders\u00a0to exfoliate and\u00a0prevent breakouts from forming.\u00a0But back to Screentime\u00a0\u2014 ahead, read my review of\u00a0the latest addition to Sofie Pavitt Face\u2019s lineup.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

What\u00a0is\u00a0Screentime and what are the benefits?\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Screentime is Sofie Pavitt Face\u2019s first\u00a0sunscreen, and\u00a0combines hydrating\u00a0benefits with broad-spectrum (UVA\u00a0and UVB)\u00a0SPF 30 protection.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0formulated with\u00a0ectoin<\/a>\u00a0(an amino acid derivative\u00a0that\u00a0hydrates and\u00a0supports the skin barrier),\u00a0niacinamide\u00a0to reduce inflammation<\/a> and excess oil, and vitamin E to nourish\u00a0and soothe skin.\u00a0In other words, Screentime\u2019s benefits extend past sun protection to actually hydrating skin in both the short- and long-term.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

What makes\u00a0Screentime Non-Comedogenic Hydrating Sunscreen\u00a0special?\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n

For me,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0all in the texture; like Pavitt\u2019s\u00a0Beauty Innovator Award-winning moisturizer<\/a>,\u00a0Screentime is silky,\u00a0hydrating, and luxurious. (It really puts the \u201celegant\u201d in \u201ccosmetically elegant,\u201d \u2014\u00a0industry\u00a0speak\u00a0for a sophisticated, innovative\u00a0formula.)\u00a0A lot of \u201cacne-safe\u201d\u00a0sunscreens lean heavily into fluid-thin, dry-touch textures with a matte\u00a0finish,\u00a0most of which\u00a0aren\u2019t\u00a0enough to quench my\u00a0skin or\u00a0leave it feeling rough to the touch.\u00a0The moisturizing nature of Screentime, however, is what makes it really unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another thing that stood out to me right away was how well Screentime absorbed into my skin. It\u2019s not a mineral formula,\u00a0which came as a bit of a surprise, since I\u2019ve found that physical sunscreens that have zinc or titanium oxide as an active ingredient tend to be better tolerated by my oily and acne-prone\u00a0skin. Rather, it\u2019s a chemical one, using avobenzone,\u00a0homosalate, and\u00a0octisalate\u00a0as UV filters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chemical sunscreens tend to get a bad rap\u00a0despite being FDA-approved, but\u00a0they have several redeeming qualities that\u00a0shouldn\u2019t\u00a0be overlooked.\u00a0Chemical\u00a0sunscreens promise an\u00a0invisible, cast-free finish<\/a>,\u00a0making it a popular choice for darker skin tones.\u00a0Secondly, they typically feel lighter on the skin, which is great news for acne-prone skin types that tend to get oily quickly.\u00a0(This also makes chemical SPF ideal for wearing under\u00a0makeup.)<\/p>\n

What to know about\u00a0Screentime Non-Comedogenic Hydrating Sunscreen:\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n

\u2022 Provides broad-spectrum (UVA and UVB) SPF 30 protection.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u2022 Hydrates skin and supports skin barrier with ectoin, vitamin E, and glycerin.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u2022 Is non-comedogenic, meaning it\u2019s unlikely to clog pores.<\/p>\n

How do you use\u00a0Screentime Non-Comedogenic Hydrating Sunscreen, and is it worth it?\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Sofie Pavitt (the person) suggests using this as\u00a0a final step\u00a0in your daytime skincare routine, or even in place of moisturizer if\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0especially oily.\u00a0(In my experience, my skin\u00a0doesn\u2019t\u00a0feel too greasy even\u00a0when using this on top of my day moisturizer.) I follow the\u00a0two-finger application rule<\/a>\u00a0for sunscreen\u00a0(dispensing\u00a0the\u00a0product down the full length of my index and middle finger, and applying it all\u00a0over my face, neck,\u00a0and ears). <\/p>\n

Worn alone, it leaves my skin\u00a0with a\u00a0glowy\u00a0(but not sweaty) finish.\u00a0Because of how hydrating it is, I also love how it sits under makeup; any dry patches are virtually gone, and my skin has a naturally healthy, hydrated glow that works as the perfect base for foundation and concealer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As a beauty editor with an embarrassingly large sunscreen wardrobe with options at every price point, it says a lot that I keep reaching for this one ever since I started testing it a month ago. The texture is a big reason why: even on warm, humid days, it still feels comfortable on the skin, never heavy or greasy, and it holds up surprisingly well during workouts or other sweaty situations. According to Pavitt, it can even be applied over<\/em> makeup by pressing a small amount onto the skin with a sponge or clean fingers. (This is good news, given that you should reapply your SPF roughly every two hours when outdoors.) <\/p>\n

Where can you get\u00a0Screentime Non-Comedogenic Hydrating Sunscreen?\u00a0<\/h2>\n

You can currently\u00a0shop\u00a0Screentime at Sephora and Sofie Pavitt Face\u2019s website, where it retails for $38.\u00a0However, you can enjoy a 10% discount by subscribing to the product via the brand website<\/a>; considering SPF is a true everyday essential, having it automatically restocked (and saving some cash in the process) makes staying consistent that much easier. <\/p>\n
