Who buys it, and why
Face sunscreen refers to sunscreens made for daily use on the face, lighter than body sunscreen and often tinted, mineral, matte or designed to sit under makeup, sold by brands such as Supergoop, La Roche-Posay, EltaMD and Korean and Japanese labels. People search it to find formulas without white cast, pilling or breakouts and to compare SPF and filters. In practice buyers are skincare users of all ages applying it every day. Interest is high and year-round, boosted by Asian sunscreens on TikTok. It is a large repeat-purchase category with room for niche formulas.
