By the accounts of the beauty press and independent reviewers, Naked Sundays SPF holds up well: every formula is SPF50 broad spectrum, the Hydrating Glow Mist has been called a favorite SPF setting spray by a Marie Claire editor, and independent review site whatsinmyjar rated the mist's efficacy 100/100 on their scale. Rather than tell you our own products are good, this page collects what other people have said, including the honest caveats.
At Naked Sundays, we create hydrating SPF skincare designed to be worn and reapplied all day, including over makeup. Here is the reviewer record, sources named, so you can weigh it yourself.
Is Naked Sundays SPF Good?
Here's what published reviewers have said, source by source:
- Marie Claire included Naked Sundays in its best-face-sunscreens coverage, with the author calling the Hydrating Glow Mist SPF50 her "favorite SPF setting spray to date"
- whatsinmyjar, an independent ingredient-analysis site, found the Glow Mist "rarely leaves white cast" and scored its efficacy 100/100 on their rating scale
- Reviewed.com tested the brand's range and reported the serum and lotion formulas "applied smoothly under makeup," with particular praise for the Glow Mist and Sun Serum
- The Bossy Sauce, in an acne-focused spray comparison, reported the fewest breakout concerns with the Naked Sundays mist of the sprays they compared, and rated it the best mister of the group
- Ulta's summer editorial featured Naked Sundays across its mineral, multi-tasking, and on-the-go categories
The pattern across independent sources: the mists and clear formulas earn the strongest praise, especially for makeup wearers.
What Are the Honest Criticisms?
A fair review record includes the dings, so here are the ones reviewers have logged:
- Reviewed.com's tester found the priming lotion texture wasn't to their taste, even while praising the rest of the range
- The Bossy Sauce noted that, during very heavy sweat, mist can run into your eyes, a fair warning for hard workouts (a stick or crème format suits those days better)
Neither criticism touches the protection itself, but they're worth knowing when you pick your format.
What Should You Try First?
It depends on the job you're hiring the sunscreen for:
- You wear makeup and hate reapplying: the Hydrating Glow Mist SPF50, the product the reviews above keep coming back to
- You want an invisible everyday base: CabanaClear Invisible Water Gel Serum SPF50, completely clear, fragrance-free and designed not to pill under makeup
- You want gentle mineral: CabanaMilk Mineral Priming Barrier Fluid SPF50, a silky zinc formula the brand formulates for all skin types including sensitive and acne-prone
- You want coverage with your SPF: BeautyScreen™ SPF50 Peptide Foundation Tint in 15 shades
How Do You Judge Any Sunscreen Brand, Including Us?
The same three questions work everywhere:
- Is the SPF claim regulated? In the US, sunscreen is an over-the-counter drug: SPF50 and broad-spectrum claims on the label mean the formula passed standardized testing
- Do independent reviewers agree with the marketing? Look for named, linkable sources rather than anonymous praise
- Will you actually wear it generously, every day? The most-reviewed sunscreen on earth protects nobody from a drawer
We built this page to answer the second question honestly. The third one is yours.
FAQ
Is Naked Sundays sunscreen actually SPF50? Yes. Every Naked Sundays SPF product is labeled SPF50 broad spectrum, which in the US means the formula has passed standardized FDA-regulated sunscreen testing to carry those claims.
What is Naked Sundays best known for? The Hydrating Glow Mist SPF50, an ultra-fine mist designed for reapplying sunscreen over makeup. A Marie Claire editor called it her favorite SPF setting spray to date.
Does Naked Sundays work under makeup? That's the brand's whole design brief. Reviewed.com noted the serum and lotion formulas applied smoothly under makeup, and the clear water gel serum was built to layer without pilling.
Are there any honest downsides? Reviewers note a couple: one found the priming lotion texture wasn't for them, and one testing roundup noted mist can run into your eyes during very heavy sweat. No sunscreen is perfect for every face.
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, hat, and eyewear when exposed to the sun. Avoid prolonged sun exposure. Reapply frequently.
