Who leads each category
The like-for-like view — where each brand competes, and who ranks higher in every field they share. The comparison only makes sense where they actually overlap.?
Head-to-head, category by category
The same two brands look completely different depending on what you’re buying. Pick a category to see who ranks higher on that shelf and the buyer questions where they go head-to-head.?

In plain terms: Devoted Creations is known for accessible, Supergoop! for invisible finish.
What critics say
Summarised from video reviews across each brand’s line — what they consistently praise, where they push back, with the press tone beneath.?
Reviewers praise
- Chemical sunscreens blend invisibly without white cast across skin tones, with formulations that feel silky and primer-like rather than heavy or greasy
- The Unseen formula sets the category standard for transparent texture and mattifying finish, functioning as both sun protection and makeup base
- Blue light protection appears in select products with added ingredients like iron oxide and cocoa peptides, addressing indoor screen exposure
Reviewers push back
- Mineral sunscreen advocates argue chemical filters cannot provide the physical barrier needed for melasma and hormonal darkening, regardless of formulation elegance
- Some formulations pill when layered over other products or reapplied, creating visible clumping that ruins the invisible benefit
- Glow and shimmer products skew heavily dewy, which overwhelms oily skin types despite mattifying claims on other products in the line
Supergoop earns praise for elegant chemical-filter formulations that disappear on skin, though reviewers consistently note that mineral alternatives outperform for serious pigmentation concerns and the line divides between cosmetic elegance and protection needs.
On Supergoop!: Dermatologist reviewers split on whether chemical or mineral sunscreen offers superior protection, with some prioritizing elegance and others prioritizing pigment preventionThe Glowscreen divides users—some love the luminous tint and find it wearable, while others find the shine excessive and unflattering on already oily skinOpinions differ on whether the matte formulas truly mattify or simply start less shiny before breaking down to an oily finish through the day
Supergoop! receives predominantly positive coverage focused on product recommendations and sales, with founder Holly Thaggard's new ventures noted separately.
Can you trust their marketing
Honesty is a brand-character trait — it doesn’t matter which category a brand overstates a claim in, only whether its claims hold up. So we check every product’s marketing against real tests across all categories, then roll it up per brand.?
Which brand do people trust more
A single trust reading per brand, built from how honest its marketing is and how the press talks about it — from skeptical to loved.?
Only Supergoop! has enough signal for a trust reading so far (82). It combines marketing honesty and press sentiment.
The verdict, both ways
Read it through both lenses: which brand to trust for the category you’re buying, and who’s the stronger maker overall. They can give different answers — and that’s the honest result.
If you already know what you’re buying, the category decides it — pick the brand that leads the shelf you’re shopping.
As makers: Devoted Creations leads 0 of 4 · Supergoop! 4.
Breadth vs focus — and the right answer depends on the shelf.
We don’t crown a winner. Globally they may both be top-tier; locally, the category can flip the answer. Pick the brand that’s strong where you’re actually shopping — when a brand doesn’t compete in a category, we leave it blank rather than invent a rank.
