Let’s be real: daily sunscreen is one of the most important steps in your skin care routine — but it’s rarely the most fun. Some leave you looking like a ghost, others feel sticky or chalky, and a few smell like you just walked out of a middle school locker room. But what if your SPF could actually make your skin look better?
Enter Tula Skincare Protect + Glow SPF 30 gel sunscreen, the Target best-seller that protects your skin and promised to deliver a subtle, dewy glow that feels like summer in a bottle. Lightweight, breathable, and skin-enhancing, it’s designed to be a sunscreen you’ll actually want to wear — every single day.
This broad-spectrum SPF 30 protects against UVA, UVB, and blue light while ingredients like pineapple, papaya, and probiotics work behind the scenes to brighten skin and improve texture. (Co-founder and gastroenterologist Dr. Roshini Raj launched the brand based on the “topical benefits of probiotic extracts,” according to a 2022 profile in Forbes.)
It’s designed to layer seamlessly under makeup (or worn on its own), with a glow-boosting finish that’s more “vacation radiance” than “midday shine.” According to customer testimonial, the soft, luminous glow that looks healthy and hydrated – numerous reviews that describe it as “subtle,” “natural” and “amazing”; even comparable to the results from “an expensive facial.” Think: lit-from-within, not overly dewy. It seems like it can give skin the kind of fresh-faced look that makes people ask what highlighter you’re wearing — except it’s just your sunscreen.
It’s also reef-safe, non-comedogenic, and cruelty-free, with no parabens or harsh chemicals.
One Target reviewer from Arizona wrote, “I’m on my third tube — it’s my favorite sunscreen. I love the sheen it gives because it instantly brightens my face with a nice glow. I wear it without makeup because the finish is so beautiful. This has helped prevent sunburn for most of the year.”
Another shared, “This is by far my favorite face sunscreen. It gives you a great glowy look without looking greasy, and it doesn’t clog my pores or cause breakouts.”
Many shoppers call it their “holy grail” for everyday sun protection — with the added bonus of glowing, healthy-looking skin.
If you’re ready to break up with heavy, pasty sunscreens and try one that actually feels good on your skin, this popular option seems like a worthy investment. It could end up being one of those products you’ll find yourself using year-round — because great skin doesn’t stop with summer.
