Let’s be real here: when your skin feels oily, it’s tempting to skip out on sunscreen, even though you know the importance of wearing SPF protection under your makeup every day. But between the thick formulas and greasy textures, finding the right sunscreen for your oily skin type can be a real struggle. To make things easier, we’ve rounded up five sunscreens made especially for oily skin. Read on for the best formulas that will keep your face grease-free, and most importantly, protected.
Vichy Liftactiv Peptide-C Sunscreen SPF 30
For a sunscreen that does good things for your skin while protecting you from the sun, try the Peptide-C Sunscreen. This formula helps reduce the appearance of dark spots, dullness and fine lines and will leave your skin feeling supple and plump.
SkinCeuticals Physical Matte UV Defense SPF 50
A mattifying sunscreen is (more or less) a lifesaver to those with oily skin. This broad spectrum, 100 percent physical SPF is formulated with an oil-absorbing protective base to deliver a matte finish, even in hot and humid conditions. And it gets better — the weightless mousse texture dries to a powder finish for an even smoother makeup application.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra Light Fluid Facial Sunscreen SPF 60
The same way a powdered foundation absorbs oil, a mineral-based sunscreen works by leaving skin with a protective matte veil. And to top it off, the virtually weightless formula is also paraben- and fragrance-free, so it’s even suitable for oily skin that’s sensitive.
Lancôme UV Expert Aquagel Defense SPF 50 Sunscreen
This light but powerful oil-free option immediately absorbs into the skin for a weightless and shine-free feel. It's a two-in-one primer and moisturizer that keeps skin hydrated while also defending against environmental aggressors like pollution.
Kiehl’s Super Fluid UV Defense SPF 50+
With the combined benefits of an oil-free and mattifying formula, this silky and non-greasy fluid also contains vitamin E to help prevent free-radical damage and skin aging.
