Best Sunscreens for Oily Skin

Matte, oil-free SPF that controls shine and wears comfortably on oily skin.

Sunscreen for oily skin

Oily skin needs the same daily protection as any other type, but heavy or greasy formulas can feel slick and trigger congestion. The sunscreens here are oil-free with matte or dry-touch finishes, so they control shine and layer well under makeup.

Editor's picks

EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46 is oil-free and lightweight, a longtime favorite for oily and acne-prone skin. Revision Intellishade Matte SPF 45 adds a shine-free tint, and EltaMD UV Sport SPF 50 gives water-resistant, non-greasy protection for active days. sunbetter SHEER SPF 70 is a light mineral option.

What to look for

Terms like oil-free, matte, and non-comedogenic signal a formula suited to oily skin. Apply enough to protect fully, and reapply midday over makeup with a powder or mist when you are outdoors.
