The mattifying mineral

Ground into microscopic spheres, silica scatters light instead of bouncing it straight back, which is why a formula containing it makes texture and pores look softer the moment it goes on. It is absorbent too, soaking up sebum through the day, so it earns its place in anything that needs to stay matte under makeup or sun.

Tinted SPF is its natural home here: Intellishade Matte SPF 45, Intellishade TruPhysical SPF 45 and SkinBetter Science sunbetter TONE SMART SPF 75. It also appears in Nectifirm Advanced and YouthFull Hands.

Will silica dry out my skin?

It absorbs oil rather than water, so it is not dehydrating the way an alcohol-heavy formula can be. Very dry skin may still prefer a dewier finish, in which case the non-matte versions of the same sunscreens are the better pick.
