If you have oily skin, you already know that finding a sunscreen that actually works for you takes a little more thought. Too heavy and it sits on top of your skin. Too rich and it adds shine you didn't ask for. But skipping SPF altogether isn't the answer—and most dermatologists will tell you it's one of the most important steps in any routine, oily skin or not.
Sunscreen has come a long way from being something we reached for on beach days and holidays. Daily SPF helps preserve your skin's natural radiance and keeps the rest of your routine working as it should. If you're using acids like AHAs, BHAs or PHAs, sun protection becomes even more important—these ingredients can make skin more sensitive to UV exposure, making SPF a non-negotiable rather than an afterthought.
The good news is that there are formulas out there that work with oily skin rather than against it. Gel-based and mineral sunscreens tend to be the most compatible—lightweight, fast-absorbing and designed to leave a clean, matte finish without adding any extra shine or heaviness.
Sensitive skin girlies, we see you. Clinique’s mineral sunscreen is designed to swaddle sensitive skin with an oil-free formula that offers up an invisible finish. Known to feel feathery light on the skin, the gentle composition also makes it suitable for use in delicate areas, such as around the eyes.
Mineral sunscreen in a fluid formula that feels nothing like what you'd expect. It sits lightly on skin, leaves a naturally matte finish and skips the white cast entirely. Fragrance-free and allergy-tested, it's a thoughtful pick for skin that tends to be on the reactive side. Broad spectrum SPF 50 covers both UVA and UVB and the finish stays comfortable from morning through to the end of the day.
This SPF 50+ formula offers broad-spectrum protection while calming irritation, thanks to centella asiatica. Its featherlight texture absorbs instantly, leaving the skin hydrated and fresh rather than sticky or suffocating. Ideal for those who want their sun protection to be as comfortable as their moisturiser.
A fast-absorbing formula that leaves skin feeling fresh and comfortable rather than coated. Broad spectrum SPF 50+ covers you well through the day and the lightweight texture plays nicely under makeup—no pilling, no slipping. If you want hydration and sun protection sorted in one step, this does the job well.
SPF is non-negotiable, but finding one that feels great to wear is a whole journey—that Laneige just made shorter. This sunscreen offers broad spectrum SPF 50+ protection while doubling as a hydrating skincare step, thanks to the brand’s signature moisture-locking technology. It sits weightlessly on the skin, doesn’t pill under makeup and leaves a soft, natural finish that works on every skin tone. If sunscreen has ever felt like a chore, this is the one that changes your mind.
With new sunscreen formats hitting the skincare aisle every single day, you might find your allegiance to traditional lotions slipping.

A gel texture that absorbs quickly and gets out of the way—no residue, no shine, just a clean matte finish and SPF 55+ doing its thing quietly.

It’s the product that improves how your hair behaves overall.
A gentle, non-comedogenic gel from a brand that has long been trusted for skin that needs a little extra consideration. The texture is light and the finish is clean making it a practical everyday option that lasts.
