SPF for Oily Skin?

I’m in search of an SPF that will work for oily skin. I have yet to find one! I don’t want to feel like a grease ball and I don’t want anything that will interfere with how my makeup looks. Any suggestions?

Re: SPF for Oily Skin?

Hello, 

 

I have oily and acne prone skin and i found that the only two sunscreens that have protected me from the sun and also kept me from being a greasy all day were Shiseido Urban Environment Oil-Free UV Protector Broad Spectrum Face Sunscreen SPF 42 1 oz/ 30 mL and SHISEIDO - Ultimate Sun Protector Lotion SPF 50+ Sunscreen. 

 

The Urban Environment one is great for inner city (i.e. when you're going to work) because it also protects against pollution as well which i think is very cool! it's super light weight and I am able to wear it under make up. i don't get breakouts and don't feel as oily either. 

 

The Ultimate Sun protector one is good for when you are spending a lot of time in the sun doing physical activities, sports or going to the beach. This sunscreen is water resistant for up to 80 minutes and is ocean friendly (so the salt water from the beach won't wash this one off). but still if you're going into the water make sure you reapply afterwards! 

 

Small note: I usually sunburn my nose and forehead easily and have worn both (on different occasions) on my face on vacation in Punta Cana and they both kept me from burning those areas! I even reapplied several times without washing my face in the ocean or pool and i didnt breakout. 

 

Hopefully this helps!
