Sunscreen is the most important step in your skincare routine (even if you’re not heading to the beach!), but it’s also the step that most women and men complain about. Whether its complaints of feeling greasy or leaving a white cast, people can often tend to skip their daily SPF for these reasons.
SPF is a step that definitely shouldn’t be overlooked – the sun is the number one cause of skin damage as it can cause premature skin ageing, sun spots, and melanoma if you’re not using a sunscreen to protect your skin. Don’t stress though, there are some amazing face sunscreens out there that won’t leave you looking or feeling pale or oily. I use my face sunscreen either in place of my normal day moisturiser (yes, I still use one even if my foundation has an SPF in it!), or I’ll use a lightweight moisturiser, let it sink into the skin for a few minutes, and use a face sunscreen over the top.
Tried and tested, keep reading for the 5 best non-greasy face sunscreens, perfect for working into your daily skincare routine.
5 Best Non-Greasy Face Sunscreens
Dermalogica Oil Free Matte SPF 30
Incredibly lightweight and oil-free, this sunscreen is perfect for combination to oily skin types. It not only protects skin from the sun’s rays but also keeps surface oils at bay, balances oil production, and minimises breakouts. It’s non-comedogenic so it won’t clog pores, is free of artificial fragrances and colours and is cruelty-free
Mecca Cosmetica To Save Face Superscreen SPF 50+
I have used this sunscreen for years and years, and it’s one I always keep going back to! It’s lightweight, non-greasy and ultra hydrating (I use it in place of my daily moisturiser). Containing SPF 50 with hyaluronic acid, pomegranate extract and vitamin E in a non-oily and non-whitening formula, makeup always applies and sits well on top of this. It also comes in a handy 30ml travel size.
Alpha-H Protection Plus Daily SPF 50
Designed to both nourish and hydrate your skin whilst also protecting it from the sun’s harmful rays. It has a non-greasy formulation and demi-matte finish, it also works well as a sunscreen under makeup due to its slightly tinted formulation.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Ultra-Light Fluid SPF 50+
Featuring a lightweight, invisible texture, its SPF 50+ formula is paraben and fragrance free and specifically designed for sensitive skin types.

oh I love the hydro boost one! I have combination skin so I CANNOT do any of the oily ones and its so hard to find a good non oily one. You should try the Estee Lauder one as well from the PRO line. It’s great!
