Get Your Sunscreen Face On: 10 Best SPF 50 Sunscreens For Oily Skin

The Derma Co Ultra Light Zinc Mineral Sunscreen  has an SPF of 50 and PA+++ protection that shields you from harmful UVA and UVB rays while not making the skin greasy. What we love about this chemical sunscreen is that it's superlight, enriched with 25% zinc oxide that offers comprehensive protection and leaves no white caste. Being water and sweat resistant, you can be assured your face won't turn into a greaseball in the summers for upto two to three applications in a day.

Some people might argue that this one's not a great choice for non-dry skin folks since it has hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid but at times we tend to forget that oily skin's a result of super dehydrated skin yearning for hydration and releasing excess oil in response. We love the Dr. Sheth's Haldi & Hyaluronic Acid Sunscreen because it's super lightweight and gel-like so it doesn't feel heavy on the skin. We would honestly prefer this one over their niacinamide and centella variant (that's supposed to suit oily skin better) since it feels kind of like a primer that's difficult to blend into the skin. The Haldi & Hyaluronic Acid Sunscreen blends like a breeze with no aggressive rubbing involved.

Out of all the Aqualogica sunscreen variants we have tried, we like this one the best! Its lightweight, non-sticky, absorbs quickly into the skin and gives no white caste. Since it has hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, coconut water, aloe vera and glycerin — expect it to be slightly dewy on the skin, perfect for normal to combination skin folks.

This sunscreen from Plum, one of the most popular homegrown skincare brands in India gives SPF 50 PA+++ protection against UVA and UVB rays as well as blue light protection, and also features a vegan formula. While rice water smoothens and moisturises the skin, 2% niacinamide acts against the blemishes and dark spots. Since oily skin is more prone to acne, this one would do a great job at helping them heal as well as protecting your skin from the sun.

The Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence is a stellar sunscreen with one of the most lightest, non-goopy sunscreen formulations we have come across. Its Unique Aqua Micro Capsule releases moisture upon application, leaving skin feeling light. It also contains Hyaluronic Acid, Royal Jelly Extract and Butylene Glycol for moisturising. Light watery texture that is easily absorbed and does not leave any sticky after feel sans any white cast. And with SPF50+/PA++++ protection, it keeps your skin protected without a doubt.

If you don’t mind splurging a bit on a sunscreen that’s suits oily skin to the T, then get your hands on the Thank You Farmer Sun Project Light Sun Essence SPF 50 PA++. The texture of this Korean sunscreen is light as air with natural ingredients like lotus flower water, aloe leaf extract, althaea rosea flower extract that help rough, damaged skin. Protects from UVA and UVB with SPF50+ and PA+++ filters. It also moisturises, soothes, minimises pore appearance and strengthens skin barrier with moisture overflow that adheres to the skin. It gives a semi matte, non greasy finish for glowing, radiant complexion that’s not slippery or heavy on the skin.

The Isdin Fotoprotector Fusion Water Sunscreen with SPF 50 is a water based sunscreen. With broad spectrum protection from UV rays, the non-greasy and no-white cast formula feels like water on your skin and does full justice to its name. Even though it costs a bomb, it’s definitely worth the price considering it feels like nothing on your face which is a boon for oil-skinned beauties. The only ick we have faced with this one is that it starts pilling if you overdo your skincare underneath it.
