Gel sunscreen for oily skin delivers broad-spectrum protection in a lightweight, non-greasy formula. The quick-absorbing texture helps control excess shine and keeps pores clear, making it a smart choice for those prone to oiliness or breakouts. With a matte finish, gel sunscreens are comfortable for daily wear and layer well under makeup.
Gel sunscreens stand out from creams and lotions by offering an oil-free texture and fast absorption. Unlike heavier creams, gels are less likely to clog pores or leave a sticky residue. This makes them ideal for oily and combination skin types seeking a fresh, natural look throughout the day.

| Niacinamide | Balances oil and soothes skin |
| Zinc Oxide | Physical sun protection, calms irritation |
