Verdict

This sunscreen is a solid choice if you have oily, acne-prone skin and want lightweight, effective SPF protection without the white cast—the formula's ability to absorb quickly and provide a matte finish are genuinely impressive for this skin type. However, be aware that it doesn't always deliver on the "matte" promise, especially when layered over other products, and the greasy appearance on some faces and creasing around the eyes might be deal-breakers if you're looking for a flawless finish throughout the day. The unpleasant sunscreen smell is also worth considering if fragrance is important to you. Overall, it's worth trying if you have oily skin, but manage your expectations about the matte finish depending on your skincare routine.

Top pro:
Ideal for oily and acne-prone skin with a non-greasy, lightweight formula that absorbs easily
Top con:
Can create an overly greasy appearance on the face, which contradicts its intended matte finish for oily skin
