Hey, everyone! I have oily skin (prone to dehydration if that is a thing) that is generally very tolerant with acids and stuff like that, but it gets sensitive with fragrances! The stuggle is real because almost all fragrance-free sunscreens are aimed towards those with dry and sensitive skin and thus they make me look extremely greasy. I have used some chemical lightweight options like the La Roche Posay UV mune 400 no parfum and the Garnier Ambre Solaire anti dark spots but I found them kind of drying (my face was feeling tight especially around the eye area). I figured out that this was proably due to the denatured alcohol both of those had, high in the consentration. Some others I have tried are two mineral-only Avene sunscreens but the white cast was so bad I couldn't leave the house looking like that! So, to sum up, I'm looking for a fragrance-free (and essential oil-free) and alcohol free (or at least with a lower alcohol concentration) that doesn't leave a white cast and doesen't make you look greasy. Also, my skin is sensitive to too much hyaluronic acid, so preferably no hyaluronic acid as well. I know I'm asking for too much probably, but if you have any recommendations please share!
Thank you so much, I'll sure check the sunscreen. Also, thanks for the tip, I'll try it!!
I love Beauty of Joseon Rice and Probiotic, a Korean sunscreen. It doesn’t feel oily to me but I am on the normal to dry side.
Thank you! I have read a lot about this sunscreen but I wasn't sure if it was good for oily skin. It's maybe time to find out!
I use Supergoop! Play Everyday Sunscreen "with cellular response technology", SPF 50, specially designed for not clogging pores. It is lightweight but not greasy.
It smells like...sunscreen... like, it doesn't SEEM scented additionally to the normal sunscreen smell if you know what I mean.
Thank you so much for your suggestion! This sounds promising, I'll check it out!
Cheap and effective! Coppertone botanical sunscreen and has no white cast 🧡
Thank you very much!! I've never heard of this before. I'm definitely looking into this!!💛

I love Korean fragrance free sunscreens my family and I are using : Skin Aqua UV Super Moisture milk blue bottle it's a hybrid, Isntree hyaluronic acid watery sun gel, Beauty of joseon relief sun rice and probiotics sunscreen. All are spf 50 sensitive skin friendly, no fragrances, alcohols, essential oils. Love them all! Yestyle.com or stylevana.com
I've been hearing really good things about Coola sunscreen but a bit to pricy for me, not sure if Sephora carries it but if you have one near they'll sample you some??
If you find please post.
I’d suggest checking out the Murad line - their spf stuff blends in lightweight like a true moisturizer and isn’t drying. However, I’m not sure if they have a no fragrance option.
another option would be to blend something thick that might leave a white sheen like the Eucerin day SPF, mix it with a lightweight moisturizer or BB cream that you already are happy with so that the spf product is less abrasive. Just my thoughts! I’m deff not a professional
