What the gurus are saying

This matte oil-control sunscreen delivers the unusual feel of a moisturizer that settles to semi-matte, not the powdery sensation of typical matte formulas. Denatured alcohol makes this happen, which some experts embrace for oil control and others criticize as a trick for instant mateness. Fragrance is included, and only the European formula offers true oil control; the US version doesn't.

"I really like this because it isn't too glidey when I'm applying it. It is fragrance-free with very minimal smell. There is alcohol in it but to me it isn't really that obvious. The finish is satiny, it isn't as matte as I really expected for an oil control product but honestly I don't think any chemical sunscreens go really super matte but it does stay the same level of satiny for a really long time so I found that really impressive."

"Sunscreen for today is the Eucerin Oil Control. This is a chemical sunscreen I reviewed a while ago, I really like it actually."

"The European version of this sunscreen is honestly incredible. I wish it was easier to get in the United States. It's much more of a gel cream in formulation, so a lot lighter weight. This also has more of a matte dry down. One of my patients, her mom lives in France and sent her a bunch of different products to try because she has oily skin and struggles with acne, and this was sort of the winner of the bunch. She brought it into clinic for me to try and it was incredible."

"It's a bit of a trick really putting it in because you get that instant matte finish. You're getting that instant feeling, people are buying it because they are addicted to that instant quick matte feeling, which I fully understand, but I don't like what it does to the skin. You don't see what's happening to the skin because you don't see free radicals being generated. For this one I would again side step."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.
