7 Oil-Free Sunscreens You Won't Hate Putting On

There's a fine line between skincare that makes you look dewy and skincare that makes you look (and feel) greasy. Sunscreen often straddles that fine line. Some formulas leave a powdery white cast on deeper complexions; others make your pores look like they've been dunked in a deep frier. Neither of those side effects are cute, but what's really not cute is skipping out on protecting your skin from the sun — so finding the right sunscreen is crucial.

If you can't commit to a formula in fear that your makeup will melt off midday, try opting for something oil-free. Fortunately, some of our favourite brands have mastered effective sun protection without the slick, greasy feeling. From dermatologist-approved pumps to hydrating moisturisers, we rounded up some of our favourites, ahead.
