Ultra-light mattifying facial UV protection

Excess oil, persistent shine and recurring blemishes are common challenges for oily, blemish-prone skin, particularly when combined with sun exposure. Eucerin Sun Face Oil Control Gel-Cream SPF 50+ has been specially developed to address these concerns with an ultra-light, mattifying formula.

It provides very high UVA/UVB protection and Blue Light defence, while being clinically proven to deliver up to 14 hours of oil and shine control*.

Oil Control Technology with L-Carnitine helps reduce oil levels by up to 86%.** The formula also helps reduce blemishes and provides an immediate matt finish.

In addition, it contains Glycyrrhetinic Acid to support the skin's natural defence mechanisms, while AOX Shield Technology with Licochalcone A helps neutralise free radicals.

The non-greasy, non-sticky and fast-absorbing texture makes it ideal for everyday use and an excellent base under make-up.

So effective, in fact, that 1 in 2 dermatologists use it themselves***.

How to Use

To achieve the best results, apply Eucerin Sun Oil Control SPF 50+ daily in the morning and incorporate it into your skincare routine as follows: Preparation: Start with a thoroughly cleansed face to remove any excess oil or impurities. Using a gentle cleanser suited for oily or blemish-prone skin helps prepare your skin for optimal sun protection and a long-lasting matt finish. Application: Apply Eucerin Sun Face Oil Control Gel-Cream SPF 50+ every morning as the final step in your skincare routine, after cleansing and moisturizing. It can also be used in place of your regular day cream, especially for oily or acne-prone skin. Gently massage into your skin using upward motions, making sure to cover all exposed areas evenly. Avoid direct contact with the eyes. Follow-up: Reapply regularly – especially after swimming, sweating, or towel-drying – to maintain effective protection.

      Holy grail
      Absolutely by far the best sunscreen for oily skin. Every other sunscreen lies when they state it has a matte finish but this truly does dry down matte! It’s fabulous I love it! Would be nice to see a tinted version too as I hate wearing foundation
