Oily or combination skin looking for SPF 60 sun protection without a sticky feel or shine — good to wear under makeup.
An ultra-light, oil-free facial sunscreen fluid with a matte finish, broad-spectrum SPF 60, and Cell-Ox Shield technology with antioxidants.
Daily application before heading out, on oily or combination skin that doesn't want extra shine from sunscreen, or as a base before makeup.
Not applicable — this is an individual personal-care product, not for commercial use.
If your skin is oily or combination and you don't want a sticky feel, this fluid is the right pick between this catalog's two Anthelios versions. If your skin is normal to dry and you want extra hydration in the same step, this catalog's Melt-In Milk serves that better.

Oily or combination skin looking for SPF 60 sun protection without a sticky feel or shine — good to wear under makeup.
Same brand and same SPF 60 as this catalog's Anthelios Melt-In Milk, but a completely different texture: this is an ultra-light, oil-free fluid with a matte finish, built for oily or combination skin — the Melt-In Milk, by contrast, is a richer lotion built for normal-to-dry skin. Amazon's 'Overall Pick', 8,000+ bought in the past month. Real limitation: being matte and oil-free, it doesn't provide the extra hydration the Melt-In Milk version does — on very dry skin it can feel insufficient without adding a separate moisturizer.
If your skin is oily or combination and you don't want a sticky feel, this fluid is the right pick between this catalog's two Anthelios versions. If your skin is normal to dry and you want extra hydration in the same step, this catalog's Melt-In Milk serves that better.

Label glossary
So you know exactly what they mean before deciding if it's right for your skin.
100% mineral filters (not chemical), tinted to hide the white cast typical of zinc — made for daily facial use with an anti-aging focus. It's notably more expensive than a generic body sunscreen ($78 vs. $10-30): the price reflects concentrated facial use, not a large bottle for the whole body. Amazon 'Overall Pick' in its category.
Amazon 'Overall Pick' in sunscreens — broad-spectrum SPF 60, a fast-absorbing lotion texture, oil-free. It's a chemical filter (not mineral), formulated for face and body — more versatile than the ISDIN in this ranking if you want one product for your whole body, not just your face.
A 100% mineral (zinc oxide) sunscreen from EltaMD, the brand most recommended by dermatologists in U.S. industry surveys — over 44,800 reviews and 20,000+ bought in the past month. Unlike the other two sunscreens in this ranking (the tinted ISDIN and the chemical La Roche-Posay), this one is untinted and formulated specifically for dry/combination skin, with hyaluronic acid added for extra hydration.
