Oil-absorbing SPF 30 moisturizer with ceramide NP; shines less on oily skin.

What the community says

A daytime moisturizer-sunscreen hybrid with avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene, ceramide NP, and oil-absorbing powders. It makes the most sense for combination or oily skin that wants one step in the morning. Very oily faces still report grease and shine.
