by Nivea
Updated October 12, 2026
Avobenzone SPF 50+ delivers matte shine control without greasy residue.
What the community says
A budget SPF 50+ with Avobenzone, silica, and tapioca starch that dries matte after a few minutes. Oilier skin gets the finish and makeup compatibility; dry or fragrance-sensitive skin may dislike the alcohol denat and parfum-heavy formula.
