Ranked by 857 mentions across Reddit
Oily skin: fluid or gel, matte finish. Dry skin: lotion.
The why
A hybrid sunscreen-primer with modern UV filters, a watery-gel texture, and a very cosmetic finish. It suits oily, combination, and makeup-wearing skin; dry skin often needs moisturizer underneath. The trade-off is glow, occasional pilling, and eye sting for some.
One minus
Glowy finish can read greasy on oily skin
