Oily skin and sunscreen aren't the most dynamic duo at times. Essential sun protection aside, sunscreen can bring out the worst in oily skin if you pick the wrong formula. Mid-day greasiness is already inevitable. The last thing those with oily skin want is something to accelerate the shine like an equally greasy sunscreen. Luckily, mattifying sunscreens exist, and they aren't always marketed as such.

A Redditor, who goes by the username Wsh1, has been spreading the gospel about the best matte drugstore sunscreen for oily skin on the beauty side of Reddit, and others thoroughly agree with the pick. The beloved sunscreen is none other than the Australian Gold Botanical SPF 50 Tinted Face Lotion, which goes for $12.99 at Ulta.

On the SkincareAddiction subreddit, Wsh1 shared that they first heard of the drugstore SPF from YouTuber HotandFlashy. "Since I've gotten more serious about using sunscreen [every day] after meeting you people, I've ordered it from Amazon," they wrote. "I am in love!"

They went on to explain that the Australian Gold sunscreen keeps their skin matte, doesn't make them break out, and doesn't feel oily at all. "In fact, it can be used as a face primer," they added. "A sunscreen that keeps me matte instead of adding to the grease?! Sign me up for this miracle!" Honestly, same. My skin has a tendency to turn anything I put on it into a layer of slick shine within an hour. Other Redditors also agreed that it's an excellent makeup primer.

Wsh1 also noted that the Australian Gold Botanical SPF 50 Tinted Face Lotion requires some double-cleansing to remove, because the SPF doesn't budge when washed off with a water-based cleanser. So be sure to suds up with an oil-based cleanser first, as you would with removing makeup.
