Paula's Choice Oil-Free SPF 50 Sunscreen for Face & Body, 5 oz — Matte Finish, Antioxidant-Rich

Paula's Choice Extra Care Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF 50 is a lightweight, non-greasy facial and body sunscreen that delivers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection with antioxidants and a soft matte finish.

This everyday lotion combines SPF 50 sun defense with antioxidant-rich ingredients like vitamins A, C and E, plus hydrating aloe and oil-absorbing kaolin clay. Designed to be water- and sweat-resistant, it suits outdoor activities while staying comfortable on oily, combination, and normal skin types. The formula is fragrance-free and free of parabens, formulated to layer smoothly beneath makeup or wear alone for a shine-controlled appearance.

How does this sunscreen handle oily or combination skin?

The oil-free formula dries down to a soft matte finish and avoids the heavy, greasy feel that can exacerbate shine. Kaolin helps absorb excess oil while lightweight emollients provide hydration without clogging pores.

• Soft matte finish minimizes visible shine throughout the day
• Oil-absorbing kaolin reduces surface oil without over-drying
• Non-comedogenic texture works beneath makeup
• Fragrance-free, suitable for sensitive-prone skin

Is it effective for outdoor or water activities?

This SPF 50 lotion is formulated to be water- and sweat-resistant, making it a practical choice for time spent outdoors, casual swimming, or physical activity. Reapplication is recommended after towel drying or extended sun exposure to maintain protection.

• Water- and sweat-resistant for active days
• Broad-spectrum UVA/UVB coverage with SPF 50
• Lightweight enough for full-body application without greasiness
• Reapply after swimming, sweating, or towel drying per label instructions

Can I use this on both face and body under makeup?

Yes — the formulation is made to work well on the face and body and layers comfortably under cosmetics. Its silky texture helps foundation and tinted products apply evenly while controlling excess oil.

• Versatile for face and body application
• Compatible with daily makeup routines
• Leaves a smooth base for foundation or mineral powders
• Does not contain added fragrance that can interfere with other products
