There are a number of perks to wearing one of the best oil-free sunscreens on a regular basis. Not only do many of these staples contain next to invisible formulas that won't leave a white cast behind on your face, but they also include built-in anti-aging and skin cancer prevention benefits that won't clog your pores. And when you're naturally oily or acne-prone skin, applying an SPF that's shields against the elements—without adding extra greasiness—is key.

Here, we've rounded up a short list of some of the very best broad-spectrum essentials that are ideal for just about any skin type—each featuring protection coverage of SPF 30 or more.
