A non-greasy facial sunscreen for oily and acne-prone skin
UV light is the main cause of sun-induced skin damage, but high-energy visible (HEVIS) light can also induce free radicals that cause further stress to skin.
Eucerin Sun Dry Touch Oil Control SPF 50+ is an everyday facial sunscreen for oily and acne-prone skin. The Advanced Spectral Technology combines broadband and photostable UVA and UVB filters1 for very high UV protection with Licochalcone A to neutralize free radicals caused by UV and HEVIS light. The sunscreen for oily skin also includes Glycyrrhetinic Acid which supports skin’s own DNA repair mechanism.
Sebum-regulating Oil Control technology with L-Carnitine and absorbing micro-particles gives skin an immediate dry touch finish and a long-lasting anti-shine effect of up to eight hours.
Eucerin Sun Dry Touch Oil Control SPF 50+ is unperfumed and has an ultra-light, non-greasy texture. Clinical and dermatological studies prove good skin tolerability on sensitive and acne-prone skin.

Sun protection isn’t just for sun bathers. Light to moderate everyday exposure affects skin too, and blemish-prone skin is particularly susceptible to hyperpigmentation issues which are easily exacerbated by the sun. That’s why it’s important to include sun protection in your daily skincare routine.
How it works
It’s not just UV rays that can damage skin. High-energy visible (HEVIS) light can also generate free radicals, cause photoaging (premature skin aging caused by the sun) and exacerbate the hyperpigmentation issues that oily and acne-prone skin is particularly prone to. Eucerin Sun Dry Touch Oil Control SPF 50+ and SPF 30 offer Advanced Spectral Technology that goes beyond UV to protect skin from the negative effects of HEVIS light too. The formula also supports skin’s own DNA repair mechanism and includes Eucerin’s proven Oil Control Technology which helps to control skin’s sebum and improve the condition and appearance of oily, acne-prone skin.
Advanced Spectral Technology
Superior broadband and photostable UVA/UVB filters1 are combined with Licochalcone A to neutralize free radicals caused by UVA and HEVIS light.
DNA protection
The sunscreen for oily skin also includes Glycyrrhetinic Acid which supports skin’s own DNA repair mechanism.
Oil Control Technology
The formula’s sebum-regulating Oil Control Technology combines absorbing microparticles and L-Carnitine, reducing the amount of sebum on the skin. The lipid-absorbing microparticles absorb any remaining excess oils, so skin appears dry and matt. Eucerin’s Oil Control Technology delivers a long-lasting anti-shine effect of up to eight hours.

All Ingredients
How do I know which SPF to use?
Sunscreens are available in four different levels of protection: low (factor 6 to 10), medium (15 to 25), high (30 to 50) and very high (50+). The higher the protection factor the better your skin is protected, but it’s important to apply the product thoroughly (be careful not to miss any bits) and to reapply it generously every two hours.
Can sunscreen clog my pores and lead to breakouts?
Some people with oily and acne-prone skin are concerned that sunscreen will worsen their symptoms and avoid sun protection altogether. Specially formulated products such as Eucerin Sun Dry Touch Oil Control SPF 50+ are designed to manage oily and acne-prone skin conditions. The ultra-light formula has a sebum-regulating Oil Control technology with L-Carnitine and absorbing micro-particles. It leaves an immediate dry touch finish and a long-lasting anti-shine effect of up to eight hours.
My skin is acne-prone. Do I need special suncare?
Yes. Effective sun protection is essential for all skin types and it’s particularly important for acne-prone skin for a number of reasons:
It’s also important to be aware that some acne medication and skin peels can make skin more sensitive to the sun and more susceptible to sun-induced skin damage. Products specially formulated for acne-prone skin, such as Eucerin Sun Dry Touch Oil Control SPF 50+, will give it the protection it needs. Our product is also ‘non-comedogenic’, which means it doesn’t contain ingredients that might block pores and trigger blemishes.

Why do I need to integrate sun face care into my daily routine?
Facial skin is more sensitive to UVA/UVB radiation and HEVIS light than skin on the rest of the body as it is exposed to sun all year round. Sun protection can help you avoid the cellular DNA damage caused by UV, photoaging (premature aging caused by the sun) and hyperpigmentation. It is important to protect facial skin whenever it is exposed to the sun.
What is the difference between UVA and UVB rays?
UVA rays penetrate the deeper layers of skin. They stimulate the production of free radicals that cause oxidative stress and can lead to indirect DNA damage. UVA rays are most commonly associated with photoaging (premature skin aging caused by the sun). They can also trigger sun allergies such as Polymorphous Light Eruption (PLE). UVB rays can also provoke allergies, but to a lesser degree.
UVB rays provide the energy your skin needs to make Vitamin D and stimulate the production of melanin which is responsible for tanning. They don’t travel as deeply as UVA rays, penetrating only the outermost layers of skin, but they cause more immediate damage such as sunburn. UVB rays are directly absorbed by cellular DNA which can lead to skin diseases such as actinic keratosis and skin cancer.
Both types of UV rays can induce hyperpigmentation and may contribute to conditions such as sun spots (also known as age spots) and melasma.
What is high-energy visible light and why does my skin need to be protected from it?
The sunlight spectrum consists of UV, visible and infrared light. Visible sunlight can be detected by the human eye, while the others remain invisible. Part of this visible spectrum has a high energy level and is known as high-energy visible light. It is also referred to as HEVIS light, HEV Light, HEVL and sometimes ‘blue light’ or ‘blue violet light’
Like UVA rays, HEVIS light penetrates the deeper layers of skin (the dermis) and can generate free radicals. These free radicals are one of the main causes of photoaging (premature skin aging caused by the sun). They interfere with skin cells and break down the collagen and elastin that gives our skin its plump, youthful appearance. HEVIS light has also been linked to uneven skin pigmentation and melasma.
Many modern sunscreens offer effective protection against UVA and UVB rays, but we recommend that you look out for products that also defend against the negative effects of HEVIS light. These products will give your skin reliable protection from photoaging and, in the long run, can also help to combat visible signs of skin aging such as wrinkles.
Can I use sunscreen and make-up?
Yes. Eucerin Sun Dry Touch Oil Control SPF 50+ is suitable for use under make-up. Both liquid and powder-based make-up can be safely applied over the sunscreen without affecting its protection.
