Best Sunscreens for Oily Skin in the Philippines (2025 Update)

Because walang glow up kung sunog ang mukha, bes!

Hello mga beshies! 🌞

Let’s be real — living in the Philippines = living under intense sun exposure. Kahit pa nasa loob ka lang ng bahay or naka-commute sa FX, the UV rays are always there chika-ing your skin. Kaya kahit oily pa ang skin mo, you STILL need sunscreen.

Pero gets ko, mahirap talagang humanap ng SPF na hindi greasy, hindi malagkit, at hindi magpapakinang sa mukha mo like lechon sa fiesta. Kaya today, ishare ko sa inyo ang updated list ng Best Sunscreens for Oily Skin in the Philippines (2025 Edition!) — tried, tested, and loved by Filipinas (and oily-skin beshies) like you and me!

✔ Reapply every 2–3 hours if you're outside (yes, besh, need talaga!)
