STYLEVANA K-Beauty Review: Sunscreen body lotions are great and all, but oily skin types may find them a tad greasy. If that's the case, try out NIVEA's Japan UV Super Water Gel SPF50 PA+++, which is a weightless game-changer for those who have oilier complexion. This fast-absorbing sun gel comes with broad-spectrum SPF50+ sun protection via chemical filters that do not leave any white caste or residual build-up. On top of its toner-like, grease-free texture, you can expect this sunscreen free from fragrances and colorants which is perfect for easily irritated skin.
