# Oil Control Sunscreens Lakme India's Mattifying Sunscreen Leaves Skin Protected and Smooth By Jana Pijak | Published 2016-01-12 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mattifying-sunscreen References: [lakmeindia](https://www.lakmeindia.com/9-to-5/product/Lakmé-9-to-5-Mattifying-Super-Sunscreen) This mattifying sunscreen from Lakme India protects one's skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays while working to control oil buildup. Featuring an SPF 50 protection rating, this facial sunscreen is specially formulated to protect those with sensitive skin. While competing sun protection products can be greasy -- ultimately irritating those with sensitive skin -- this mattifying sunscreen keeps one's complexion balanced and smooth while putting an end to common breakouts. In addition to protecting users from redness and sunburns, this product is also dermatologist tested and will leave skin looking flawless after application. Rather than solely protecting users, this product [works like a primer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystal-spf-50-face-gel) and ensures one's complexion looks its best. Furthermore, the sunscreen is hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, meaning that it will not clog pores. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Mattifying Sunscreens:** Opportunity to create sunscreens that control oil buildup and provide a smooth complexion, particularly for sensitive skin. - **SPF 50 Protection:** Opportunity to develop sunscreens with a high SPF rating for optimal skin protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays. - **Multifunctional Sunscreens:** Opportunity to create sunscreens that offer both sun protection and cosmetic benefits, like acting as a primer for flawless-looking skin. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Skincare:** Opportunity for skincare brands to innovate and create effective mattifying sunscreens with advanced skin benefits. - **Cosmetics:** Opportunity for cosmetic companies to develop sunscreens that not only protect but also enhance the appearance of the skin. - **Dermatology:** Opportunity for dermatologists to recommend and offer mattifying sunscreens that address the specific needs of individuals with sensitive skin. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Non-Sticky Face Sunscreens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biotherm-sun-care-face-spf50.md) - [Medically Tested Sunscreens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anthelios-ultrafluid.md) - [Soothing Clear Sunscreens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clear-daily-soothing-uv-defense.md) - [Makeup-Friendly Sunblock Sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/korean-sunscreen-stick.md) - [Hydrating Non-Greasy Sunscreens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nongreasy-sunscreens.md) - [Lightweight Fluid Sunscreens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultralight-face-fluid-spf.md) - [Lightweight High-Level Sun Protectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sun-protectors.md) - [Sensitive-Safe Sunscreens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sos-faceguard-spf-30.md) - [Brightening Antioxidant Sunscreens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multivitamin-clear-coat-broad-spectrum.md)
