There are two types of sunscreen.
1. Physical or mineral sunscreen.
2. Chemical sunscreen.
Physical contains zinc or titanium dioxide to help it sit on top of your skin and physically block harmful rays. Like a shield.

Because of the presence of zinc or titanium dioxide which are white metals, most of them might leave a white cast on your face — not so white though if you get original ones. I recommend these types for oily skin and maybe combination skin if you're comfortable with it.
Then for the chemical ones, they don't leave a white cast. They absorb into your skin and absorb the rays from the sun converting them to heat energy and released from the body. Any skin type can use this if you're comfortable with it. Some could be very moisturizing though
Like altruist sunscreen for example is oily and very recommended for dry skin.
So if you get a particular brand you're comfortable with, stick to that brand.
This is purito centella sunscreen. No white cast, not oily. Any skin type can use this though it's a bit pricey.

Then the CeraVe hydrating sunscreen. Its clearly written on the label "mineral sunscreen" yet it's non greasy which means the white cast aren't depressing.

Even if you have oily skin, there are chemical sunscreen which are lightweight and can still be very much okay for you like the Neutrogena up there. It all goes down to which you are comfortable with. Look out for their active Ingredients to differentiate them when buying.
And many brands specify recommendations for skin types and if they are lightweight.
