What's your favorite for the face?

I just returned from 4 days in the Riviera Maya and ABSOLUTELY ADORED Shiseido's SPF 36 for the face. Did not clog my pores and doubled as a great moisturizer. No hint of sunburn whatsoever and no adverse reaction.

I love MyChelle's Sun Shield. It doens't smells like sunscreen, and the texture is quite smooth and not sticky at all.

I love La Roche Posay anthelios, leaves a matt finish, I get no shine all day with this Very Happy

Without a doubt, Shiseido's complete line. The Sun Protection Lotion, Sun Protection Cream, and the makeup base sunscreens, Smoothing Veil, Mattifying Veil, and Brightening Veil. These have incomparable textures, only a light fragrance, and all help makeup to stay on.

I love La Roche Posey Anthelios XL, the Lait, the extreme is also very good. Photoderm has some good sunscreens as well, hths.

Well I've been mulling this over for some time now. I finally ordered the LRP anthelios XL fluide extreme 60 and should be getting it soon. I hope it's exactly what I've been looking for, but I'm still concerned that it will leave me shiny. I currently use the Neutrogena Dry Touch and I have to blot quite a bit with that. I don't know why though because when I first bought it it dried matte on me.

I had considered the Shisheido but am afraid it would really dry out my skin since I can be prone to that, especially with the retinol/AHA products I use. I guess we'll see if I made the right choice in a few days!

I like my La Roche Posay anthelios spf45,and Skinceuticals Ultimate Sunscreen spf30. They are both very nice--not greasy, not shiny, also not dry me out.

Last summer I bought Shisheido sunscreen, very dry to me, I didn't like it and threw it out.

Thanks Lithia. I hope I have the same positive experience as you. I had tried the Shisheido on my hand at the mall and instantly knew it would dry my face out. It even made my hand feel parched.

I too love LRP Anthelios, the Lait.

I really like Ombrelle(with mexoryl) SPF 60. It doesn't seem greasy and was the cheapest product I could find w/ mexoryl.

I really like the sunscreen from Dermalogica. It is tinted so it will give your face a nice bronze glow and it doesnt clog pores

Unfortunately it does for me. I don't know why because the first few times I used it it didn't. Now I have to blot my entire face a few minutes after application and even throughout the day my face is still very shiny. Rolling Eyes

I generally avoid chemical sunscreen as they tend to worsen my rosecea. Ok these are the four that I use regularly:

Clinique City Block SPF 25: This is my everyday sunscreen. It is a nude colour and doesn't give a white cast. However, its really difficult to apply liquid foundation over it.

Avene SPF 30: I often use this as a cheaper alternative to Clinique, but it leaves an white cast and I can't apply liquid foundation over it.

Skinceuticals Physical UV: This is my heavy duty sunscreen which I use for scorching days and when I know I'll be outdoors the whole day. It leaves a white cast and feels very greasy.

Shiseido Sunscreens: I pinched this from my mum one time just to see why she loved it so much. It is divine. No white cast or greasiness. Also I can easily blend liquid foundation over it without the balling effect. Too expensive to use everyday though.

I mix LRP 45 with my foundation, it still gives a shine to my face Sad

. Whereas if I only use it alone (LRP 45), it's less greasy.

I really like Shiseido's Ultimate Protection Lotion (55). I've tried the Cream too and marginally prefer the Lotion because it seems lighter to me. They're both great, non-pore-clogging (as long as one removes them properly), leave a great matte finish, do not burn my eyes or have strong scents. The unfortunate thing, as someone has already noted, is the price.

On days I go to the gym: La Roche-Posay Anthelios W Gel 40. This absolutely does not leave any white cast and is good if you sweat the tiniest bit (my cardio is walking only, so I don't really sweat); however, it is insanely sticky and so shiny. I use this one only on days when I am wearing my hair in a bun with all of my bangs clipped back. lol

On days I wear makeup: La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Fluide Extreme 60. Just a tiny bit shiny, but no white cast, not sticky. With a bit of Jurlique powder, I'm cool, matte, and good to go.
