Has anyone tried the Dermalogica Solar Booser SPF30? I am looking for a sunscreen that is not greasy and leaves no residue on my face. I have dehydrated but slightly oily skin. I typically go for products that are very hydrating without being oily, like Dermalogica Barrier Repair which uses silicone for moisture.

I've read good reviews of DDF Organic Sunblock SPF 30 in this forum. I'm concerned about this because it uses titanium dioxide and zinc oxide as the active ingredients - they serve as a physical barrier - and I've read that these ingredients can clog pores on oily or acne prone skin. I'm also hesitant to put yet another layer over my moisturizer.

So, any opinions on this moisturizer? Or any suggestions for a daytime moisturizer with SPF already included?

Thanks

I used the DDF organic and had no problems with it clogging pores etc. I also use Max Factor Colour Adapt foundation which has lots of silicone, and was ok with this too. I too looked at the booster, it seemed good idea to just add some to you favourite moisturizer, but because I couldnt see any reviews I decided against it. Im sensitive to fragrance and chemical sunscreens, so that helps make up mind. There are probably more matte products than the DDF, which might be better for very oily skin. Have you looked at Makeupalley too? Lots of reviews there, and drugstore.com too which I use for reference as ingredients are always listed.

I've been using the Dermalogica Solar booster and so far it's the best SPF that I've ever used. I was worried that the tiny bootle would be used up fast, but a little goes a long way. Lately, I have been mixing it in with Skinceuticals b5 and it glides so smoothly all over my face. Also, it doesn't have the typical SPF smell and no breakouts!

I've got two suggestions for moisturisers with SPF included:

Dermalogica Sheet Tint Moisture SPF15 (comes untinted as well), and
Murad Energizing Pomegranate Moisturizer SPF 15.

Of course, there are plenty more out there but I have tried (and liked) these two.
