Could anyone recommend a good moisturizer for day that's non-comedogenic and won't "ball up" under sunscreen? Even though it's getting warmer, I still use a moisturizer, my skin tends to be on the drier side. Several that I have tried recently ball up under my sunscreen. I think I've found a sunscreen that I'd like to stick with - La Roche Posay spf 60 Ultra Light Fluid. Now just need to find the perfect moisturizer for underneath.

Thanks!

I really like Cerave PM.I have oily,acne-prone skin and it does not break me out nor does it ball up under sunscreen.

I had a sample of this sunscreen and it balled up all on its own. You can try it on its own and see if it balls up on you.

There is other LRP sunscreens that are nice.

It's probably the sunscreen, not the moisturizer.

I find if you match up the ingredients in the sunblock and the moisturizer, that helps. That is - if it's a water based moisturizer, use a water based sunblock, or a silicone based moisturizer, then use a silicone based sunblock.

I have dry skin so I use both an oil based sunblock and an oil based moisturizer with no problems.

I prefer to use a moisturiser that contains a high SPF rather than a separate moisturiser and sunscreen. When my skin is feeling dry i like Paula's Choice skin recovery daily moisturising lotion spf 15.
