What does everyone use on a daily basis Smile

I never use moisturiser with sunscreen. It's just not enough because a)I haven't found a moisturiser with a high SPF and is UVA photostable; and b)sunscreen needs to be applied enough to obtain the stated SPF and moisturiser isn't something I usually slather on.

I use SkinCeuticals CE serum followed by phyto+ and if my skin is feeling dry, B5 Hydrating Gel. I usually reserve B5 for the evening because too much layering sometimes cause products to ball up. I skip moisturiser because my La Roche Posay sunscreen is oily enough!

Always sunscreen is the LAST product you apply on your skin. Some ladies like to use a foundation with an spf 15 over a plain moisturizer. Currently I'm using Serious Skin Care C spf 15.

I'm in the habit of putting on moisturizer and then sunblock. I'm hoping that the moisturizer that doesn't clog me up will provide a protective layer between my skin and the sunblock that usually does clog my pores. I don't know how sound that theory is but it's working for me right now. I just switched sunblocks - again - and I'm hoping I won't be sensitive to this one. ProCyte Ti-Silc Sheer Sunblock SPF 45

Moisturizer then sunscreen is the correct order. I use Dove sensitive skin moisturizer if I need it then Shiseido spf 55 on top. However, I switched from the Shiseido spf 55 lotion to the cream so now I don't think I will need a moisturizer under it. The lotion was slightly drying but nice matte finish.

I've always used a separate sunscreen even if I use a tinted moisturizer with sunscreen in it. If I use a moisturizer, I apply the moisturizer first, then the sunscreen, I wait awhile, then apply my foundation or tinted moisturizer.

My dermatologist simply told me to use "Dormer 30" which has HA in it....but i don't think it has much else...

The Dormer can be used on face and body...it just seems a little boring to use, if you know what i mean.

Sometimes simple products are good too Smile

Suncreen is a hard one though, and you really have to find one that you like. I have tried so many, and I seem to like them all for a while, but then I continue my search for my HG...

A sunscreen in the morning is all I use - no need for a seperate cream. In fact, I wish my sunscreens were less moisturizing!

I use either Ombrelle's Extreme SPF 30, which contains Parsol 1789 (Avobenzone), micronized Zinc Oxide, and Mexoryl ... or La Roche-Posay's Anthelios Gel with SPF 40.

I use sunblock as a standalone product. I find that regular moisturizers that contain sunscreen do a lousy job in filtering out UVA/UVB rays.

Currently using: Skinceuticals sunblock spf 30 for the face and Ombrelle spray sunblock SPF 15 for the body. As we approach summer, I will switch to Ombrelle's spf 30 lotion.
