Spf 30+ That Does Not Irritate Skin?

Just came back from a vbeam treatment due to years of sun damage (not sunscreen) and my derm said sunscreen is a must. He gave me elta MD spf 47, which doesn't irritate my face at all, but it leaves a white film on my face and I can't stand that.

I've tried many sunscreens/moisturizers in the past, but they all make my face feel very irritated. I think it's the chemical sunscreen in them.

Any of you know a good natural sunscreen (zinc oxide) that is at least 30 spf and doesn't leave a white film?

I would recommend, mixing the sunscreen with a little bit of tinted moisturiser, many people claim that this will reduce the whiteness caused by the sunscreen, and at the same time enable you to keep using the same sunscreen. All the best

Lumiplexion sunscreen. No white cast, nothing irritating.

The cerave stuff is getting some good reviews. Might try that.

CeraVe AM or neutrogena ultra sheer dry. I love them both, if I'm dry I use CeraVe in the summer time I use neutrogena but it dry matte and I love that, plus it absorbs very very quickly which is nice in the humid summer months.

i too am in search for a good sunscreen.i have recently checked a product which seems ideal in terms of ingredients.but i am not sure it will be good enough in terms oiliness.

also,i cant be sure if it has unwanted preservatives.nothing much is mentioned.

I'm going with elta md UV facial spf 30+

Main reason: still has physical sunscreens (not irritating zinc oxide), but not a ton of it, so hopefully no white cast.

I use Neutrogena Clear Face (Spf 55). It seems to work pretty well.
