ramblinrose 20 Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) my only concerns about that product are that it contains parabens and fragrance. but it's worth a try so go for it if u dont share those concerns!

mWilso 15 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I've heard that Elta MD UV clear is good for acne prone skin, I haven't personally used it though.http://www.dermstore.com/product_uv+clear+spf+46_20567.htm?gclid=CIP9woz387ACFcVgTAod_RhnIgI use Glycolix Elite Spf 30 because it's 17% zinc, but I can imagine some people would feel it's too heavy.

lalibear 0 Share Posted November 27, 2012 any suncreen that contain Zinc oxide or titanium dioxide as their active ingredients. i wouldnt buy anything else if it doesnt have those ingredients. they are heavy and do leave a slight white cast but they provide the most protection Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sanna24 0 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Elta Md makes awesome sunscreens. Uv physical is my favorite. It is oil-free and water resistant for oily skin. I order mine on sunscreendeals.com they have a variety of suncreens so you can find one compatible with your skin type Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCasey 0 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I use Neutrogena ultra sheer dry touch sunblock. Spf 30 Same. Been using it for 5+ years. no problems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaxen 35 Share Posted May 25, 2013 It sort of depends what spf you are looking for. If you want a lower spf there are more options for oily skin but I found it very hard to find a high spf sunscreen that wasn't oily. I was about to give up my search thinking no such thing existed as a high spf sunscreen that wasn't oily but then I found La Roche Posay fluid extreme spf 50+ and that's pretty good! I don't feel like I'm wearing sunscreen, my skin is no oilier with it than usual Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oilygirl1980 24 Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) I use Neutrogena's Ageless Intensives Tone Correcting Daily Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30. High spf but it's surprisingly super light. A little goes a long way. I've tried several of the Neutrogena with spf and they are all very good. I'm trying to get away from the ingredients to avoid, but I've been unsuccessful in attempts to go organic. So for right now, I have to stick to this one. Gives a nice tone which I think has something to do with the vitamin C in it.

David Lortscher 6 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I like the sunscreen sprays by Neutrogena or Banana Boat when my skin is oily. They can be drying because they're alcohol-based, but sometimes that's a good thing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Green Gables 518 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Banana Boat Natural Reflect line works well for oily skin. It is thicker to touch, and you need to spend more time rubbing it out to a thin layer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
