High SPF face cream that doesn't leave a white sheen?

[Queasyrider]

Can anyone recommend a face cream with a high factor SPF that doesn't leave a white shiny sheen?
I've tried Ultrasun Face SPF 30 and La Roche Posay Anthelios XL SPF 50 melt in cream. Both feel lovely but leave me looking slightly ghostly.
Ideally I'd like something non greasy that I can use under make up but that won't look odd without make up on a lazy day! Thanks.

I'd like the same. Just slathered Anthelios on and am looking ghostly

[AwkwardSquad]

I've been mixing Anthelios with my moisturiser and it's not leaving me looking ghostly. At least I don't think it is! I've not had any concerned questions about my wellbeing yet, anyway.

Someone on here recommended
Sunsense

It's excellent, very light & just vanishes when you put it on. I'd also reccomend a good BB or CC cream- one with SPF 30 or more. Estée Lauder or Clinique both have. I feel you have a bit more staying power with these.

I use a dr Brandt bb that has a SPF of 30 and I'm just about to get some tinted Skinceuticals sunblock that has a SPF of 50. LRP also do a BB with a factor of 20. Anthelios give me the ghost look too.

I've said it elsewhere but it's worth repeating.... sunsense is the bees knees.... they are all quite good personally I use this one. It's so light, no white streaks, doesn't feel sticky etc etc...oh and if your skin is ok the tint means you can get away without foundation...

[Fairydogmother]

Dermalogica sun care is great. I use the tinted one on my face

[JennySense]

Hettie ordered some sunsense yesterday - not that one though - the Daily Face SPF50+ Invisible Tint Finish Sunscreen and the Anti-Ageing Face SPF50 Sunscreen
Must be a good thing that they have several different types!

I love origins a perfect world SPF 25 if that is high enough?

[MaybeBentley]

Have you thought of this powder instead of a cream. I love it and use it on exposed arms, neck, etc. as well Love the fact that it doesn't leak all over the bottom of my bag and take one everywhere with me at this time of year.

The whiteness is from the titanium dioxide which gives better protection compared to chemical screens.

TBH I don't ind as I tend to use foundation over the top.

I like Clinique City Block spf 40 but just bought some Boots No 7 spf50 for face- dark spot protector or some such name- with a voucher so got it for £7 and it's nice- but you do get a bit of whiteness.

I'm using a Soap and Glory one at the mo. Cheap as chips and I'm pretty impressed with it, it sinks right in, is none greasy and SPF25.

Ultrasun-

I bought a kit last year which had a Factor 30 face/ anti-ageing. I was a bit but I really liked it. Just use instead of my day moisturiser after my shower.

I've ordered a duo pack (QVC but John Lewis and IIRC M&S sell it)

No white marks, rubs in nicely.
They do a Factor 50 as well but I've not used that. I use 50 on the DC but they don't need the anti-ageing cream one.

[ParkerTheThief]

I'm using the Soap and Glory 25 SFP as well and I really like it.

[missbopeep]

SPF 25 is not really quite high enough from what I've heard dermos say.

You also need to use enough and slather it on every 1-2 hrs on a hot day.

[PolyesterBride]

This is what I use and its really good

Thanks everyone. Lots here to look out for. Sunsense gets a few votes so will see how that goes if I can find it in Boots tomorrow.

I use Clarins uv plus SPF 40 - very thin consistency and not at all sticky. I can't see a white sheen but I'm quite pale anyway.
