Can anyone recommend me a good, NON-GREASY SPF for face?

The weather is SO lovely, ATM. But the downside of this for me is that I need to slather myself in sun cream. Then I end up like a greaseball. I'm really looking for sun protection to wear sprodadically, but if anyone knows of a good daily one (ie for under makeup), let me know also please!

Can anyone recommend me a good SPF for the face?
I've tried -

  • Clinique sun cream one - very, very greasy (- Clinique City Block for everyday. Makes me itch).
  • Dermalogica Solar Defense Booster

Thanks in advance...

P20 is good. Once daily application under your moisturiser and it's not greasy at all.

This lovely sun has made my skin go very blotchy and after googling I think I have Melasma.

Bit gutted and now see that I need to keep the sun off my face.

Where can I buy the La Roche Posay Anthelios one? It doesn't seem to say on their website.

Thanks

Anthelios available in larger Boots.

Fab - thanks.

I'm a huge fan of the Elizabeth Arden eight hour cream suncream - it's factor 50, you only need a tiny bit, and it smells amazing. Left it at home and ended up buying a Piz Buin factor 50 face one and it is hopeless - I swear I'm still all shiny after I've taken all my make up off and cleansed my skin.

I buy the Elizabeth Arden one online here but you can also get just the suncream for £23. It's the same sort of texture as their facial moisturiser if you've tried that (but much much lighter than the original eight hour cream)

I bought the Anthelios one in Boots yesterday and so far so good. There's a slight sheen but neither greasy or matt.

Bit late here but I really rate Boots No & Anti-Dark Spot Facial Sun Protection factor 50 +. Not overly expensive (about £12 I recall) - very high spf and not in the least bit sticky

smeraldina · 26/04/2011 11:59

Boots no. 7 that is

third Anthelios. this is also non-greasy.

Banana Boat Powder Dri lotion from Tescos for £6 is AMAZING stuff, factor 30 and dries instantly and looks like you have no cream on at all which is great for under make up and great for kids on the beach.

Only slight downside is it does have a sweet banana smell which personally I don't mind at all but some people might not like.
