Non-greasy face suncream SPF 30

[vacaloca]

I need a 30SPF suncream for my face. I'm doing laser hair removal and have to wear it everyday otherwise it'll affect the laser settings. The cream I was given at the clinic is increadibly greasy and I now have a very shiny face despite a fair amount of make up trying to cover it. Any suggestions?

Estée Lauder bb cream is SPF 35, non greasy matte finish lasts all day, but only comes in 2 colours. Cost £32.

Clarins day screen high protection SPF40, again matte finish, ideal under make-up, my one has a pink tint but almost invisible on my face and lasts all day. Cost £29.

Kiehl's ultra light daily uv defense SPF 50, v light moisturiser you can wear over another moisturiser if you have dry skin. Can't be seen on skin. Cost £31.

For reference I have combination skin, I'm pale and I don't like tanning because it gave me cystic spots, also my skin is very sensitive to high SPF. I'm looking for something that won't give me a rash, the three above have been fine so far this year. But only used them a few times each so far.

Hope you find something that works for you.

wow, that's great. I'll see if I can get some samples or just go ahead and get one of those. Thanks for your help.

Ultrasun Sensitive skin SPF30 either the "standard" one ( which leaves a wee bit of a glimmer/sheen effect) or they also do a facial version. It's not cheap though - c.£18 a bottle, but it's a once a day application and worth it.

You can find it in John Lewis.

Dermalogica Solar Defence Booster is spf 30 and quite light. Doesn't sting the eyes out of your head either which is always a bonus Costs about £20 on purebeauty.com and lasts for months

'Prettybird: I just ordered some Ultrasun from amazon today! I have read amazing reviews and allegedly you don't need to wear a moisturiser with it. Looking forward to trying it (I have started a course of retinol so need to avoid sun).

You don't NEED to wear a moisturiser - although I'll sometimes put on a tinted moisturiser (I almost never use foundation) after the initial 45 minutes "reaction" time.

Dermaquest zinclear SPF 30. goes on quite slippery but as it settles on your skin is not even slightly greasy. The zinc is really healing. Make up doesn't pill on the top. Slight whitening on skin, but only in a nice way - like a good primer gives you a slightly reflective/even glow. Doen't break me out and recommended for use while having laser/peels/treatments.
