Suncream for oily skin

7 replies

With the recent heatwave I could
Probably do with getting myself a suncream to
Wear everyday. Not really into
Wearing foundation whilst it's so warm
So is there such thing as a non- greasy primer or something similar that someone can recommend? I'm olive / darker skinned anyway but am still concerned about protection.

I use what hazelnut suggested - it's good!

Don't get the clinique SPF 40 sunblock for oily skin - makes your matt skin oily and not a nice colour...

The MAC spf 50 primer is really good for oily skin. La Roche Posay Anthelios suncream is also pretty good.

A kindly MNer recommended Clinque City Block Sheer (SPF 25) to me, rather than the full coverage one and I love it. Also have oily skin, and this is a lovely dewy, very light cream, barely tinted at all. Don't think it's the same one as you were warned away from above!

Yes mine is the city block but higher SPF..........

Maybe my skin us too dark - I'm light olive/yellow tone

Will try it again tomorrow and let you know as I just chucked it in disgust!!!

Great thanks all. Will prob give the dermologica one a try as I get on quite well with their products. Like the fact it's not got a tint too- can sometimes look a bit ashy on my skin

Not sure about your budget but I'm having serious love for the La Mer sun cream. Very light, non greasy and not irritating my skin at all. Works as a primer too.
