Please recommend a facial sunscreen for a rosacea sufferer

I use Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish (without the muslin) and the Moisturiser for dry/sensitive skin. I still get major breakouts from time to time and my cheeks are red and sore most of the time but of the millions of products I've tried, LE seems to be the best.

Anyway, the moisturiser doesn't have and SPF and LE have discontinued the facial sunscreen so I wondered if you could offer any alternatives.

It must be non-greasy and with as fewer nasties as possible. Thank you.

I use the Body Shop Aloe Vera moisturiser with SPF 15 every day and it gives me very good sun protection. It's very light and has never aggravated my rosacea. In fact my skin is the best it's ever been using their Aloe Vera products and I've certainly tried loads Grin

I use Paula's choice, a US brand and swear by it, they have just launched a SPF30 mineral sunscreen, which has barrier not chemical sunscreen in it which I have just bought, haven't started using it yet but I am sure it will be fine as I have used their other sunscreen for ages and not had a reaction to it. www.paulaschoice.co.uk/

My Mum gets rosacea and swears by clarins Sun Wrinkle Control Cream For Face Very High Protection UVB/UVA 50+

I have very sensitive skin and also find it good.

I like invisible zinc (the tinted one has a good colour) again it's a physical not chemical barrier to minimise reaction www.cultbeauty.co.uk/invisible-zinc

Thank you for your advice, I'm at work at the moment but will have a look into all your suggestions later.

I have rosacea and use Clinique City Block, the high spf one. Horrible smell and not the best finish as it makes you look a bit pasty and shiny (they also have sheer version but haven't tried that). I find it effective though, and mix it with a bit of foundation for a more 'natural' colour.

I didn't realise Paula's Choice had a UK website, used to look up her recommendations a while back. I might give that a try.

PS missed the point in the original post about as few nasties as possible - judging by the length of the ingredients list I suspect that disqualifies the City Block!
