Best UVA product for face?

Trying to decide between Clinique's City Block 40 and Sunsense Anti-ageing 50. This is to be worn mostly on face under make up. Any ideas anyone?

might help...

I don't mean to be ungrateful but that doesn't help in the slightest. Way too annoying to sit through 13 minutes of their babbling!!

Read yesterday that many brands of sunscreen don't do what they say on the tin. Much stricter laws in U. S..
But Vichy products did have the factor stated. Interesting. Try Vichy or La Roche Posay.

Funnily enough you do sound ungrateful

They do go on a bit though, don't they. Smile Just give us the info with less faff ladies.
Who are they?
Watched on iphone, found it difficult to understand the posh drawl.
What was their bottom line?

Ultrasun do a tinted face protector, SPF 30 with high UVA protection. I use it all the time, both alone and as a substitute for moisturiser/primer.

I'm currently using Skinceuticals Sheer Physical UV Defence. It's broad spectrum 50spf with titanium oxide and zinc oxide as the active ingredients.

I live somewhere v hot and so far I really like it. Doesn't leave too white a sheen on the skin.

Benefit dream screen spf45 is good under makeup and has a matte finish.

In case you are unfamiliar with Ultrasun, it is a once-a-day application protector. Very effective and suitable for sensitive skin.

I use factor 30 sunscreen from Forever Living and then put their aloe gel on top - works a treat and doesn't not leave your face greasy at all - doesn't even feel as though you are wearing sunscreen. Plus - the gel works as an after sun as we'll so added bonus....
