Sunscreen with moisturiser

9 replies

I've started using Retin A and it's essential to wear a high factor sunscreen. I can't be bothered with 3 stages....... Moisturiser, sunscreen and foundation. I'd like a sunscreen with enough moisturising to cut out stage 2.
Can anyone recommend one that doesn't leave the ghostly white look? I have dryish skin.

La Roche posay (sp?) have a tinted moisturiser with SPF 50... I've just started using it , it's a bit runny but I use my fingers to apply and a brush to blend and that works well.
Primer on top, then my usual foundation and powder.
5 minutes in the morning.

I love the Clinique city block, doesn't go on white, and it never gives me spots or irritation. Kiehl's also do a great one, but it is quite expensive, I preferred it to the Clinique, but it is heavier.

The dermatologists warn to be careful of the moisturisers - they are no good for anyone who spends more than few minutes outside.

I'm wearing something a real SPF 30 at the moment and I don't look ghostly white.

ps make sure your foundation doesn't rub off the sunscreen!

I sue City Block over moisturiser and under foundation. Have done for 20 years and have no wrinkles or age spots.

Estee Lauder do a Day Wear sunscreen SPF 50 which is also slippy enough to use a moisturiser and I am also using that though it is a chemical sunscreen not a barrier one like the Clinique.

Another option OP is a BB cream with SPF- Bobbi Brown BB cream is SPF£% though you do need to re apply over the day- it doesn't last.

SPF 35
