My skin is shiny and oily at the best of times, sun cream makes it much worse. Is there a facial sun cream that won't make me look like an oil slick and give me spots?

The LA Roche posay cream in the tube is good. It dries very matte though and be sure to brush through your eyebrows otherwise you will have white patches :-)

La Roche-Posay's matte one for acne prone skin made me break out all over my face. It was awful.

I like Clinique City Block.

Didn't get chance to come back on yesterday.

hummmm. does LA Roche posay block your pores? I have only just sorted out my skin with the fabulous Superdrug Hot Cloth Wash thanks to lots of help from Mumsnet so I don't want to ruin my skin again.

Isn't City Block tinted? I tried a tinted BB cream last year and it was a really funny colour on me.

My city block isn't tinted. I have rosacia and blepharitis. It doesn't trigger flare ups of either on me but everyone is different. I have seen travel/sample sizes on amazon, eBay etc

I use the spf 40 city block and I love it. I've got similar skin to you and it hasn't caused any break outs or flare ups. It does have a slight tint in the tube but goes on without looking like it (I'm really pale and the city block doesn't change my skin tone at all). Highly recommended.
