Need a genuinely non-greasy, non-shiny facial sunscreen

I've tried several but they all leave a shiny film on my face. Does anyone have any recommendations for one that doesn't do this? To make matters trickier, my skin tends to be dry rather than oily so some leave my skin feeling shiny AND tight!

I'm going to France for a few days next month so can pick up any recommended sunscreens that aren't available in the UK while I'm there.

Have you tried Ultrasun Face? Doesn't leave me with a big shiny face.

Use real sunscreen, not stupid city blocks in a cutesy weeny pot. Even dermatologists will tell you these are a con. They are designed for those plastered in beige makeup whose only sun exposure is lurching on their heels from office to loud restaurant.

Ambre solaire sport stuff is real, not greasy and only has a little bit of smell.

I found ultrasun face left me really greasy looking. Am also on the hunt for an alternative!

Did I say I used those? I said facial sunscreen, not moisturiser with sunscreen. There's a difference...

Look out for Acorelle and Organii when you're in France. Likely to be in health food shops.
