Sunscreen that's moisturising but non-greasy

I'm on the lookout for the holy grail of sunscreens - I've tried ones that are moisturising and although they feel fine on, I look like an oil slick! I've also tried matte finish ones like LRP Anthelios but although they aren't in the least bit shiny, my face feels dry and tight within a few hours.

Any recommendations for one that will leave my face feeling moisturised but not looking shiny?

I use piz Buin as it doesn’t have that greasy shiny feel to it. Can’t bear feeling all slicked up!

I love Nuxe delicious suncream. I live in Southern Europe and use a lot of suncream so this is now my go-to for the face.

Having said that, I don't mind a bit of shiny - I feel my skin a bit more dewy with some shine.... So not sure if i am best person to recommend.

Ive tried loads over the years though and Nuxe is my winner.

I like shine when it's dewy but most sunscreens for dry skin make my face look oily! And as my skin is dry, the matte ones feel really uncomfortable.

I find Ultrasun better than most.

Another vote for Ultrasun

Ultrasun!

I used Vichy ideal soleil spf 50 mattifying face fluid dry touch last summer. It is the first one that was not greasy or shiny and with no extra spots plus it worked no burnt face! Really worth the cost.

And it does leave a tight face.

NOT

Dermalogica Solar Defence Booster SPF 50 is incredible. It's meant to be mixed in with your moisturizer/foundation (though can be used on its own on an extra sunny day). My face feels no different than when I don't use it, and it's incredibly effective. I missed doing half of my face on a particularly sunny day and looked like a clown for the next week...

Biore watery essence. It's amazing. I wear it every day. You can get it on amazon

Skinceuticals is expensive but great. I use it as an everyday moisturiser. It really evens the skin out and you can get factor 50. I have spot prone skin and it is great on it. I’m not generally a big spender on lotions and potions but this is great.

Piz buin allergy works Amazing.
