SPF moisturizer recommendations please

tucsongal — Thu, 16 Mar 2017 04:25:48 GMT

It seems like every product I settle on gets discontinued or changed. The latest is Paula's Choice Resist spf 25, which I know a lot of people didn't like but it was working for me. I'm trying the PC Hydralight, but it feels dry even when I use a moisturizer or her oil underneath it. Her other spf products that I've tried either had a bad smell(to me) or didn't work well with my concealer.

For years I used Olay SPF 30, but when they improved the sun protection the formula changed. So, I'm looking for something that is unscented, SPF 30, and works well with concealer on top. I don't wear foundation. Simple right? I would welcome suggestions.

I like CeraVe moisturizer for day time; it has spf of 30. I don't know how it works under a concealer.

I think I tried this at one time but I can't remember why I didn't stick with it, LOL. I do use the PM moisturizer sometimes, so may have to try it again. Thanks.

Oil of Olay has a nice one. I believe it is 30 spf but don't quote me. The one I am using is Oil of Olay, sensitive skin formula and I think it is only 15. I believe Neutrogena has one, also.

I use Skinn Daily Defense. There's no greasy feel, no white residue and it works wonderfully under my makeup. If I need a little more moisture, I add a little bit of a heavier cream or a few drops of argan or jojoba oil.

Another vote for Skinn Daily Defence. i just ordered more over the weekend when Evine had free shipping. This is coming from soneone who hates suncreen. They make my eyes burn or have that greasy feeling. This is good.

@tucsongal Try Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer UV

Daily Facial Moisturizing Lotion With SPF 30 from La Roche Posay. Available at their own website, some drugstores (CVS for one) and some ULTA stores. The web page also offers great information for care/tending of various skin types.

This is a chemical sunscreen, right? How about a mineral sunscreen?

Elta MD sunscreens are terrific. I use Elta MD SPF 41 - a slightly tinted mineral (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide) broad-based sunscreen. Elta MD's sunscreens/moisturizers also come in clear if you're looking for that. My dermatologist initially recommended Elta MD 41 to me because she uses it herself (and no, she sells no products in her practice, so she had no ulterior motive in recommending it).

Hi Tucsongal2

I really like Devita Solar Protective SPF 30+. I have sensitive ,combo acne prone skin and finding a sunscreen that works has been a chore over the years . Devita is a mineral sunscreen ; titanium dioxide free , no gmo's no nano technology and is safe for children and adults .It is also paraben free , safe for those with gluten sensitivity 100% vegan and cruelty free . They also have one for the body . You can but it from their website or places like VitaCost, WholeFoods or some local healthfood carry the brand. I like it because I can wear it alone or under my makeup . It is one of the few sunscreen that did not leave a white cast on my face or break me out and . Good luck in your search

Hi marmarbrooklyn. I used Devita Solar Protective Moisturizer SPF 30 for years and loved it until their formula changed. It started leaving white balls of zinc oxide on my face and was hard make it blend into my skin. I bought several more tubes of it hoping they were resolving the problem, but I finally gave up. I loved that sunscreen before those issues started happening. I'm hoping they've fixed the problem and I can go back to using it again. Do you think the product goes on smoothly now without leaving white, visible residue on your face?

I use Dr. Denese day cream. It's an SPF, day moisturizer and also balances out skin. Im in the 40+ and holding age with sensitive skin and issues. This works for me. It looks like your skin but better and protects. I won't use anything else. It works for me.

@Fressa

Do you find the tint to be a good color for you? Would you describe it as "light"?

Re: SPF moisturizer recommendations please

Fressa — Thu, 16 Mar 2017 14:55:20 GMT

It seems to match your skin tone similar to the LG Balance & Brighton. I am very fair. I ususally have a problem with products looking to dark or yellow. This looks dark in the jar or tube but it blends into your skin and disappears. It just looks like your skin.

I've tried other products but the protection and the look of my skin is the best in the Dr. Denese line.

Wow, thanks everyone for the responses and suggestions. My skin must be getting drier because I've never had to use a moisturizer plus sunscreen before.

Re: SPF moisturizer recommendations please

Texasmouse — Thu, 16 Mar 2017 14:57:07 GMT

@Fressa

Do you use the regular one or the oil-free one?

Re: SPF moisturizer recommendations please

Fressa — Thu, 16 Mar 2017 15:02:47 GMT

I use the regular one. I have dry skin.
