Octinoxate 7.5 %, octisalate 5.0 % and zinc Oxide 10 %.
Those are the ingredients in the SkinMedica Total Defense and Repair broad spectrum spf 50 +. Im staying in today and didn't apply any additional sunscreen other than what's already in my daycream... going to see how my skin feels as the day goes on without it.
I dont want to pester you, please take your time...I really appreciate your knowledge. Thank you!!
Generally oxides can have a drying effect especially if your skin is already dry anyway. Oxides are minerals and absorb moisture/oil. There's another ingredient in that Skinmedica SPF product which might contribute to dry skin and that ingredient is silica located in the upper deck. Silica is mainly used as a mattifier (absorbs oil) and also as a thickening/suspending agent (keeps other things from settling). Silica ...not the same as silicone.
@SilleeMee , Wellll, thank you verrry much!! I don't see a way around it, so im going to use a richer daycream. I appreciate all responses from everyone.
@SilleeMee , I can't tell you how grateful I am to you...you always save the day!!😃. Have a beautiful day!!

Reporting back....today I didn't put on any sunscreens, or foundation. I just applied my usual serums, and moisturizer, I spritzed with the Heritage rose glycerine mist. Skin feels perfect! After speaking with @SilleeMee , I'm thinking it's in the ingredients of my sunscreens, then my foundations have added spf...thats causing the dryness. Gosh, I never had so many issues with skincare, or make up😑. I'm still going to try other richer moisturizers to help combat this annoying problem. I have to have a sunscreen on. Thank you everyone for your replies!!

I recommend trying a sunscreen that is mineral only using zinc oxide only, I just bought the new one from Mad Hippie.

CeraVe PM is my favorite daytime moisturizer but I only use it under my sunscreen if my sunscreen isn't moisturizing enough by itself.
