Hypoallergenic moisturizer with SPF... need suggestions.

Hello,

I have skin that is on the dry side, but not super-dry. Normally, my skin is not overly sensitive, but at times I do get dermatitis flare-ups, and I have recently experienced this so I have switched back to using Clinique makeup and skincare, at least for now. However, I had forgotten how much I dislike all the Clinique daytime moisturizers with SPF. I have tried every single one of them and they all feel very thick and leave my skin overly shiny. I am pleased with their makeup and other non-SPF moisturizers.

Does anybody have an recommendations for another brand of moisturizer with SPF that they like? I need to try to use something that would not be irritating to my skin right now.

Thank you.

I have ultra sensitive skin and have difficulties with sunscreen as they either seem to irritate my skin or break me out. Like you, I can't stand anything heavy or shiny. This summer I am using Mychelle Sunshield SPF 28 Unscented or Elta MD Physical SPF 41.

I am really enjoying the Paula's Choice physical sunscreen moisturizers I have tried. I thought the Hydralight was my favorite until I tried the RESIST Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense SPF30.

I have sensitive, combination skin and both of these leave great, shine-free finishes. A little goes a long way, too.

Also, I was able to use this 20% off coupon code to get this for $21.60 instead of $27 today:

And if you are new to PC and use this link, you'll get $10 off your order (and I will get a $10 credit). http://goo.gl/3YfI1Z

I have used the powder sunscreen from Bare Minerals in a pinch when I am out in the hot sun too long. It does work.

I have very dry, sensitive skin with a ton of allergies and issues. I use Dr.Denese Day cream. It is a moisturizer and sun screen in one. There is no scent and it does not dry out my skin or give me any type of reaction. Once I found this, I won't put any thing else on my face.
