I use Elta MD spf 50. They are physical sunblocks. They have very high ratings. They are not greasy or thick feeling and they work well under foundations.

@jobiz , I have Neutrogena spf 60 for face, the one with Vitamin E.   It really disappears, and no shine or greasy feel.  Broad spectrum serum spf 60.    Was recommended here...I first bought for my mom.  Amazon has best price.

I was about to give up on sunscreens, most are so problematic for my skin.

The only other one I like, is Shiseido, hydrating in the tube.

For many years I used Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer Liquid SPF 70 until it got dc'd. I'm glad you posted about that one you use b/c it might just be the next best thing to the one I used for so long. Just to be sure, is this the one you use?

I'm also finishing up Naturium spf...but I don't like it much...I think it pills while applying foundation. 

Besides, something caused me to break out on one side of my cheek...then it started spreading to about 3 more, and I got infected.  It actually hurts, and a couple spots oozing.  I'm taking care of it, and it looks like it's trying to heal.  I'm about to see a dermatologist if it starts up.  I'm sooooo bruised, deep red.  So for now, I'm not using anything on that area...and I'm washing my face when get home too.   Never happened to me like this.

Was thinking maybe something I bought was contaminated,  but it didn't happen anywhere else on my face.

@ECBG , I have that neutrogena spf 70, I use on my body, but to me it's greasy.  I have to dust a baby powder over.  I think its the helloplex that makes it greasy. 

Have not found one sunscreen for body that's not greasy, or tacky...not one.

I use that exact one under my makeup.   My daily exposure to sun is very brief.

@jobiz I've recommended this sunscreen to a couple of girls on here and its my absolute favorite Smiley Happy! It wears beautifully underneath foundation, isn't greasy and has great sun protection and is affordable:

This is the liquid Neutrogena ss I used for eons. it was highly rated, went perfectly under makeup and felt light.  It was dc'd about two years ago. I'm wondering if they replaced it with the serum version?
