What is the best sunscreen, of any kind, you've ever used?

 

What is your favorite moisturizer with sunscreen?

 

Tinted sunscreen? 

 

Lately I just get a tube of whatever sunscreen is available at the supermarket. Now I'm specifically looking for something that isn't greasy, and doesn't leave a white cast. I also want to try tinted. Right now I'm using a sample of innisfree Daily UV Defense Sunscreen. I like it so far, makes my skin feel so soft.

My favorite tinited spf for face is Dior dreamskin Fresh & Perfect Cushion spf 50.  Its pricey but it comes with a refill.  So it's actually 2.

 

My other face spf is only spf 15, Hourglass primer (no tint but has blurring abilities).

 

For my body-- I like the Neutrogena line that is sheer and more like body lotion than sunscreen.  They offer it in lotion, spray, for face, waterproof and different spf levels.

 

So far I don't have a face moisturizer with SPF that I am using.  Still on the look out for that.

Not any kind of mineral sunscreen for me. That kind always gives me a ghostly cast and I've tried many brands. No one will convince me to try it again so I use chemical sunscreens and I'm happy with that. I use an Asian sunscreen (made in Japan) which contains ingredients not used in brands over here. This one I get from Amazon:

@SnowOwl79   Right now I'm testing out DRMTLGY Universal Tinted Moisturizer SPF and the Untinted version. 

 

They both seem to do well under foundation and the tinted one has enough coverage that I wear it w/o foundation, just a bit of concealer. 

 

I also have the ELTAMD spf. I'm always trying and testing. Lol

For face, Mad Hippie, all physical sunscreen and very lightly tinted.

I'm going to look up the Dior. What I have used by Dior, I've liked.

 

I had that Hourglass primer on my wishlist a few years ago. I've had to use the bare minimum of product due to time constraints of late. Now I can try some things I want. 

 

Since I now have time now for a garden, the sprays are something I'll need. Easy and quick to put on. Thanks so much.

The past 2 summers I've used Thrive sunscreen and I really liked it.  No messy whiteness on your skin, works well and made in the USA.  I got mine on Amazon.

As far as a daily moisturizer, I use Aveeno with SPF most of the time for my face.

I hate sunscreen.  If I have to use it, I use Tula.

@Shanus I'll look into those, too. 

 

I was just looking at the ELTAMD line last month as their products were highly rated and had plans to look at it as well. Have you tested it yet?  I like trying out new things as well and since I use a lot of sunscreen I'll check on Sephora for theirs.

 

@Shelbelle I've seen that line, I'll look it up. Thank you for reminding me of it.

Re: Your Favorite Sunscreen?

I use the Elta MD physical sunscreen broad spectrum 30+.   Started using after it was included in a treatment package from my Derm (after a radio frequency treatment).   I really like it and it doesn't leave a noticeable white cast on my light skin.  Goes on smoothly and blends easily.  I put on a lot at a time.  It's a re-purchase for me.  

If my dog doesn't like you, neither do I.
