XP: What face sunblock do you use?

[redheadbaker]

Crossposted since I'm not sure how many people visit the Makeup board anymore.

I need to replenish my face sunblock. I have normal (not very oily or very dry), am in my 40s. I was using Biore Aquarich Watery Essence but the reviews on Amazon say the formula has changed for the worse.

I've been using the Sun Bum Face 50 spf - www.sunbum.com/products/original-spf-50-sunscreen-face-lotion-3oz

[Vespasia]

Nivea Sun Protect Super Water Gel. It's very similar to the Biore.

This is a great set if you want to try the Elta MD. www.dermstore.com/best-of-dermstore-dermstore-x-skin-cancer-foundation-2021-sun-care-kit-1-kit/13126532.html

I use that or Unseen sunscreen from supergoop. I really prefer the unseen.

Color science. I like it a lot.

I’m still using the Biore in summers and am not discerning enough to notice any change. My winter fave is discontinued tho so I will have to find a new one

CeraVe Ultra Light moisturizer SPF 30

[Jalapeñomel]

I use Elta MD

Supergoop Unseen is the absolute best for me with dry sensitive reactive skin. Canmake Mermaid skin is also great. Both at least 40spf.

I use oil of Olay sensitive skin moisturizer with spf 15 on days I’m barely going to be out. Or just out a short time. The supergoop and mermaid skin is $$.

I also used to use the Biore but the reviews scared me off. I'm now using Glossier Invisible Shield, which has a very serum/gel-like texture. I also just tested Supergoop's Unseen Sunscreen and really liked the light feel, so I might try that next!

I bought this recently for DH, after a recommendation on ML.

I am using whatever he had before (Cerave, I think), and hated...I just didn't want to waste it. I will switch to what he's using once that runs out.

I also used to use Biore but switched to this: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WE3XGAC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Not greasy and doesn't make me break out.

I am still using the Biore watery essence. But I also like the Supergoop for face - both are SPF 50.

Supergoop

[wambam]

Elta MD clear - acne prone skin

[breezy8407]

Supergoop primer for day to day, and Sun Bum Face 50 when I am going to be in the sun more than usual.

[InBetweenDays]

I also used to use the Biore and LOVED it and would never burn. But I've gotten a slight burn twice now with the recent bottle I purchased. So glad you posted this because I was thinking I had just gotten a knock-off version from Amazon.

[Aloe Vera]

Paula's Choice non-greasy SPF 50 www.paulaschoice.com/extra-care-non-greasy-sunscreen-spf-50/232.html
It is cruelty free.

Another vote for Supergoop Unseen

I am outside a lot in the summer. So I really struggle with not getting a tan on my face.

I have started using Ilia skin tint as part of my face routine. It is the best consistent sunscreen I have ever used. SPF 40.

Then I use Neutrogena face bar for in between applications.

[picksthemusic]

I use CeraVe AM SPF30. It's fine - I use it in conjunction with their Vitamin C serum and hyaluronic acid cream and it works well for me.

[redheadbaker]

Thanks, all! I got the set that Alps79 recommended, since it had a few of the recommendations listed here. I'll try each and decide which one works best for me

I used Elta MD Clear for 2 years. I just switched to Elta MD UV Elements - Tinted and I really love it. I use it, my husband, and our two kids, we all have different colors of skin and all really like it. I wear it every single day.

[irishbride2]

Laura Mercier tinted for daily use, super goop for stronger.

[bronxgirl]

I started using Supergoop Unseen after I received it in my FabFitFun box. So far I like it.

I just started using Unseen and I really like it. I’ve liked all the supergoop products I’ve tried.

[tiramisu]

I'm still using Paula's Choice Defense Essential Glow Moisturizer with SPF 30. It's all mineral/physical sun blockers. I have been wanting to try something with SPF 50, but a lot of chemical sunscreens irritate my skin.
