Suncream for oily/spot prone skin?

Question

I hate using suncream on my face as it does nothing for my oily t zone, can anyone recommend any good suncreams specially designed for oily skin on the face which won't make me break out?

Answer 1

I am the same, you need to buy sunscreens that are "oil free."

If they are described as non greasy, but still have oil in them then they are no good.

It doesn't matter what brand it is. Just look on the pack and it will say if it is oil free or not. If you can't find it in a supermarket or pharmacy, just google oil free sunscreen and order it over the internet. I am yet to find one above SPF 15 plus.

Answer 2

The best sun block/cream for the face is in my opinion Clinque's 'city block' SPF 40. It's just for the face and eyes and it oil free, it lasts for ages too. You could also use a tinted moisturiser or most make-up foundations have an SPF in them already

Answer 3

most face lotions and makeups now days have spf in them already.  try anything with minerals (a natural sunscreen) or lotions with spf that are oil free or noncomedogenic.

I love j/a/s/o/n organics red tea leaf...you can get from any health food store...it's light weight and perfect for oily skin...i think it is spf 15 or 25..either way, your face does not need a high spf, esspecially if you wear makeup with spf in it as well.

A friend in California uses Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch.  Not oily - and it gets mighty hot in Ca.

It is on sale in UK

Answer 5

I have very oily skin. When I went on vacation to a warmer climate it was horrible. I felt like I was melting. I was breaking out and oily all over my face. Then I tried my daughter's Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer with soy. It has an SPF of 15. I also used the foam face wash and it made my face so fresh and gave it a much smoother tone than I had before. It got rid of the spots in a few days and I could even use it with makeup. If you need a stronger SPF Aveeno has products with 45 and higher SPF.
