I don't know that it's been mentioned yet, but what kind of skin do you have. Oily? Dry? Sensitive? Do you have issues with redness? Wrinkles? Hyperpigmentation? You can find sunscreen that works with all kinds of issues.
Dry skin and OLD ;-) but don't like the greasy, sticky formulas. Have tried so many brands without great success yet.
Thanks Atlantis, I looked on Amazon.com but I only found SPF 85 in the Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch. Are there lower SPF versions (which probably don't have as much white stuff in them)? Maybe I should look somewhere else?
I haven't used the dry touch formula in Neutrogena yet--will try. Thought Walmart had the lower SPF.
I use Clarins something or other. Feels like nothing is on my skin. Perfect.
I’m a Blue eyed redhead so I am careful with sunscreen and will spend more.
OK folks, we were in to my husband's dermatologist yesterday for some small surgery and I asked him which goes on top - moisturizer or sunscreen. So here's the skinny, according to him, anyway.
The sunscreen goes on first, right out of the shower. The chemicals in the sunscreen need to be next to the skin. Moisturizer on top of that. For an off the shelf sunscreen, he likes Neutrogena.
I tried that method today and didn't like how it felt putting the sunscreen on first but I'll keep on with it. It's making my eyes water, though (and did yesterday when I put it on top of the moisturizer as well) so I don't know how long I'll be able to stand doing this before I have to switch brands. The dermatologist said sometimes you have to try and determine which ingredient is causing the eye watering (which sounds like an expensive thing to me).
You didn't say SPF requirement. I like the Oil of Olay moisturizer with SPF I get in a 2 pack at Costco.
It has a much nicer texture than the Neutrogena.

My daytime moisturizer has SPF 30 built right in. Cerave AM. Cheap but a great moisturizer and base sunscreen. If I’m out in the boat or in the sun full on...I use the Clarins. My makeup primer and light foundation also have sunscreens in them.
cerave SPF 30 AM daily moisturizer lotion. Not thick, and it is broad spectrum. Also, SPF 15 is the bare minimum you should use. Better to use 30 or higher
