What do you recommend for a great and effective sunscreen for oily skin (for the face) that will not cause blemishes? It's ok if it's expensive.

I have very light skin also. I have clear skin, but it's oily and spf usually causes a blemish (on my chin). I can barely use moisturizer. But, spf is important!!0

My girlfriend likes the Olay SFP 15 Sensitive Skin Face Lotion. Not sure if you were looking for something for daily use or a more powerful one for a day out.

I would look for brands that are labeled noncomedogenic and oil free.0
-
I like Biore moisturizers, they tend to have spf in them if you don't need it stronger than 15.0
-
All recommendations are helpful. SPF 15 is better than not using any, so if that works and I use it then it's good.0

Have you tried Algenist or DDF? These are two of my favorite products right now:
Algenist Regenerative Anti-Aging Moisturizer with SPF 20
DDF Advanced Moisture Defense Cream with SPF 15
If you are near a Sephora they should be able to give you a sample of either one if you ask.
I have very pale skin, combination oily/dry. There are very few moisturizers that don't drive my chin or nose crazy.
Good luck!0 -
Thanks! Those sound great! I love Sephora and forgot I can get samples there.0

Eucerin for the face. 8.99 at Walgreen's. 30 SPF, I believe. It's the only thing that doesn't make my skin get cranky.0

Neutrogen Clear Face, break-out free sunscreen. I have oily skin and this works well for me. Available almost anywhere sunscreen is sold (at least in the U.S.A). Price is reasonalble.0

Lots of great options so far. Thanks!0

Oil of Olay makes a great one - Oil of Olay Complete All Day UV Moisture (SPF 15) Sensitive. I use it every day and normally have pretty oily skin, this doesn't make it worse at all and has never caused me to break out. I don't know if they have a higher SPF though. It costs about 10$ a bottle. :P0

I've bought a ton of expensive skin products, but what I am really liking now is the Olay Regenerist SPF 50. I did a lot of research and decided to try it. It's amazingly light for SPF 50, and works like a light moisturizer. I haven't broken out from it. I'm very, very fair, pretty sensitive, and more oily than not, if that helps.
The other thing that I found really protects against sun damage (even from burning to an extent) is a good C serum, and I use the Obagi 20%. Now THAT is not cheap, but worth it IMHO.0 -
My dermatologist recommended the broad spectrum SPF by Oil of Olay.0
-
I also would recommend Olay. I love the Complete All Day Moisturizer, it has a SPF of 15 and you can get t for Oil, Dry or Normal skin.
Don't forget your neck!0 -
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch 55 - It's good.
However, my anestitiian now has me hooked on this stuff - Dermalogica brand, oil free SPF 30. It does a great job and doesnt make me break out. I am pretty sure you'll need to get it a a salon, but worth the effort and price.
p.s. I have oily skin also0 -
Neutrogena has a great sunscreen specifically for the face. Non-oily. I highly recommend it. Their Helioplex technology is really, really good.0
-
I use Aveeno Positively Radiant and really like it. It's only a 15, but it's the best I've found so far.0
-
I use obagi. WONDERFUL but expensive and efficient.
Nu-Derm Sun Shield Matte Broad Spectrum SPF 50

I have very fair, sensitive skin, dark hair and blue eyes. No sun screen = boiled lobster. I have found Aveeno to be a great sunscreen. I usually put on 30 or 50 SPF to go running and 15 for the rest of the day.0
