A good one is Peter Thomas Roth Oil-Free SPF30. I use it on all my clients after laser treatments and its a great daily, sheer sunblock.
Omigod!...I was thinking I've never heard of this brand before, but yet the name sounds familar. I just realized I've been using his acne gel :shame::wacko: !...that my facialist recommended! Thanks for the recommendation, I'm going to try his sunscreen now.

LOL, no problem pursemama! Glad I could help out;)
 
always remember that whatever sunscreen you buy, it should contain at least one of the following as an ACTIVE ingredient:

avobnezone
titnaium dioxide
zinc oxide
Meryoxl (something)* not in US

avobenzoe is a synthetic sunscreen agent that works best for breakout prone skin.

titnaium dioxide and zinc oxide are natural ingredients that work better for non-breakout prone skin; can clog pores.

The reason you should always use one of these is that any other suncscreen agent will not provide adequate UVA and UVB protection. These are the only ones that tested high enough to be labeled 'full-spectrum' sun protection.

and you should wear a sunscreen everyday! best protection against the signs of aging!

I use Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch SPF 30. I love how it's not oily at all

I agree! This stuff is amazing. I like how it's matte because every other facial sunscreen makes me feel like I've covered my face with a stick of butter. For some reason, I find the SPF 45 formulation to be kind of greasy though.
 
I use California Baby. It has the micro zinc stuff. And it has this nice lemongrass scent. It's kind of white though and I look like a kabuki when I first put it on, but that stuff works great.
 
Shisedo, I've using it for years (body and face), really good stuff. But just bought LaRochePosay to try on the face, quite good, not as sticky and has a mat finish.
