Great oil-free/spf moisturizer for summer months?

(0) Hearts

I have combo skin (oily t-zone) and currently use Philosophy's Hope In A Jar--love it! For the upcoming summer months, I'm looking for a great moisturizer with spf. So many to choose from, thought I'd get some recommendations and opinions from you gals.

 

I do own Laura Mercier's Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer (love!) but looking for something without tint.

 

Thanks in advance!

I have very oily skin and have been using Philosophy's oil free hope with SPF 30.  I also recommend Perricone's More than Moisturizer SPF 30.  Neither of these add to oiliness or clog pores.

i would suggest you to use separate face cream and spf cream because the combined one is 1.tend to have low spf 2.strong spf odor 3.usually shiny/sticky residue 4.reduces effectiveness of face cream ingredients. here are some suggestions of spf cream: amore pacific natural protector spf30, iqqu beauty advance sunscreen spf50, clarins bright plus spf40, clinique derma white super city block spf40, isa knox 365 spf45, kate somerville serum sunscreen spf55. For face cream you can try boscia's oil free moisturizers. The oil free day does contain spf15 but it's non sticky so you can layer spf cream over it. Another great product face cream is amore pacific moisture bound refreshing complex (oily skin) in neiman, or moisture bound hydra gel (normal/combo) at sephora.

I've been using Bliss's Fabulous Face Lotion with spf 15, its moisturizing but is non greasy which is perfect for my oily t-zone.  I love that it is paraben-free too!  Here is the link: http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P268101&shouldPaginate=true&categoryId=4326 , good luck!!

Clinique Moisture Defense SPF 25 give hydration plus sun protection.  Or if you like Hope in a Jar, you could add something like Peter Thomas Roth Instant Mineral Powder to your regime- this is a powder sunscreen that you dust on after your makeup and it gives SPF 45 protection. It comes in brush applicator so you can carry it in your purse for touch ups.

I love Josie Maran's argan oil + spf!  It sinks right in.

Philosophy's Hope Oil-free SPF 30 works well, and doesn't make you feel greasy.
