Sunscreen for oily and sensitive skin?

 Hi guys! I'm looking for a sunscreen that won't leave a whitecast and is suitable for oily and sensitive skin? Any suggestion is appreciated 🙂 

Re: Sunscreen for oily and sensitive skin?

Do you prefer a mineral or non-mineral sunscreen? I am combo-oily and use the Dr. Dennis Gross Sheer Mineral Spray SPF50, which only uses zinc because I'm kind of sensitive to the chemical sunscreens. If you plan on trying this, don't spray it on your face. Spray it into your hand and then apply it. It'll be oily feeling for a few minutes (5-8minutes) , but then will completely dry down. Also it doesn't have a white case on my NC25-30 skin. If you're darker than me, there may be a white cast because of the zinc. 

 

Otherwise, you probably will want to look into some chemical/non mineral  or tinted sunscreens to avoid the white cast. Peter Thomas Roth just came out with a tinted  mineral sunscreen SPF 45

Didn't know about mineral sunscreens leaving whitecast. Thank you! In terms of tinted suncreen some leave me looking ghostly (because it's grey or the wrong undertone). But I'll check out the Peter Thomas Roth one.

Did you by any chance happen to reply to the wrong post lol? I was asking for a sunscreen. But thank you I guess for the eye cream suggestion.

Hi @ShoilyF,

 

I love the Coola Full Spectrum 360° Sun Silk Drops SPF 30. It's great for all skin types and does not leave a white cast. I wear this under make up and alone. 

 

I hope this helps! 

 

Best Wishes,

 

Janean

My skin is combination and I have been using kiehl’s sunblock. It works really well on my skin.
