Elta MD has been great for my sensitive skin. They have one specific for your face and another one for the bod.

Hi @draculasmermaid! I highly recommend Sonya Dakar Daily Shield SPF 30 for everyday use. It is not greasy at all, works well under makeup, and a little goes a long way. I havenโ€™t had a major breakout in a while and I attribute it to switching to higher end skin care like Sonya Dakar products.

Have you tried Murad City Skin Age Defense spf 50? It doesn't break me out & no white cast. It's the only sunscreen that hasn't made my face look like an oil slick.

I normally breakout with all sunscreens. The only one I havenโ€™t had an issue with is drunk elephant!

Hi @draculasmermaid, just popping in with one more recommendation for you: the Tarte Tarteguard is also a nice lightweight mineral sunscreen that comes in both a lotion version, and now a powder as well!

@draculasmermaid I'm trying the Farmacy Green Screen right now and I really like it... it's a physical sunscreen and Farmacy is CF. There's a Sephora promo code right now (CLEANSKIN) if you want to try it out.

Second the Green Screen! Iโ€™ve been really loving it - it doesnโ€™t make my oily face more oily and hasnโ€™t broken me out. I have a slight white cast with it, but so far itโ€™s the best physical, clean, cruelty free sunscreen Iโ€™ve tried!

Re: Sunscreen that won't break me out? That is cruelty free?<3

This is what I use as well. I always prefer mineral over chemical sunscreens, chemical sunscreens are just blah for my skin.
