face sunscreen

What face sunscreen would you recommend from Sephora? I need something that won’t clog pores and could be used with a moisturizer or as a moisturizer

@colleen182 I love SUPERGOOP! - Unseen Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 40

@colleen182 , I'd second the SUPERGOOP! - Unseen Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 40that @WinglessOne recommended.  It's really almost described as a sunscreen/primer in one and you can read the reviews and see that A LOT of people really love it.

I really like the Clinique one! It’s creamy, not sticky, smooth, and has a nice light scent. Great under makeup

I was going to mention two faves - both unfortunately expensive. The Shiseido one mentioned above. When I first put it on I felt like, I’ve made a huge mistake, but it dries down very soft and silky. The Shiseido spf with ‘wetforce’ is a little less pore friendly, I’ll be honest, but it also has a very nice finish and lasts. It’s the kind of thing you want to really wash off at night but your skin will feel good throughout the day. With a similar finish, a little more matte, is the tatcha sunscreen. Silky, matte, pore-minimizing. I got it in a bundle, I’m not sure if I would have bought it on its own. I know tatcha isn’t technically j-beauty, but it’s worth noting Tokyo has notoriously humid summers. My skin isn’t acneic but who doesn’t need a little matte magic during the summer right? So I look to Shiseido and less-available j beauty brands for summer staples.

I recommend COOLA - Full Spectrum 360° Sun Silk Drops SPF 30. It’s very lightweight, completely invisible, contains hyaluronic acid to help with moisturizing, and can be easily mixed with your moisturizer (and probably foundation, if you use any). A friend of mine often uses it as a moisturizer, which I haven’t tried; I always apply it atop a moisturizer. It doesn’t break me out or clog my pores. (For reference, I have combo skin.) It can sometimes feel a bit much for my oily nose, so I sometimes use a different sunscreen there (COOLA - Mineral Face SPF 30 - Matte Tint ). 

Another one one that works well for me all over my face is SUPERGOOP! - Unseen Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 40. I especially love using this under and above my eyes. I use this more often than Sun Silk Drops and haven’t experienced clogged pores, not even on the oil slick in the middle of my face.

@colleen182 I like the SHISEIDO - Urban Environment Oil-Free UV Protector Broad Spectrum Face Sunscreen SPF 42because it's so light, but it also has a ton of alcohol in it and it does leave a cast. On amazon I got one from Biore for about $12 that's been working well and is super light weight over my daily moisturizer with minimal cast but I'm still on the look for the "one" since I don't like the film all sunscreens seem to leave on me
