| Looking for a reasonably priced ($35 or under) facial sunscreen that feels light and won't break me out. I loved the Apostrophe sunscreen but they went out of business. I've been using the trader Joe's mineral sunscreen and like the feel and texture but the smell is off to me...it almost has a faint BO smell so I need something else! |

La roche posay or neutrogena are great and for sensitive skin. It doesn’t burn your eyes and works for different types of skin.

| Eucerin makes a sunscreen. I've worn it for years; very sensitive skin with slight tendency to rosacea. Scentless. Doesn't bother my eyes. |

Just ordered this Korean facial sunscreen on Amazon per my dermatologist’s recommendation. It was $13:

| I like Elta Md but fwiw my sensitive skin also does fine with regular neutragena ultra sheer. I just prefer the elta md. |

I found Anessa by Shiseido based on recs to look at asian sunscreens on this and other forums. I had tried good, and TJs, Elta, and every other "good for oily skin" sunscreens that are generally recommended, and hated them all. They all made me feel like i had rubbed crisco on my face. The anessa one feels invisible within 2 minutes of applying.
When i go to asia, this is a legit brand that is front and center of every midrange drug store and beauty store, so nothing shady about it. It's just that apparently the FDA has been stuck in pergatory and hasn't approved any new spf ingredients for 30 years so we're stuck with 1980s icky technology while the rest of the world moves forward. |

Trader Joe’s invisible gel sunscreen is good! They now have a body version as well.
I also like Neutrogena and eucerin. |

| La Roche Posay. Lots of formulations. Our dermatologist recommends it. It blends into my skin easily and doesn’t make me break out. Even my teen son uses the brand. |

Have you tried the not-mineral TJs facial one? I really like it. This:

I love Youth to the People’s Youthscreen ($30) for my first facial sunscreen application each day. I apply it as the last step in my morning skin care routine and then apply my makeup.
Throughout the day, I reapply using Supergoop’s Resetting Powder ($35). I keep one in my car and one at home so I can reapply as needed. |

| EltaMD is what I use, recommended by my derm. I’ve also had a decent experience with supergroup unseen sunscreen but it seems more expensive per oz and my main use case for it is travel or body when going out dressed up |
