Your favorite daily high SPF for face

[Anonymous]

I like Cerave AM (SPF 30). The other ones are just way too expensive and I would probably end up not using enough. It's $10.99 for 3 ounces, so a lot cheaper.

I use my normal moisturizer underneath and reapply the spf throughout the day. No burns, no breakouts, and very few freckles gained this year.

I have been trying to do better about sunscreen and this is the key piece I'm terrible at. I want to set my face and forget it as I go about my daily life. I think re-applying is probably the best way to do this. I do layer products with SPF in the morning sometimes (a moisturizer with SPF and a stand alone SPF) but my face still gets too much sun. Hats would help too, but again it's just not in my daily routine to wear one.

Question for all: do any of these leave white cast? I am South Asian and want to avoid that if possible.

Another vote for the Elta MD Clear. But you need to reapply throughout the day and wear a hat if you are still tanning.

This is what I use for everyday casual exposure (not for spending a lot of time outdoors).

Any recommendations for a mineral face sunscreen? I struggle to reapply during the day and find even driving around I’m getting too much sun exposure.

No, Elta does not leave a white cast. It’s the perfect sunscreen.

Biore and most of the other Japanese sunscreens don't leave a white cast. The Elta MD doesn't either, though I seem to be the rare outlier for whom the Elta Clear is an acne trigger.

I love Olay Complete. My skin looks fantastic!

Another vote for Elta. I use the clear for running and then the tinted under makeup.

Nars Smooth & Protect Primer!

It is SPF 50, broad spectrum, but the consistency of the product makes it special. It truly doesn't leave a white cast and is designed to "blur" big pores or fine lines.

I put this on SUPER thick and at my lunchbreak I just wipe my face with a damp paper towel and reapply. Since there's no white cast and it has that glorious primer consistency, I can even do this without looking in a mirror if I must.

I'm super pale at 42 due to using Retin A since I was a teen and having to protect my skin from sun. This is the best "sunscreen" I've ever used.

I live in the EU and they have stricter regulations for sunscreen here, so I am comfortable that it is accurately UVA/UVB protecting.

NOTE: OP, you are still tanning because you aren't applying the sunscreen thick enough. Most people don't. And don't forget to reapply.

Where do you get your Japanese biore sunscreen? I love it but worry about fakes on Amazon.
