You don't have issues with it pilling? I got tired of it so switched. Maybe just not a good match w/my moisturizer. |
| The best daily sunscreen is ISDIN photo Eryfotona Actinica. It’s 100% mineral sunscreen (spf 50), ultralight, reverses sun damage, and doesn’t leave your face white. You can apply makeup over it and your face doesn’t feel heavy. It was recommended by my dermatologist. My MIL used to use Elta and switched because she thought it was so much better. |

Reapplying liquid sunscreen over makeup is a mess.
My derm recommended the Colorescience powder and I love it for this purpose. I keep one in my purse and my car. https://www.colorescience.com/collections/sunforgettable-powder-sunscreen/products/sunforgettable-total-protection-brush-on-shield-spf-50 |
No, I don’t have that issue. |
| Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen is amazing. It really does feel like a velvety primer. No smell, no white cast, works well under make up. |
Milani makes an SPF makeup setting spray now. I use that to reapply. |
| Your face isn’t tanning. You likely have melasma, and that is largely hormonal. While sunlight can exacerbate it, your current sunblock routine is fine. Big glasses and a hat might help, too. |

I like this one. I am 40 and have dry skin. No cast. no pilling.

I’m not the PP, but I have pilling issues with it. |
Supergoop also has a SPF powder. I like it a lot and use it for touch ups during the day. |

OP here. Thank you so much everyone! I have my annual Derm visit in 2 weeks so I will ask about melasma. Depending on what she says I will try either the elfa or the supergoop unseen. Thanks again! I actually don’t wear foundation (except a touch up under my eyes) so I could theoretically reapply and avoid near my eyes.
Thanks again! |
I find the colorscience brush on sunscreen powder is really helpful for this - just brush it on over makeup before you go outside. |
I am south Asian and I use Elta MD UV Clear and their new UV Sheer. Neither of them leaves a white cast. I always think UV sheer is going to, but it disappears after a few seconds. |
Thanks so much to you and the others who responded! |
Me too. Goes on smooth like silky lotion. Not sticky. |
