I use it every day, sometimes multiple times per day. It's light and non-shine-producing.

Wasn't this one on the top 10 bad sunscreens?

Interesting, thanks for noting this. I looked it up and found that it is in fact listed here: http://www.ewg.org/2015sunscreen/hall-of-shame/ presumably because it has a high SPF and contains oxybenzone. Neither of those concern me particularly, and I need something that costs $12 rather than $40 a bottle, so I'm sticking with it until I find something better that fits my budget.

OP here. Thank you all! After researching a bit, I narrowed the list to La Posey and MD Elta, and ultimately bought Elta from a physician office yesterday.

Not Op, but where do you buy it from? Thanks.

CVS or Rite Aid. LRP usually has its own shelf, right next to Vichy.

Yes, keys is also a daytime moisturizer plus sunscreen. Clean ingredients. Makes life very easy.

You need 1/4 tsp of sunscreen for it to be effective. Its very hard to get the correct amount if you use a powder.

Just saw this too:

Powder sunscreen goes over makeup

Do any of these double as moisturizer, or do you apply both moisturizer and sunscreen?

This is my favorite!!!! High quality non chemical sunscreen that doesn't leave s white cast. WIN!

CVS Clear Zinc Sun Lotion SPF 50. I am a dark skinned AA (MAC NC50) and this is what I use. You have to give it time to absorb (you're supposed to apply your sunscreen 15 minutes before you go outside anyway) but it dries matte and invisible for me.

I love it. I use it now by itself or under my makeup instead of primer.
