My skin is super sensitive and turns red and/or breaks out easily with facial ss. This one goes on smooth and not white plus is extremely mild with no stinging whatsoever. It says on the tube that it is for rosacea and sensitive skin.&nbsp; Its a pretty good price on amazon and also comes highly recommended on the interwebs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-spf-sunscreen-that-breathes#post-1664047 Fri, 20 May 2016 01:21:04 +0000 SandyG 1664047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hike at altitudes around Lake Tahoe and gave this a try the past 2 months in snow and sun, happy with it and can recommend it as a keeper. &nbsp;La Roche-Posay Anthelios 50 Mineral Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid for Face, Water Resistant with SPF 50, from Amazon. &nbsp;It's expensive and just for my face, but the minerals haven't made me break out and I haven't burned. My sensitive Celtic skin is prone to rosacea so I'm quite picky about sunscreens and don't like feeling sweaty or oily. For the body, I&nbsp;prefer sunblock clothing over sunscreen if it's longer than just a brief jaunt.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-spf-sunscreen-that-breathes#post-1664029 Fri, 20 May 2016 00:25:40 +0000 Thin White Duchess 1664029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like K.Period, I have taken to using Japanese brands. But when it comes to sweaty outdoor activities I rely on the "stick" kind (like a giant chap stick). It's absolutely not the texture you're going for, but for me it's the only thing that holds up to sweating. I hope you get some good recommendations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-spf-sunscreen-that-breathes#post-1664017 Thu, 19 May 2016 23:50:19 +0000 Classically Casual 1664017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm using a new to me sunscreen: SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense. It's SPF 50. It's pricey, but a thin liquid and it's tinted slightly. I only use it on face and neck. If anything, it feels drying on my skin and lasts all day.</p> <p>I love the sun, but I'm finally trying to change my ways. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-spf-sunscreen-that-breathes#post-1663895 Thu, 19 May 2016 18:02:16 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1663895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Neutrogena dry touch ones too, although I'm not sure how high an SPF I've used. I've heard good things about Elta MD and La Roche Posay Anthelios but haven't tried them myself yet. My current face sunscreen is an oil-based one from Supergoop; I really like it and it's not greasy at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-spf-sunscreen-that-breathes#post-1663893 Thu, 19 May 2016 17:57:57 +0000 Peri 1663893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried Neutragena Ultra Sheer <b>Liquid</b>? Not the original Ultra Sheer that came out first...the Liquid version came out after that. It is in a small bottle that you have to shake, with a rattling bead inside that helps it blend. I find it very light.&nbsp;</p> <p>It comes in a regular kind and a barrier kind for sensitive skin. I use the regular kind, and I do have reactive skin, and it has not given me any trouble. The regular is SPF 70 and the sensitive is SPF 55. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-spf-sunscreen-that-breathes#post-1663883 Thu, 19 May 2016 17:43:38 +0000 K. Period. 1663883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been buying Japanese sunscreens (from brands common in the US, like Biore and Shiseido) via Amazon and I think they have a better feel. &nbsp;Actually, I know they have a better feel, less greasiness and are much less sensitizing. &nbsp;I don't think you'll find many that have higher spfs than 50, though. &nbsp;It is my understanding that the advantage you get from super high spfs starts to top out around 50 and the higher concentrations of chemicals needed to increase the factor become too sensitizing. &nbsp;That's why most beauty experts and dermatologists just say reapply, reapply, reapply. &nbsp; &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-spf-sunscreen-that-breathes#post-1663869 Thu, 19 May 2016 17:27:01 +0000 karen13 1663869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clear Face is oil free and supposed to not cause breakouts -not a big problem for my mature, dry skin, but it seems to feel a bit better. I used to use the Ultra Sheer Dry Touch in spf 45, but found the higher spf 70 stung my skin. I haven't used it in a few years, so it may have changed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-spf-sunscreen-that-breathes#post-1663861 Thu, 19 May 2016 17:15:20 +0000 rachylou 1663861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is Clear Face the dry finish one? There's a dry finish type. The thing about sunscreen is, as soon as you start to feel oily, like it's slipping off, I think it means it has to be reapplied. Because it IS slipping off. I'm looking into sunscreen clothing because of this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-spf-sunscreen-that-breathes#post-1663853 Thu, 19 May 2016 17:03:10 +0000 karen13 1663853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am very fair with somewhat sensitive skin and I live at fairly high altitude. I'm looking for a better sunscreen with 50+ SPF that doesn't feel like I'm caked in oil when I am active and sweaty I hike a lot and can't stand the gooey feeling. I have been using Neutrogen Clear Face 55, which is ok, but I'm looking for better - higher protection, less mask feeling.</p> <p>Any recommendations? THanks! </p>
