I've had great luck with it and the fact that it's budget friendly is a big bonus for me. I don't have any suggestions for an eye cream, but when I was looking for a moisterizer with SPF, I did a lot of research on this site:</p> <p><a href="http://beauty.about.com/" rel="nofollow">http://beauty.about.com/</a></p> <p>I was still a little confused after all that reading so I emailed the guide with my questions; she's the one who recommended the Eucerin. There may be some information there about eye creams. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oily-skin-and-sunscreen#post-90616 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 14:08:10 +0000 shannon 90616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, Karlie and Chris I love love love the Eucerin sunscreen. No more shine and no more breakout!!! I had made an appointment with my derm, but I canceled it because I've solved my own problems thanks to you guys. I love when an inexpensive brand does the trick! I'm finding more and more that they do. Now just to find an inexpensive eye cream. That is one thing that I have not had any luck with. Any suggestions there? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oily-skin-and-sunscreen#post-87744 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 22:02:32 +0000 shannon 87744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the suggestions! I went out and picked up the Eucerin Everyday Protection Face Lotion SPF 30. I decided to start with the less expensive brand. To tell you the truth I am afraid of anything that does not state non-comedogenic. Gee, I'm even afraid of the items that do! I was using Nuetrogena and Cetaphil and they made me break out. I am starting to think it's sunscreen in general that makes me break out. I stopped using it for the last week and my skin is already more clear. </p> <p>I was using powder over my sunscreen and foundation. I still had oily breakthrough within an hour. Which then lead to acne breakout. What a mess!<br /> Hopefully this stuff does the trick or I'm done with sunscreen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oily-skin-and-sunscreen#post-86730 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 00:33:10 +0000 shana 86730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use La Roche Posay's Anthelios sunscreen (one of the highest photostable ppd sunscreens on the market). I use the cream version because I have the opposite problem - very dry skin but I know they make a version for oily/acne prone skin as well that is a different consistency. I actually do layer some powder on top and find that the sunscreen almost acts like a primer so I get this great matte finish to my skin! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oily-skin-and-sunscreen#post-86615 Sun, 16 Aug 2009 04:35:42 +0000 Chris 86615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Eucerin spf 30 as well and always a bit of powder over to cut the shine. Chemical sunscreens usually break me out so I have tried about 100 different kinds (slight exaggeration but not by much). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oily-skin-and-sunscreen#post-86605 Sun, 16 Aug 2009 02:38:50 +0000 Anonymous 86605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As Loulou suggested, I brush a powder foundation over the sunblock. No shine at all then. I think my sunblock is the same one that you are using. Are you using the one for the face? I've also find that some of the shine goes away if I take a bit more time and rub it in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oily-skin-and-sunscreen#post-86518 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 16:43:09 +0000 shiny 86518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is this for every-day use, or for the beach? </p> <p>For every-day use, have you tried a moisturizer with SPF? Instead of a sunscreen? For example for decades I relied on Oil of Olay with SPF15. Recently I switched to Lancome Re-Energie with SPF - this stuff is doing amazing things to my skin! In the summer I add to it Almay Smart Shade tinted sunscreen, also SPF 15. The combo leaves my skin looking firm, even, and glowing. </p> <p>SPF 15 applied long before I go out the door is enough for every-day use to keep my face protected. If I go to the beach, then I haul out the more powerful sunscreen and reapply frequently. </p> <p>Incidentally, I have always had a problem with Cetaphil. I know it's supposed to be gentle and non-allergenic and all that, but when I use it I get itchy, irritated skin that goes into hyperdrive and produces too much oil. Soooo... it is NOT for everyone. You may be having a similar reaction to what I had. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oily-skin-and-sunscreen#post-86515 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 16:02:48 +0000 Louise 86515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find a swirl of face powder or blusher helps- sometimes needs topping up throughout the day but could help while you use up your current sunscreen x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oily-skin-and-sunscreen#post-86457 Fri, 14 Aug 2009 23:41:38 +0000 karlie 86457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the exact same problem and then someone recommended Eucerin facial moisterizer with SPF 30. It's feels great and doesn't leave my face greasy or shiny. I found it at Walgreens and it cost around $10. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oily-skin-and-sunscreen#post-86454 Fri, 14 Aug 2009 22:14:44 +0000 Tanya 86454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Someone recommended Peter Thomas Roth uber-dry SPF30 sunscreen to me. I also have very oily skin and it is the best one I have ever tried. It is a bit on the pricey side, but it so worth it in my opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oily-skin-and-sunscreen#post-86453 Fri, 14 Aug 2009 21:47:43 +0000 Anonymous 86453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Clarins sunscreen. It does not leave a shine. You can find it at most department stores with cosmetic counters.<br /> The Clarins sunscreen is very thin liquidy fluid and you only use a few drops to pat on your face.<br /> On my arms I use any regular drugstore brand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oily-skin-and-sunscreen#post-86452 Fri, 14 Aug 2009 21:42:23 +0000 shannon 86452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know wearing sunscreen everyday on your face is important, but it makes my face so greasy!!! I am currently using Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-touch sunblock. Still leaves my face shiny. I have also tried Cetaphil facial moisturizer with SPF 50. That was worse! Any suggestions? Is there such a thing as a sunscreen that leaves a matte finish? I'm about to give up and not wear it! </p>
