I was alarmed at the formula change as well (I can't use avobenzone sunscreens on my face because they sting), and have emailed Olay to complain. Looks like we're not the only ones upset by the change (<a href="http://www.olay.com/reviews/readyourreviews.do?pid=co1007" rel="nofollow">http://www.olay.com/reviews/re.....pid=co1007</a>) </p> <p>I refuse to pay big money for sunscreens since you need to apply them liberally, so I have been looking for mineral sunscreens available in drugstores.</p> <p>For now I am using Eucerin Everyday Protection Face Lotion (<a href="http://www.eucerinus.com/products/face_eplotion.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.eucerinus.com/produ.....otion.html</a>) which is a combo zinc oxide/titanium dioxide product. It is not as light as the Olay, and goes on a bit white, but it does eventually absorb (takes a bit longer to sink in than the Olay). It's a bit more moisturizing, too, but for fall/winter at least that should be fine on my combination skin. The Eucerin is SPF 30 vs. the Olay SPF 15. I've decided I need the 30 after getting two pre-cancerous spots removed from my face--I was never a sun worshipper, and I've worn a good sunscreen daily since my early twenties (I'm early 40's now), but I do have a history of skin cancer on both sides of the family.</p> <p>You might also consider Paula's Choice Pure Mineral Sunscreen:<br /> <a href="http://www.paulaschoice.com/product/pure-mineral-sunscreen-spf-15/sun-care" rel="nofollow">http://www.paulaschoice.com/pr.....5/sun-care</a></p> <p>Good luck, and please share if you find something good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-help-needed#post-99826 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 02:19:20 +0000 medusa 99826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, thanks everyone! I have a bunch of good suggestions to look at. Fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-help-needed#post-99692 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 06:49:49 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 99692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since the end of August I have been using a Kiehl moisturiser - <a href="http://www.kiehls.com/_us/_en/face/moisturizers/ultra-facial-moisturizer-spf-15.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.kiehls.com/_us/_en/.....spf-15.htm</a></p> <p>No smell, broad spectrum and my skin has responded so well to it that I am going to check out there other products when I run out of cleanser etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-help-needed#post-99605 Tue, 06 Oct 2009 23:20:43 +0000 shana 99605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use La Roche Posay which unfortunately not does meet your requirements but back when I was researching, I remember liking this one from Clarins:</p> <p><a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P211011&#038;categoryId=S15211&#038;shouldPaginate=true" rel="nofollow">http://www.sephora.com/browse/.....inate=true</a></p> <p>There was also one from Cosmedicine that I liked. I was looking for one with high SPF (UVA &amp; UVB) and since my skin is dark, I really needed one that did not leave a white cast on my skin which really limited my options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-help-needed#post-99586 Tue, 06 Oct 2009 20:41:01 +0000 cciele 99586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Lavera products -- good quality, environmentally friendly products. </p> <p><a href="http://www.lavera.com/products/Anti_Aging_Facial_Sunscreen_SPF15_UVA_EURO_SPEC-842-1000014.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.lavera.com/products.....00014.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-help-needed#post-99466 Tue, 06 Oct 2009 06:36:12 +0000 Anonymous 99466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am using Clarins sunscreen on my face. It is very fluid and you use only a few drops to pat onto your face. I hav had no problem with eye burning at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-help-needed#post-99446 Tue, 06 Oct 2009 04:08:43 +0000 medusa 99446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could anyone help me find a new sunscreen?</p> <p>For years I've been using Olay complete moisturizer, sensitive skin. It was perfect, mainly because (a) it had no fragrance - scents irritate my skin, (b) it contained a physical block only (zinc oxide), so it didn't have a chemical-y sunscreen smell, and (c) it was light and non-oily.</p> <p>I just got a new bottle and they changed the formula! Now it has chemical blocks and has that gross sunscreen smell.</p> <p>Edit: Argh, I did it again - I put this quote in the body type section of the forum by mistake. Sorry everyone, clearly I need to go to sleep.<br /> What do you use? Any suggestions for a replacement that is fits my 3 criteria above? I would love help. </p>
