High SPF suncream for the face

Hughjass

I read on here ages ago about a suncream especially for the face that was a very high SPF, 50 I think, and was non greasy and matte and also suitable for under make up, I didnt write the product down and despite searching this morning I cant find the post anywhere, would anyone be able to help?

Some people will recommend clinique cityblock. I've tried it and found it weirdly much greasier than other moisturisers - it didn't agree with my skin either.

Will be interested to see if you get any other recommendations as I'd really like something I can wear under makeup!

If only I could find that post, I think it was from Boots, No 7 or Neutrogena rings a bell but I'm not sure, hopefully the OP will see this, I hear the Kiehls one is very good but its not very MSE http://www.kiehls.co.uk/body/by-category/sun-care-self-tan/cross-terrain-uv-face-protector-spf-50.aspx.

The best I have ever bought is this:

However I've always bought it in the US and Oz and unfortunately never seen it here. But if you can buy it off the US amazon or another website I would really recommend it.

Ill be searching for it myself in a couple of months for the summer!

Did you run an advanced search? I have responded to two threads on sunscreen in the last two weeks.

Thanks I saw those, they dont tell me the product I want, I have a feeling that it was a post in the middle of a thread about something different.

I did and it came up with virtually the same threads as the normal search, still cant find the product I am looking for just the Nivea ones keeps comming up but its only spf 15, I did find a thread that says mens products are less greasy but I hate the smell of mens products on me unless of course they are unscented, still searching...

You don't mean the one I mentioned? The make is Sunsense (Aussie brand) 'Daily Face' SPF 50. They do a few types but my family uses the tinted matt version(oily/combination skin)
Amazon sells the Sunsense range.

It wasnt but that looks good

I use the Soltan face ones, I have tried countless high spf facial sunblocks and this is the only type that doesn't sit on my face like a grease slick! I've tried Simple, No.7, Piz Buin.....Simple was alright but the Soltan sinks in far far better.

Both the Once spf30 and the normal spf50 are good, the once one is best under make-up as you don't need to reapply for 8 hours.
