As the title says, I can't for the life of me find a drugstore sunscreen that doesn't make me either look like I took a grease bath OR one that doesn't cost a kidney.

Sunscreens I've tried so far:

• Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen (contrary to the name, this is one of the greasiest one's I've tried lol)
• Hawaiian Tropic Sheer Touch Sunscreen
• La Roche-Posay Anthelios Sunscreen
• CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 (left a white cast + pilled)
• Eucerin Clear Skin Sunscreen

Currently, I'm using the eucerin clear skin sunscreen and while it is wayy better than the other ones I've tried, it still leaves me looking greasy. I'm looking for something that doesn't look greasy or sweaty, non comedogenic (or just in general something that doesn't clog my pores or makes me break out), no white cast cuz I'm a brown girl, and preferably something that's not THAT expensive. If y'all have a product in mind pls let me know cuz I'm so tired of searching lol

Can someone recommend a non sticky/non greasy daily use ( mostly for face and arms) sunscreen for my teenage kid.

He has slightly oily skin and sweat a lot. I use regular Nivea or banana boat. Buy they are quite skicky/greasy and very uncomfortable for him for his daily walks through school and to and from school.

( Not exactly sure if it matters, but we are non Caucasian, trying to give as much information as possible).

Thanks in advance.

Coming to Amsterdam from U.S. soon and looking for face sunscreen that has all of the great ingredients I can't get in the U.S.! Specifically looking for a matte (or at least not shiny) finish, invisible feel and look. Would consider tinted (I am light-medium cool skintone), mineral or not. Also would love to not spend $$$ - please excuse my ignorance but is skincare sold in drugstores or specialty shops? I saw a post about something only being sold in pharmacies - are those different from drugstores? Thanks for any advice!

I have very oily skin that is prone to cystic acne, but I worry about skin cancer/aging, so I try my best to apply SPF when I know I’ll be in direct sunlight for 30 minutes or more.

After about an hour of applying SPF, my skin sweats and gets super oily, so I’ll blot it with tissues.

My question is: will blotting 30 mins-1hr after applying SPF have a big effect on my SPF protection?

Hi guys, I live in an extremely hot, polluted and humid country so every sunscreen I use looks so tacky on me. I've tried as much as I could
My first sunscreen was the Australian bondi sands but it was too heavy and oily for me

Then I used the Missha sun milk cuz I wanted a sunscreen that wasn't oily or would show on my skin but that had whitecast and looked patchy tho I used it for a while cuz it didn't make me look sweaty

Then finally the Beauty of Joseon probiotics–the trendy one I started using that. To be honest it's a very good sunscreen and I've used it for like six months too but then again it's a dewy formulation and I have an olive medium skin so in hot weather it makes my skin look darker so I bought the aqua one of the same sunscreen the blue version I thought maybe this would work and feel lighter but it felt tackier than the original. It felt so so tacky that I don't even wanna use sunscreen anymore. It made me look around 4-5 shades darker I don't know why.

And I don't wear makeup, I usually go out bare faced sometimes a little colour correction under eyes and blush maybe that's all so how my skin looks with just skincare is very important to me. I don't know why sunscreen makes me look dull and crusty and makes my skin feel warm and stuff idk how to describe.

I want a completely invisible sunscreen I can't seem to find anything. Please help me guys.

I don't have a very dry skin nor a very oily one. It's normal to combination but as I said where I live is extremely polluted and hot so I tend to sweat a lot and let's also consider the dust and pollution sticking to my face when I go out so extremely dewy formulations kinda makes it worse.

I'm still on the search for a lightweight SPF that's hydrating, non-greasy, and safe for acne-prone skin. On my radar right now is BoJ's aqua-fresh, but I'd love more recommendations to look into!!

About me:
I have dry, sensitive, acne-prone skin.
I also am on a college student budget.

Context:
I currently use Anua's hydrating SPF, and although it's lightweight and beautifully hydrating, I look sweaty upon application.

The best non-greasy SPF I've used was Neutrogena's clear face SPF, but I have reason to believe it was breaking me out.

Anua's mattifying SPF completely broke me out because of pore-clogging ingredients like isopropyl palmitate.

Anyways thank you for your time :)
