Opinions please! I am getting my last minute stuff together to pack and I would like to get some suscreen for my face. Any recommendations? I dont want to use the regular stuff that we use for our bodies. Something that is not heavy or greasy or sticky. And it wouldnt be a bad thing if it took all the wrinkles away either! :laughing:

Any tried and trusted brands?
 
I use Neutrogena Babies 60 spf in the stick format. It glides on easy and doesn't feel greasy like lotion. The kids also use it, and don't fuss about putting it on. Just be sure to blend it in fully or you'll have white stripes on your face!
 
We like neutrogena for the face. I forget the exact name but it has faces in it. It feels nice & light. DS started using it when playing tennis and liked it because it's lightweight and doesn't drip in his eyes. Now we all use it. It's in a small white bottle - a lotion
 
I used Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid SPF 70 on my last trip to Disney in July it worked well. Really put it to the test on my trip to Topsail NC in August. I got talked into a little walk on the beach that turned into a 3 hour trek. I had the sunscreen on my face but hadn't finished putting sunscreen on the rest of my body. Arms and legs got burnt, but face and neck were fine.
 

Neutrogena sunscreen for face is suppose to be one of the best; anti aging and non-greasy. It uses Helioplex broad spectrum as it's main sunscreen protection. Right now Costco has is it in two tubes plus two little tubes (good for carrying around the park) for around $15 (as I recall). They have regular and waterproof.

However, I will only use a sunscreen with a PHYSICAL broad spectrum protector meaning it must contain either "titanium dioxide or zinc oxide" and are also called SunBLOCK. Unfortunately they are either a little greasy or have a slight whitish tint to them until they soak in. I usually apply and let sink in while drinking coffee then put my makeup on and don't have any problems.

Have a great trip!
 
My dermatologist recommends Neutrogena or Aveeno SPF 55. Once you get beyond SPF 55, there isn't much difference in protection. The key to good protection is reapplying frequently if swimming or sweating.

The Neutrogena comes in a 3 oz. bottle, TSA friendly for arrival day if you are flying. Aveeno comes in a 4 oz. bottle, which has to go in checked luggage.
 
I use Physicians Formula Healthywear Tinted Moisturizer with an SPF of 50 under my mineral wear make-up which also has an SPF in it. I started using this combo at WDW first and loved it so much that it is now my regular beauty routine.
 
Another vote for Neutragena. I've used several kinds (Sport Face, Sensitive Skin, Ultra Sheer) and I like all of them.
 
Neutrogena Faces ..works great! Wore it everyday for two weeks in Fla last month and never had a problem/ burn.

Banana boat has a "faces" sunscreen that I have been using for years.
 
Peter Thomas Roth Mineral Powder, Brush on powder similar to Bare Minerals. You don't think it'll work but it does! I found it recently at Sephora for <$15, buthere's a link for the higher spf one:

It comes in 30 (the one on sale) and 45. My teens use it during marching season and it doesn't break you out or make you oily!
 
I use Neutragena DRY TOUCH. Does feel greasy when applied, but dries quickly then does not.
 
I use Clinque City Block SPF 40, it has a slight tint to it and works great.
 
Everyone pretty much said it, but I also love neutrogena ultra sheer dry touch. I have a travel tube of SPF 55. Its pretty awesome, doesnt leave that greasy feel of regular sunscreen.

Have a blast!!! :wave2:

Another Neutrogena user here.
 
Growing up on the beach I have had a few skin cancers on my face. My Doc gave me samples of Aveeno Positively Radiant SPF 30. I use it every time I'm at WDW and have not burned. It is non-greasy and absorbs wonderfully...no white streaks and unscented.
 
~Murad Essential-C Day Moisture SPF 30 | PA+++. Good stuff! :goodvibes
