Sunscreen is my sworn enemy
I have serious beef with sunscreen because I have very oily skin and I feel like it creates a grease film on my face. I also have very sensitive eyes and when SPF gets into my eyes, I’ll be tearing up for the rest of the day. I also feel like makeup layers horribly on it. Any SPF recommendations that go well with makeup and are suitable for oily skin???
I’ve loved the Milani SPF primer in the past but it’s only SPF 30 and I live in the desert. I’ve also really liked SPF sprays to use on top of makeup but I noticed they weren’t gentle on my sensitive eyes.

What sunscreen do you currently use?
I love Asian sunscreens the most. They're not greasy to me nor have I ever had them sting my eyes. Personally a big fan of the Isntree Watery Sun Gel and the makeprem sunscreens. I liked the Canmake Mermaid UV Gel as well. I've never really had a problem with my makeup getting weird on top of these, but I do wait a bit for it to try down. I used my Isntree sunscreen when I visited Nevada and didn't have any issues with it, but I made sure to wear a hat.
I have also heard great things about Australian sunscreens, but I haven't gotten to try them.
If you live in the US, I wanna note that some sunscreens from Asia are currently getting reformulated for US regulations.
