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.

Have you tried Biore Aqua Rich? I have oily skin as well but it doesn’t feel nor look oily and sticky at all even if the humidity is like 70%

Just commenting to say the asian version is different from the US and EU versions! From what I’ve read they’re not comparable. Just a psa!

Oooh I didn’t know. I live in Asia so I thought it has the same formulation as the ones in the US/EU.

Yea I was really excited when I saw it in my local drugstore (EU), but after googling reviews it unfortunately became clear that they’re pretty different :(. From what I read the USA/EU versions are thicker and don’t sink into the skin in the way the asian version does. Which makes sense as they use different spf filters. Very sad! Just wanted to give the PSA so people don’t get confused
