Neutrogena sells one https://www.neutrogena.com/sun/sun-a...otions#start=1 https://www.reddit.com/r/SkincareAdd...nsitivity_why/ I think La Roche Posay also makes a few thinner chemical SPF's for the face including one which is oil-free https://www.laroche-posay.us/antheli...oduct_overview aka "Dry Touch"

Don't forget about the good old wide brimmed hat. Buy a few and leave one in the car or office. Sun shirts/rash guards with higher UPF come in more shirt-like designs these days, too. I got mine from Lands End.

I'm not sure what makes my skin break out, always thought it was oil related, but no scientific basis for that - when I use them, I get little spots / sores around my nose mainly. I use a very similar Neutrogena one at the moment, it is called 'Water-Light' on the bottle, spf 60. It is the best I have tried so far, but still get some little spots from it. I will see if I can find the Roche Posay one and give that a go, thanks!

I do use rash vests when out at the beach etc. and usually wear hats too. My body is fine with cheap chemical sunscreen (think Coppertone) just my face that is fussy!
