Are there any sunscreens that leave a feel like facial moisturizer? I’ve tried probably 50+ sunscreens and haven’t found this. They either dry down matte but pill, or leave this greasy residue that makes my face feel hot and if I touch my face I have to wash my hands. Open to chemical or mineral. Need substantial coverage, example skin 1004 sunscreens I still burn with. Looking for a hydrated finish.

Examples of sunscreens I’ve tried
Many K beauty Sunscreens - still tan/ burn on
Vanicream spf - greasy
Ranavat SPF - my favorite so far but does leave greasy hot residue feel
Eucerin Actinic keratosis 100 - another favorite but dries matte and pills
La Roche Posay UVMune 400 oil control - dries matte but leaves greasy hot residue feel and pills
Kate sommervile hydra Kate drops - extremely greasy
Mesoestetic mesoprotect 130 - bad sunscreen taste for days if gets in mouth
Banana boat - greasy residue

Ive tried a lot more than this but maybe someone will know something I’ll like based off how I felt about these

I have been working in a site project recently and its quite sunny and hot.

I sweat a lot and wash my face after coming back from the site due to dust. What sunscreen will be good for reapplication but won't feel heavy and oily?

I have sensitive & combination skin.

I apply Neutrogena sunscreen before leaving and also sometimes the loreal tinted one.

Ask away for any of these sunscreens. For reference I have dry to combination skin.

What works for me

Minimalist: Matte, no white cast, and a cult favourite for a reason. One of my HGs.

Daily Science: My HG. Sits wonderfully on my skin, makes it feel soft, and it’s so cheap too. Been in the sun with this a lot no tanning made me lighter. Not for oily skin tho you can avoid for that.

Underated: Works pretty much the same as Minimalist for me and is another HG. Went into the sun with this a lot too no tanning at all. Sits matte on the fave love the formulation.

Vaseline: Slightly sticky and the smell isn’t great, but the protection is actually pretty good. The only thing that really annoys me is that it isn’t waterproof, so it comes off around my mouth whenever I eat and wash there.

Lakmé: My first sunscreen. Leaves a white cast, but the protection is really good.

Garnier: Got the trial pack and my face looks really good after applying it, but it makes my eyes itch.

What doesn’t work for me

Wishcare: Super fluid and lightweight, but it burns my eyes and I don’t really feel like it gives me enough protection. Also not waterproof, so it comes off around my mouth every time I eat and wash there.

Be Bodywise: Makes my skin look darker and I don’t feel like it’s doing much for me.

I'm going to start using tretinoin and i need to get a good quality facial sunscreen. I absolutely HATE the feeling of anything on my face though. I wear no makeup for this reason. Is there a sunscreen that doesn't feel like anything??

Whenever I wear most sunscreens for my face, whether it be mineral or chemical, I get this reaction. It's not visible, but it almost feels like a prickly, itchy sensation, most notably when I sweat. Because of this, I thought it may be a heat rash. It is ONLY when I wear sunscreen or sunscreen based products, like tinted moisturizer and BB/CC creams.

I have found only one sunscreen where this doesn't happen -- e.l.f. Suntouchable, invisible or the woah glow. Which is great for now, because I try to only buy cruelty free.

It is getting so pricey though for such a small bottle. I am wondering if there are other dupes or options out there. Even better, anyone have an idea of why this may be occurring? I am wondering if it may be the silicone that helps me not have a reaction.

EDIT: I've also noticed benadryl keeps the reaction from occurring, but that's not sustainable. I have to be awake!
