Best Sunscreen - Page 2

i went to my dermatologist and showed her my Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunblock in SPF 70...
she recommend that i don't use it, something about the chemicals seeps under your skin, and creates a chemical reaction underneath your skin to protect you from the sun... i didn't really get the scientific part of it... but she recommend that i use a sunblock/sunscreen that has TITANIUM DIOXIDE as an ingredient. right now i'm using La Roche-posay SPF 60 creme (anthelios XL)... i think it's okay... but it's a bit greasy for me... so i'm still in search for a non-greasy one w. the right ingredients

She probably means the Neutrogena is chemical protection so it soaks into the skin. The Vichy is titanium dioxide so it sits on top of the skin. I liked Biotherm though its part chemical and TD and it worked really well even though I didnt get a chance to reapply. It does smell too strong of citrus though but its not as greasy as Vichy. Anytime you use high SPF and titanium in it, it will be more greasy.

I use the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer one in SPF 45. I like how it's not oily and is mattifying.
