Which is better for normal to comb skin as moisturizer and sun protection, while not giving shiny face? Daily SPF 40 or Clear SPF 46?

I really like this sunscreen. My skin feels good after using it and I don't feel all greasy and shiny. I know it's not the cheapest one out there but other sunscreens sting or feel greasy or have that smell that goes along with s.p.f. This one doesn't feel or smell like that at all.

I use the 40 daily for years with no issues. You do need to let it absorb. A good alternative if you don't mind a light tint is Skinceuticals 50 SPF but that is more expensive.

I have only used 40. I think it is the best I have ever used on my face. I do not have break out troubles.

I have used the daily facial moisturizer for years, and have recently switched to this one a few months back. I couldn't be happier! First, it has SPF 30, which is important to protecting your skin. Second, it dries so fast! The daily facial moisturizer (in my opinion) was "wet" feeling for a while. I had to wait a long time to apply makeup. This one is no where near that. It dries without drying out my skin. I still feel as though my skin is moisturized. Also, it dries to more of a matte finish, where the other was shiny. I really like this product and do not intend to go back to the daily moisturizer ever.

I use UV Clear 46 to prevent hyperpigmentation. It has made a significant difference for that problem. Reconstructive & Dermatologist docs claim that any SPF above 30 does not provide more protection, it's just more expensive.

UV Clear SPF 46 is formulated for skin types prone to acne, rosacea and hyperpigmentation. UV Daily SPF40 is a moisturizing sunscreen for normal or combination skin types, which is also tinted. I assume that translates into having different ingredients, hence, the difference in price. I know there was a price difference at my doctor's office as well. Like I stated in my review, I had to exchange the SPF40 for the SPF46 because the 40 caused my face to turn red. The 46 truly is much milder for me and doesn't cause any irritation.

Mary Kay has Timewise day moisturizer with a SPF of 35. They also have the Timewise age fighting moisturizer with 15, 25 or 30 SPF. I have not yet ordered any Moisturizer with SPF, but plan to soon. Since I do not stay outside for long lengths of time, I will usually buy either 15 or 25 SPF. I hope this helps.

I am 57 and have only tried the Vital C Hydrating. I like it especially combined with the SPF 50 moisturizing lotion.

I use skinmedica TNS Ceramide Treatment Cream during the day, and dermologica super rich repair at night...after I put the skinceuticals lotion on. I let the skinceuticals lotion set for a few minutes, then put on the Super Rich Repair lotion. Often during the day I put Dermologica Dynamic Skin Recovery spf30 over the skinmedica cream. This has great moisturizing and high sun UV protection. I have very dry skin....yet this regimen has kept my skin very smooth, clear, fresh and soft.

Hi, I have the product and I think the spf is low. You can buy other minerals to add to it if you want a higher spf. You can match it to any skin color. I do really love this product, and it will last you a year or 2.

I have used this with much success. I went snorkeling in the ocean last year and had regular moisturizer on my face with SPF 30 and this on the rest of my body. My face got sunburned but my body did not. I have been using this for years and love it. You do need to rub it in well because you can see a little white residue if you don't.

I use moisturizer with SPF during the day and just moisturizer at night. I have also used vitamin c and both do the job. I have oily skin so I don't dry out or peel much.

I have found Olay to be very skin friendly. Not using SPF shouldn't be a problem. I use this at night because moisturizing my face during the day tends to cake up my make-up. I love both serums, but the night time one works better for my needs. If you are not in the sun often or for long periods of time you should be fine.

I don't understand the question. I have very sensitive skin and the serum and night cream were too harsh on my skin so I discontinued using them. The cleanser is great and the day cream is fine with SPF in it.

I've used different moisturizers at night - Neo Strata,La Roche-Posay. I just tried collagen hydrator byPCA skin and like it. It's thick but not greasy, especially now when the furnace heat tends to dry your skin. In the daytime I use hydrator plus spf 30 by PCA skin.

It's SPF 4 because it coats your lips. No actual sunblock. This is just petroleum jelly in a tube - been around for decades. This is the balm my 92-year-old Dad uses, and he has for many, many years. If you want other ingredients, you need to choose a different ChapStick product. I personally use the medicated, and it's a very good product. It moistens, keeps my lips from chapping and heals the dryness in extreme weather (cold or hot).

This one definitely has a color to it and a lower spf. I haven't used any of the supposedly clear ones (and the clear ones are the ones with the higher SPF), so I don't know. They have a kind of fruity smell though, so if that might be bothersome I'd skip them.

It provides excellent moisture, so no need to apply another moisturizer. I use it exactly as-is on a daily basis, and occassionally apply a higher SPF over it to protect against greater sun exposure.
