Non greasy sunscreen?

I need some sunscreen for everyday use that will not leave me ‘greasy’ and ‘shiny’!
Something I can put under make up, on my body and not need a shower before I go out in public.
I burn driving in my car, my skin needs sunscreen!
Any recommendations? =D

    Ultaceauticals mattifying 30 + smells beautiful (citrus) leaves skin moisturised and mat with no greasy residue. Also a great primer before make up up. I wear this daily and love it. It is a little pricier than supermarket sunscreens but this product is professional skin care.

    I really like the mecca face sunscreen, it comes in 30 or 50+ and works really well with my make up 🙂 I wouldn’t also use it on my body because of the cost

    I picked up the Cancer Council’s Active SPF 50+ as it was on sale while on holidays and said it was non-greasy, oil free & 4 hours water resistant

    I actually had the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer sunscreen as I despise greasy sunscreen and thought I had already found the best…the Cancer Council’s sunscreen is actually the best non-greasy sunscreen I have found to date. I love it.

    It also makes me happy each time I buy it, as a little of the sale goes towards cancer research & support. 🙂

    It costs $10.69 full price at Chemist Warehouse for 110 mL at the moment.

    have you looked into asian brand sunscreens? asian products are a little easier to buy in australia now and most of them are specially formulated to be non-greasy.

    right now i use Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence sunscreen and it’s been really good for me. it’s not waterproof / resistant though, so i wouldn’t recommend it if you want to wear it to go swimming…

    I quite enjoy using Essano’s SPF 15 moisturiser, as it uses zinc oxide, which is great for my acne-prone, sensitive skin. I find chemical sunscreens lose their effectiveness – I got burnt while using Clinique’s City Block (chemical sunscreen) but was all good with Invisible Zinc (physical sunscreen). The more natural brands generally use physical/mineral sunscreen but the only ones I’ve found can be quite expensive. Essano is cheap and cheerful, but I’m not a fan of the fragrance. It is not greasy, if anything the zinc creates a really matte finish. I usually wear moisturiser under this.

    You should try Cetaphil’s Susitivity hydration SPF +30 lotion, it’s about $13 from chemist warehouse! I love it! I Use it all over my face and neck and find that it’s the only sunscreen that doesn’t sting my skin.
