I will try the Sun Sense one.
I wish I had read this before I bought my current SPF. It is supposed to be mattifying but it really isn't.
I currently have the Clinique, Neutrogena, SunSense and Invisible Zinc. I think my favourite now is Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Face.
I would like to try the Alpha H one, and I heard Dermalogica made a new one too
