It says its for oily to combination skin but i have dryish skin. Would this cause me to break out in spots or anything or would i be fine to use it?
If I put a moisturiser for dry skin on under it, would it work over it for me?
Then I would be getting the moisture as well as the protection right?

ANy opinions on this as a facial suncream? Does it go on under/over my moisturiser? Would wearing it every day keep sun away?

Hi, I use dermalogica ultra rich face block it has factor 30 in it and a bottle lasts ages. I have combination / dry sensitive skin and this works perfectly and does not cause me to breakout on my chin like some products for dry skin do!

That suncream does get great reviews, but if your skin is dry then have a look at the entire range. There's probably another one that while it doesn't explicitly say "for dry skin" would suit you better.

There is a cream version for dry skin.

thank u irish phoenix. you say there is a cream version for dry skin- would that not make me very greasy and spotty, as i will be wearing a moisturiser AND the creamy suncream? would i be better going for the fluid to wear over my moisturiser? what you think?

I think if you're using moisturiser and are worried about the suncream being oily, you'd be better off with the fluid. I have combination skin and I went for the fluid as it was lighter. I think if you're planning on putting make up over it, it would be the better choice as well.

Sam McCauleys had testers of both versions on display at their La Roche Posay stand if you wanted to try them out and see which one you like best. I'm sure other pharmacies might have some testers as well.
