    I'm using body SPF 50+ cream on my face now and it's causing me to break out in spots. I need to use factor 50+ due to a skin condition I have. Does anyone know of a good face-specific SPF 50+ cream?
    Thanks

    Maybe La Roche Posay? Haven't used this sun specific line myself but like their other stuff

    Eco Logical - chemical free sunscreen.

    Factor 30+ blocks out 97% of the sun's rays, 50+ will block out 98%
    Once you are applying enough, factor 30+ should be enough.

    I use Vichy's matte face one, it's amazing, La Roche Posay also do a variety in SPF 50 which is also very matte for the face, use both frequently and both are the business!

    +1 for last roche posay, it's fantastic. They also do a tinted version which is very useful indeed!

    I recommend elave SPF 45. It's natural and sinks in nicely.I found le Roche posay left a terrible white mask on my skin

    I have combination skin and get breakouts from sunscreen, including some of the ones mentioned above. The only solution I've found is really pricey but excellent - Chanel's factor 50 UV protect facial fluidsunscreen. It also has full UVA protection. It costs about e48 for a really small bottle but it is great, I've used it every day since I first discovered it over a year ago, it's one of the rare products I repurchase religiously. It also sits well under makeup.

    Hopefully some of the less expensive options will suit your skin but if not, the Chanel is amazing. I once read that the best sunscreen, regardless of SPF level etc, is the one you'll actually use as otherwise it's so tempting to skip applying it.
