I am going to try Neutrogena dry touch SPF 100 for my face, I hate greasy sunscreen and need a cover for my face all year round , I get blotchy skin unless I protect. Great price too! Now if only there were coupons? -
The Neutrogena dry touch is fantastic - I use it in an SPF 30 (I believe) for my face and it's not greasy, tends to stay fairly matte and works well under make-up in the summer! Love it. For winter months I usually stick to a regular moisturizer with SPF 15.
