body shop Vitamin C moisturiser SPF 15

I find it rich enough to keep moisturised without any of that greasiness. And it smells nice and orangey.

Or does it have to be sunscreen as opposed to moisturiser with SPF?

Bobbi Brown's Moisturising Balm. There's a tinted and non-tinted version, and it has an SPF of 25 (which is plenty for me). It smells nice, soaks in really well, moisturizes well and I generally love the stuff.

I've never had any problems, and I'm quite fair.

I think my favourite thing about them is I end up using sun protection all year round without noticing (very good for keeping my skin youthful).

The Bobbi Brown stuff got me through 2 weeks in Italy last August without a red peeling nose in sight.

Dispatches is doing an expose into face creams next week on C4. Will be interesting to see what they've got to say.

Last year I used Gatineau Melatogenine SPF50 it was good, went on thick but soaked in nicely, no spots or anything and didn't get in my eyes like piz buin does.

moisturiser w SPF not an alternative for sun cream apparently...
Clarins are ok, but a bit greasy.

I'm using Clinique City Block spf 40 atm - as recommended by BBBee, I think. I like it - goes on pretty sheer, and non greasy. Seems to do the trick. Doesn't clog up my face. Lightly tinted, but not so's you'd notice. The only thing I'm not sure about is how long the protection lasts, ie if I put it on first thing in the morning before heading off to work, should I really be reapplying it later on, or will it still be working at lunchtime?

would wearing moisturiser with spf and a foundation on top with spf be a substitute for sunscreen do you think?

i have been putting ambre solaire suncream mixed in with my lancome moisturiser on first and then my foundation but this morning i got up little lumps under my skin on the cheeks!

I bought Chanel Beaute Initiale moisturiser which has a SPF of 15, and it was yawsless. As a moisturiser and its sun protection. And it was $80 when my sil bought it for me cos I thought it would be cheaper in the US.
