You could try Aveeno positively radiant with spf. Its a photostable product so it will last a little longer than ones that aren't. Its moisturizing but won't leave you looking like you rubbed olive oil on your face. You can also try Neutrogena gel spf for something very light weight.
What ever you try, make sure your drugstore has a liberal return policy so you can return it and try another if you don't like what you get the first, second, or third time around

I use Hawaiian Tropic SPF 30. Smells like coconuts!

Interesting, I received samples of this from my derm and I do like it for an everday moisturizer but I assumed it was not stable. I thought avobenzene was not stable....

I absolutely love Aveno's Positively Radiant Formulas (but it's so expensive). I also like Neutrogena beucase it costs less.

I use Aveeno Ultra-Calming Daily Moisturizing SPF 15 uva/uvb sunscreen...I like it for the winter not during the summer...I need to find another Moisturizer and Sunsreen...I have Mild Acne so I must be very very careful....

Last year, I used Aveeno. This year purchased Skin Effects SPF 60.

Avobenzene by itself is not. Its the other stuff in conjuction that makes it photostable. If you have a membership to MUA, check out the notepad by a chick named Sunscreen. Its has TONS of info.
