Every sunscreen I buy is so greasy,
And I'm not sure if using powder
Will get rid of the greasiness and make
Me look cakey? Does anyone know any tips or tricks xx

^^ yes! And I usually always wear a powder over my sunscreen. But my sunscreen is a moisturizer w/ sunscreen in it.

I recommend this one it doesn't feel very greasy, I just let it soak in before applying foundatjkn.

I agree with the one gisell posted! Although the product came in a different bottle, but I think they're pretty much the same thing, if not this one's great :)

You could purchase a 'dry touch' sunscreen, which doesn't leave an oily residue, or you could track down an oil free one.

I agree with Gabby and Gisell. Those sunscreens aren't greasy at all! Very good for wearing under makeup or on their own.

I would maybe try one of the city block sunscreens from Clinique. They come in both SPF 25 and 40 and are sheer and non greasy. Of course they are a little pricier than drugstore but it should last you a long time.
