Best SPF sunscreen for oily skin?

So I'd like to add a SPF sunscreen to my am routine. I'm currently using a moisturizer w/ SPF 15, but have read from numerous sources that this isn't enough. A few sunscreens I've researched & am interested in purchasing:

-Lancôme bienfait you've SPF 50+ super fluid facial sunscreen
-clarins you've plus hp broad spectrum SPF 40 sunscreen multi protection

I liked these 2 based on the oil free (as I have oily skin) & high SPF factors.

Anyone try either of these or recommend one similar? I've heard great reviews on shiseido as well... My only guidelines are that it's good for oily skin & can be worn under makeup.

Sephora has great products for oily skin...yet they are a bit pricy.

Both the Lancome and Clarins along with Clinique made my skin turn into a major greaseball. If currently use a mineral powder based sunscreen from Colorscience at spf30. If not that then I'll use one from Peter Thomas Roth that is a moisturizing spf30. Renee Rouleau spf30 for oily skin is another in my rotation. The reason why I have so many is because they all play differently under my makeup and the FL weather determines which one I reach for.

Shiseido I would be careful with. On deeper skintones it can dry down to an ashy white finish and there was one that I sampled that made my skin tingle ( and not in a good way) because it contained alcohol.

I say give Dermalogica's oil free matte SPF 30 a try. It's an oil free SPF that is also helps to keep a matte finish. It's part of the medibac line which is their acne line but also works really well for oily skin. Or you can try their solar defense booster SPF 50. Both are really great and last a great while
