I already use the Murad resurgence in the morning but I'm looking for a less expensive SPF moisturizer for reapplication during the day.

Suggestions please, I know we have some serious skin gurus here. My skin is fair and sensitive, I have started getting chemical peels to work on sun damage so I'm really trying to stay on top of my SPF.
 
Is there a reason you're looking for a moisturizer with SPF rather than a full out sunscreen, or would you also consider a full out sunscreen.
 
My skin is generally pretty dry and I typically apply moisturizer 3-4 times a day, I would just rather it not be an $80 one.
 
Ah. Got it. Same with mine. I use non-SPF moisturizers with sunscreen on top. But yeah, they can be somewhat drying.
 
I use Yonka and the Creme 28 is great for drier skin. I have VERY sensitive skin and use this all over during the winter months without feeling the need to reapply. It is very rich and thick. Everything that Yonka has for sensitive skin has been great for me. I cannot use any creme that is high in AHAs or other acids.

I do buy from a couple vendors on ebay to get it cheaper and have had no issues with old stock, etc.

HI:

I love Korres, La Occtaine, and Dr. Hauschka products. Nothing bad in their line ups. Rose moisturizers always a favorite for me. In addition, I also use Vaseline Intensive care--my Derm recommends it although no SPF.

cheers--Sharon
 
Not sure of your preferences re: physical/chemical SPF ingredients, but I highly recommend these three - they are my favorite SPF moisturizers; I keep all three on my dresser and use one of them every day. I have fair skin which is on the dry side (and even more dry in winter).

are you talking facial or a general one? I can't help with facial, I'm oily as hell...lol general ones I can help with.
 
My sunscreen is pretty creamy. I use LaRoche Posay spf 60 Anthelios-XL Melt in cream, or Ombrelle SPF 60 (both for face). Both have a fair bit of mineral sunscreen in them though so tend to work better under makeup.
 
Asscherhalo, I would suggests pure almond oil. It doesn't clog pores, is very moisturizing and all natural. I use the NOW brand. A little goes a long way and it sinks in pretty easily. It is easy to find and very inexpensive compared to other moisturizers. If you apply it in the morning before your Murad and again and night before your products you might not need to apply during the day.
 
Thanks ladies, I'm going to try to get some samples and see what I like best.
