I have oily skin and applying sunscreen makes it look super duper oil and greasy . I havent really found any sunscreen or for that matter even moisturizer which is really oil free and non greasy .
Does anyone know any good sunscreen for oily skin.

I know that this isn't sold everywhere but look into Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch SPF 55 (the 30 and 45 are no good). It may not help with your skin's natural oiliness but the product itself certainly isn't greasy and oily; its matte when you put it on (unlike Coppertone or Banana Boat, etc.).
*The SPF 30 & 45 only protect against UVB rays. The SPF 55 protects against both UVA (aging, tanning) & UVB (burning). Reason for this is, the SPF 55 contain both Avobenzone and Octocrylene in its active ingredients list. The SPF 30 & 45 only contain Avobenzone; no Octocrylene. Avobenzone is intended for UVA protection but it degrades upon contact with light. Octocrylene stabilizes Avobenzone and thus, protection against UVA is satisfied.
Hope that wasn't confusing :) but that's why SPF 55 is better.

The only sunscreen I would use on my face is Neutrogena *dry* touch sunblock. It comes in an spf 45 I think.
I saw a very fair coworker applying it one day at work. She *never* looked oily. I asked if I could try it. It was very silky, not sticky at all. When I put it on it was the only sunblock I had ever felt that felt like bare skin, not gunky.
I hate that gunky feeling. I mean honestly what century are we in? and some are still basically zinc and oil... nasty.
Anyhow I loved the neutrogena dry stuff.
Good luck.

Neutrogena has some great sunscreens for face that don't make you greasy. Try that.

Have you tried www.murad.com? I really like their products. Their pomegrante moisturizer is oil-free and smells pretty good. I'm planning to buy their oil-free sunblock when I'm done with the one that I'm currently using.

Gel-based is the way to go.
Sephora has a great selection.
