Paula's Choice Resist SPF 30. It's super light, doesn't feel oily in the slightest and you barely need any to cover your face. I use less than a pea sized amount for my face and one for my head. Also it's slightly tinted so it actually kind of blurs and evens overall skin tone.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch sunscreen or Neutrogena Clear Face sunscreen
You can buy them at the drug store or grocery store

“Start???” Good god. How old are you? “Looking greasy” might be an improvement for you.

For everyday use, I like Neutrogena's oil-free moisture with SPF 35. Other Neutrogena sunscreens are toxic enough that they hurt my eyes, and the texture is often offputting.

People with oily skin swear by this sunscreen. It's a favorite of dermatologists. It also comes in a lightly tinted version, too.

OP, stick with Korean or Japanese sunscreens. They are much better quality than American ones. They dry very quickly.

Clarins UV Plus Anti Pollution Sunscreen Multi-Protection Broad Spectrum SPF 50 - $43 but worth it. Non greasy, non stingy

I second Elta MD UV clear. Excellent product to use every day. Australian Gold mineral mentioned above is also excellent but has a bit of a tint and cast. Not so much of you rub in well. I save this one for hotter weather when I know I’ll be sweating more. It does kill the shine and is matte and calming.

I love this Neutrogena stick sunscreen. I live in Florida where sunscreen on your face is a must. This goes on just like deodorant and it lasts forever. Sweatproof as well.

Some old guy I know said he used minerals or something from Color Science which seems like makeup.
