I currently use the Neu. Oil Free Moisture, SPF 30. If I replace that product with this one, will the SPF 15 be enough for the sun's harmful rays?

Yes, check out Consumer Reports July 2014 issue. The difference between SPF 15 (93%)and SPF 30(97%) is 4% more UVB ray blocking! Note: SPF only refers to UVB not UVA rays

You'll just need to reapply more often. SPF measures how long it will take for you to sunburn.

There have been times that I've used this cream during the day, especially when I may have forgotten to put it on the night before, or I am going to be in the house all day, or there is very little sun out. But this cream does not have sunscreen in it like the daytime moisturizer, so I wouldn't recommend using it during the day. I love the Total Effects with SPF 15. Very emollient and offers great sun protection without looking pasty.

I have Very dry skin in COlorado weather, but when I go home to Hawaii (VERY HUMID) to balace out from being too greasy (personally I like moisture) it helps to use a powdered sunscreen to set it in with like Color Science Sunforgettable mineral sunscreen powder spf 30 for dry skin and SPF 50 for Oily skin. It does matter on the 2 and I own both. FOr this price and Great coverage, it's a steal and layering it with other SPF products is only that much better..

I've been liking Aubrey Organics SPF 30 for Sensitive Skin. It's a bit sticky at first, but that feeling goes away pretty quick and it isn't greasy or super white like the new BurnOut formulation.

My last bottle was SPF 30. Do your research there are a lot of fakes out there. I'm due for a new bottle but the company I usually by from seems to be lacking confidence and this our face, the first thing we/people notice. Be careful and do an allergy test. You should be fine and the product is awesome !

It doesn't say anything about sun protection, so I assume it has no. Usually they mark it as SPF 15.

The SPF 50 sport version is thicker and a little oily compared to the Regular SPF 30 which is similar in feel to ordinary face cream. I have used the sport version when dressing up and I brush a little powder-MAC Studio Fix-over it and there is no shine or oil. Both versions wash off easily. I use just a warm wash cloth during the day and mild soap at night. Neither one have ever broken my face out.

I use the EltaMD UV Daily SPF 40 product. It is a daily facial moisturizer with sun protection. UV Clear SPF 46 is not a moisturizer but a sun protection lotion that also helps if the wearer is prone to hyperpigmentation.

I do not use the oil-free SPF lotion at night. Instead I will use an anti-oxidant moisturizer.

The two tablespoons of zinc oxide per cup of cream will give you an SPF of 20. So one will give an SPF of 10. I got this info from various sunscreen recipe sites. An SPF of 15 to 20 is more than enough. If you usually burn in 15 minutes an SPF 15 will give you 3:45 of exposure (15 SPF * 15 min = 3:45). Anyway, I've learned that any cream with a high SPF is a waste of money because you usually reapply every several hours anyway. Also, the base cream that you add the zinc oxide to might also have an SPF. For example, coconut oil has an SPF of approximately 4. I hope that answers your question.

I use it under your spf day/night cream, try not to use it with AHA's. I would alternate the days you use both.

Yes - non greasy Sunscreen that works well ..not waterproof- I need to reapply it more often then others I have used but I don't have any reactions with it .. No skin irritations

I would. A lightweight moisturizer with SPF to help prevent UV damage is best.

Ban de Soleil is neither. It is an SPF 4 tanning oil. It is a little greasy, but very fragrant and with a little sun, will give you a beautiful, golden, moisture rich tan in a day or two. But you have to be careful...if you do not have a 'base' tan before you start using it, you could get a bad burn. It's oil, plain and simple. I start with an SPF 30 and very little sun for days, building up my base, then go for the good stuff! Have fun!

Well, if you were born a redhead, why would you use an SPF 10 sun cream when you could use an SPF 50. The SolarBag provides drinking water with a greater degree of safety than any other method available.

I didn't think so- too greasy. I switched to Cetaphil oil control with spf 30, I found it to be a much more suitable daily sunscreen.

The SPF 30 allows you to stay in the sun for 30 min. without burning as opposed to the 50 that allows for 50 minutes of sun. I don't know specifically about Rocky Mountain Sunscreen but most 50's don't seem to be any different but have more chemicals. If you have sensitive skin you might prefer the 30.
