So I've tried alot of different sunscreens but all have made my face super oily...I've tried Neutrogena, City block by Clinique, various moisturizers with spf 15 like Joey New York, etc. (not enough spf in my opinion).
Then I was all set to purchase the Sofina Nuance up, but they want a paypal account (which I don't do anymore because I was scammed and because the seller didn't have any money in her paypal account (she cleared it out as soon as my payment was sent to her), I lost my money) or to send a check to HK. Neither one seemed like a good option. So I was at a loss.
So I went to dermstore.com (a great site I buy what EDS won't ship to the US) and began reading reviews on sunscreen and I came across Solbar Zinc spf 38. It has what's known as z-cote, or transparent zinc oxide. It doesn't clog my pores (even though it says non-comedogenic, sometimes I'm skeptical) AND UVA and UVB protection. The best thing...it soaks in quickly and I WAS NOT GREASY AT ALL. Amazing! I know people who use this for hiking and climbing and love it. I never thought I could use it everyday under my Everyday Minerals (which also has SPF so I'm extra protected.
The best part? It's only 13 USD for a tube that will last me a long time!!!!! I didn't have to spend oodles and oodles of money for a sunscreen that works, is non-greasy, and a high spf (38! Not just 15!)
I figured I'm not out that much money, and I can always use it on the rest of my body if it didn't work for my face, but I'm ssooooo pleased. And now I'm not worried about sun damage...wearing MMU is not enough I feel.
Almost forgot...it's water resistant (package says up to 80 minutes in the water) so even if I sweat by walking around campus all day, it stays put.
Anyway...give it a whirl...like I said, if it doesn't work for you, you can always use it on the rest of your body (you can't beat the high spf!).
My Bobbi Brown SPF 30 and PSF spf 30 are now used on my body (in particular my tattoos that are exposed to the hot Arizona sun down here). Too greasy for the face (or at least an oily face like mine!)
At any rate, I'm so excited. I thought I was destined to deal with greasies in order to protect my face from the hot hot sun! I high recommened this sunscreen for those that are uber oily like moi. 
In addition, if you are looking for a fabulous body sunscreen...I highly recommend Blue Lizard suncream. I wore it for 8 hours while at the bottom of the Grand Canyon two weeks ago and DID NOT BURN.
You can also get this from dermstore.com
