I just started using the La Mer Oil absorbing lotion and absolutely love it! But the only downfall I find is there is no spf coverage! Any suggestions as to what I can wear over this lotion? It needs to be super light but have at least a minimum of spf 15 as I don't sit around in the sun or anything like that...I obviously don't want anything that will clog pores, or break me out or feel heavy..with the summer weather coming I want it to feel light like the la mer lotion but am worried about going out with no protection...pls help!!! Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Actually La Mer itself has a very nice sunscreen, with spf 18. If you don't complain it's too expensive, it's a really good choice.

What about Clinique's Super City Block?? It's oil-free & lightweight, plus I never got any breakouts from this & have been using it for years. Smile

I second the Clarins, it's soooo light - just wonderful stuff, IMO.

La mer is not of foundation, it has non-tinted sunscreen, but as you said, too expensive, Clarins spf 40 is not bad.

I'm pretty sure you can use it over the LM, I use it over my moisturiser & it's fine. But I guess you have to wait several minutes for your moisturiser to get absorbed before applying it, I find it works best this way.

definitely Neutrogena dry touch spf55. I am using it right now. It feels so light on my face and non-greasy at all. Strongly recommend it!

You may try DDF Matte-Finish Photo-age protection SPF 30. It's very light, abosorbs quick and non-greasy.
