By chance, is your wife asian?

So I was wondering what other people used for sunblock on the face. I picked up some Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunblock, SPF 85 (kinda expensive) at a pharmacy and I'm sorry to say it works like crap. I have tan lines where my helmet ends, etc. 85 SPF my SS!!!!

What do you all use and most importantly, does it work??

Do not use stuff like that. It contains oxybenzone which has been linked to skin cancer. Basically the product that you are using to prevent cancer can give you cancer...

Use a sunblock that works via physical not chemical barriers eg something that has titianium dioxide in it. I use California Babies (really highly rated in a recent indie test of over 700 hundred sunblocks!). Target carries it, it works, but it is expensive. About $17/tube.
But, all good things cost...
IMO better to spend $17 and use a product that does not contain oxybenzone.

I read that anything over 45 SPF is a lie. TRUE SPF readings only go to 45 so if it says more than that it is only 45!

Finding stuff for your face that works is hard because it seems everything I try sweats down into my eyes and stings like hell.

I found this stuff to be the best. It's sold everywhere, is cheap and doesn't sting your eyes. I use this in Florida all the time.

I wouldn't use that stuff. It's another product that uses a chemical block instead of a physical block - avobenzone - another benzone derivative.

Everything gives us cancer, even pumping gas using a mccuff

Therefore, the observations of cancer in animals were considered, by IARC, as relevant to people doing jobs with exposures to titanium dioxide dust. For example, titanium dioxide production workers may be exposed to high dust concentrations during packing, milling, site cleaning and maintenance, if there are insufficient dust control measures in place. However, it should be noted that the human studies conducted so far do not suggest an association between occupational exposure to titanium dioxide and an increased risk for cancer.

What do you mean by "physical block"? Like I have to have to put so much on that it masks my face, hence it blocks the sun?

you can also buy a uv tint and put it on your shield,

"Does your sunscreen work? Surprisingly, 3 of 5 brand-name sunscreens either don't protect skin from sun damage or contain hazardous chemicals - or both. An Environmental Working Group investigation of 1,694 sunscreens rates the season's best - and worst.
Some companies have responded to EWG's 3-year campaign for safer, more effective sunscreens. 70% of sunscreen products now contain strong UVA filters, compared to 29% last year. The bad news: much UVA protection is still too thin to save your skin. Don't waste your money or risk your skin on sunscreens that don't deliver. Use our 2009 Sunscreen Guide to find better products."
