    Not a lack of interest for me, I just don't think I can help anyone. I don't commute by bike, so I use moisturizer (Neutrogena Anti-Wrinkle spf 15 with retinol) for everday use/under makeup and when I'm doing a long bike ride I use 70 spf sunscreen (Neutrogena Sport was my brand this year, previously used Coppertone Sport). The Neutrogena comes in a face-specific formula, which it's mostly the same ingredients as their regular stuff. I use it because it is slightly less irritating to my eyes than the regular stuff.

    My shorter mid-week bike rides are at the end of the day when the sun is low, so sunscreen is not an issue there. Whatever I put on my face that morning is what's on it while I ride.

    At age 45 I still have all kinds of problems with breakouts despite my skin being much dryer than is used to be. The anti-wrinkle cream with retinol helps a little, but most other lotions seem too greasy for me. Eucerin's face moisturizer with sunscreen (30 spf or maybe 45) was the least bad of all the ones I tried this summer. I'm sure the heavy sunscreen I use on weekends contributes to the problem, but I'd rather have zits than severe sunburn and skin cancer.

    Neutrogena Oil-free moisturizer makes my eyes sting even when I don't put it anywhere near my eyes. And I find it's too greasy, regardless of its oil-free-ness.
