Hello everyone.... I'm a 30 year old non-tanner (although from S.California, so sun is hard to avoid. Just recently had a Stage 2 malignant melanoma removed from my back. Based on pathology report, they're sure they got it all. Can anyone recommend a good moisturizer and face cream with SPF 15 or higher. All the body lotion I've seen only has 5 SPF (which is pretty much WORTHLESS to me).

I'm trying to avoid wearing sunblock every day. I'm looking for something that has sun protection that feels like moisturizer. Any input would help!

I do not live in the states but here are two that I know are available both here and there. One is what I use

Spectra3 by coppertone it is SPF 50 and contains and feels great on the skin.


another product is neutrogena sun stuff (not sure of its exact name) there are hundreds on the market.

This spectra3 contains ZINC which is what you need and yet doesnt look like the stuff you put on your nose when skiing hahha. With stage 11 mm it is absolutely necessary that you use a excellent product.
