If you're just now searching the internet for sunscreen it may be too late. Drink some water and go to bed, you've got some healing to do. However, if you are on the left coast and have yet to burn, or have further sun-filled plans for the weekend, let us suggest Aveeno Continuous Protection Sunblock Lotion, or as we like to call it, 'the good stuff.'
A.C.P.S.L. is specially formulated for the face, meaning it won't clog your pores. That's a relief. It's bad enough being in a swimsuit in public without having to worry about pending pimples.

It has everything you look for in a sunscreen: various levels of SPF, active photobarrier complex (that was on your list, right?) that is engineered for extensive UVA and UVB protection, waterproof, a light fragrance, oil-free, and includes soy proteins, vitamins A, C, and E, and a does of antioxidants. That's a lot or stuff in one little tube ($10ish/3oz).
We tried the A.C.P.S.L. out on a recent outing. We applied it to our face, our friend's face and our kid's face. At the end of the day we compared ourselves against the face of the one guy that didn't "need that stuff" because he wasn't "a wuss." Needless to say, after a day of sweating in the sun we were all okay, maybe a touch of light pink on the nose. He looked like he fell asleep facedown on the sun. We all went out for dinner. He slept in the car and whined.
Don't be that guy. Lotion up!
