I've used Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock. Very good product.
Try Jack Black's facial moisturizer with SPF. I use it once a day after I clean up in the morning. Good stuff. And ya might think it's 'spensive, but if you buy the the medium or large size, it's pretty fair.
I use Devita Solar Body Block SPF30 it's intended for the body but it's very light, non-greasy, all natural and works well on the face. It doesn't require much, so a 7oz tube goes a long way..I ordered three tubes last year when it was on sale for $12...good stuff.
^^^^^^ and recommended by my dermatologist.
I'd try Aveeno. Their products are as gentle to the skin as anything i have tried. They have several products with sunscreen, but something like this might be perfect for you:

Blue Lizard. The stuff is a miracle for pasty guys like myself. It can be hard to find in stores, but easy to find online.
eucerin makes several different lotions. i found one at walmart last week that is sold as "multi-purpose," cost about $6 for 15oz. it has SPF 15. it works well as an ASB and i plan on using it regularly on my face and neck this season as it has a great feel and does not have that characteristic "SPF smell." i really don't detect much of a scent at all.
+1 cheap and effective, I keep a 16oz bottle in my beachpack.
For a bit more cash, I prefer Hawaiian Tropic - the creamy stuff. It's THICK and somewhat difficult to apply, but it works for hours, even in water. And it smells like Hawaiian Tropic!
Not sure about the acne friendliness of either of these though.
We had a big sunscreen thread on this board around this time last year and some guy (I don't remember who it was, so apologies to whoever it was) recommended Elta MD. A bunch of people here tried it and I think everyone was very pleased with the result, myself included.
I have extremely oily skin and I use the UV Shield version, which is Oil Free and marketed for people with oily skin. They also make one for acne prone skin, which I might try soon.
You can buy it at dermstore.com. Some dermatologists sell it, as well.

+1 This and the Neutrogena Sport line worked well for me with no greasy feel or stickiness.
After looking at most of the other suggestions, I've ordered a tube of this. Gets very good reviews.
Generally speaking I love Aveeno's sunscreen. It works well and doesn't "clog" pores and cause me to sweat up a storm. It absorbs quickly too and doesn't leave me looking like a ghost. I haven't tried any of their facial sunscreen, but I use their "regular" sunscreen on my face all the time. This past weekend up here was a glorious weekend to finally get out and about.
Bullfrog-choice of lifeguards, pro surfers, and most anyone who spends time on the beach or the sun in general
