the one i use and am certain is non comedogenic is one from La Roche Posay called "Anthelios fluide extrême". it won't grease your face unless you put a lot on, it's milky so you really don't need much product and it won't clog your pores. it's also absorbed quite easily by the skin. they have SPF 20, 40 and 50 versions.
they also have a stick for your lips, quite good but it makes them white lol.
anyway, i hate sunscreens on my face and it's the only one i can use. i also know that brand provides a great UVA&UVB sunscreen (they claim to protect against the whole range of UV rays).
by the way you mention Mexoryl, this one contains it too
(well, LRP is owned by l'oréal).
That's cool, I'll be switching to LRP's Anthelios when I run out of my Loreal UV Perfect Advanced Fluid Protector...It's only marketed in East Asia I think (got them on a trip) and is not available here in the ME, sadly.... Goshdarnit...it's tinted too, and has an SPF of 50 and PA+++...I love it to death...I got myself enough tubes of it to last me another 6 months, it's much cheaper than Anthelios but works great (not for those with oily skin though), they share the same basic ingredients (Meroxyl) for maximum UV protection...I'll definately get her to try Anthelios soon though since she hated mine, I'm keeping my fingers crossed...I hope to goodness she finds her sunscreen match with it.

My sister is 19, thanks for the suggestion...she needs a sunscreen real bad at the moment, she gets really lazy with them LOL, much like I used to hate them when I used to have really oily skin as a teen...used to skip wearing them and just go for compact powders with SPF instead.
