Sun cream that is not sticky - does it exist?

[LookMumNoFeet]

I absolutely hate sun cream 😫
I can't stand the texture and how sticky it is. I've tried so many of them and never found one that's not annoying me.
Is there one out there that feels like a nice moisturiser, non sticky and with 30 factor protection?
TIA!

Nutrogena hydro gel sunscreen is passable. But I’m the same as you, I feel smothered and I fecking hate it. Will be watching in case someone suggests something life changing!

Neutrogena ones are usually good- smooth and not sticky. For my face I like la Roche Posay melt in cream or bb cream- factor 50, very silky and not greasy and fine for my acne-prone skin.

Ah cool, I haven't tried those.

I use Lancaster sun lotion and creams. None are sticky.

Nivea protect and refresh. It's a spray and non sticky.

I like the Garnier Ambre Solaire clear protect SPF30 spray. You can just spray it on, doesn’t need much if any rubbing in. Non greasy formula, water resistant.

DH uses a spray as he hates the lotion. I think it's the Garnier one.

I like Piz Buin for my face. I've just ordered the same one for my body so I'm hoping it is equally none greasy. My face has never burned even in hot countries with the factor 30, despite how fair I am and only applying twice a day.

We are fans of ultrasun in this house. I've never found it to be sticky, it doesn't stain and it doesn't smell either. It soaks in beautifully and we only have to apply it once a day.

Try a dry spray? Like la Roche posay, face one is great. I believe ambre Solaris also do one. I like the ambre solaire clear spray & don't find that sticky.

Ultrasun is amazing. The sports ones go on like a gel that evaporates and it’s only once a day. 20% at John Lewis atm.

Not for faces, but Banana boat Powder is popular in our house

Lush do a sun protection powder.

Thanks all. Will check some of these out 🤞

I always nick my friend's ultrasun as it's lush! Pricey though

I used P20. It’s once a day and feels alcohol based going on - no need reapply during the day at all.

Id be really nervous putting a once-a-day one on the dcs - you can confirm it really does work??

Piz Buin. I use Biore for face.

Primarks spray sun lotion is amazing and only £4. I highly recommend it. I hate the feeling of sun cream and always need to wash my hands after but don't with this one.

Ultrasun? We have Ultrasun because it doesn't irritate the DC's sensitive skin but the regular factor 50 one makes you look like a big sweaty mess.

Piz Ultra Light dry touch isn’t sticky at all
Sort of ‘dries’ dry, it’s comfortable

Garnier dry mist . Only one my asd son will use as mon sticky

I don’t think there is such a thing. One persons non sticky is another persons greasy mess. We’ve just been using ultrasun and definitely leaves a sticky residue. Prefer Boots Soltan baby one.

Ultra sun factor 30 is great.

I used to swear by P20 but over the years they've changed the ingredients and I've burned the last few times I've used it.

I'm looking for an alternative to that too. I used to love it.
