I use Biore aqua rich Watery Essence for faces, and Ambre Soleil, Soltan or Altruist on body.

We live in hot, sunny climate so the Biore is amazing for soaking into skin without running in eyes. Very much like P20 without the stink or sting. It's the only one my kids don't complain about. Downside is that it's expensive.

Altruist because it's cheap and brilliant. I stock up when I'm in Uk.
