Moisturiser with SPF

7 replies

Can anyone recommend a relatively middle of the road, gentle moisturiser that contains SPF protection?

DD has started on some tablets and cream from the GP for her bad skin. The doctor says it can dry the skin out quite a lot and so to use a gentle moisturiser, and on the instructions it says she must protect her skin from the sun even on a cloudy day.

Any suggestions?

If it's isotretinoin then she needs an actual spf rather than a moisturiser with it in. So buy a regular bog standard moisturiser and buy a factor 50 spf. Boots and Superdrug both have their own brand ones at very reasonable prices.

@TinselToedElf thanks I didn't realise it meant full sun block - even now in winter?

I use Bondi Sands. It is a great moisturiser at a good price. I use it daily. Not too heavy.

La Roche Posay also has good options with a high SPF at a decent price.

Ultrasun. If you need it for medical reasons, you may want to put it on more than once a day, but it's "proper" SPF (I guess you'd need/want 50?) but in a moisturiser. Lots of options, from light lotions to thicker, anti-aging formulas. With and without a tint. They sell it in m&s, and John Lewis if you want to see / try before you buy. There are cheaper places to get it, tho.

Heliocare
Fab skincare product and it's SPF50
