sun block cream (face)

I plan to start using a sun block once my face cream with SPF runs out.

I have rather oily skin, with a tendency to spots & blemishes. so I need something that really only blocks the sun, not my pores.

any recommendations for a good one (budget up to £20)?

I used a lovely v high factor La Roche Posay one this summer, without a moisturiser.

(But why are you giving up a moisturiser with SPF now in the winter? Are you not in the UK? Just curious..)

Have not tried it but intend on purchasing as soon as current moisturiser runs out - alpha h do a factor 50 day cream which has excellent reviews for combination skin.

I am in the UK but decided (once my moisturiser finishes) ro take better care of my skin and keep the aging uva/uvb rays at bay.

I second Sunsense. The La Roche Posay one feels nice on my skin, and doesn't give me spots, but has a white sheen which makes me look ghostly as I'm so pale to start with.

I have oily skin and used ultrasun SPF 30 sensitive last summer on holiday and found it really non greasy on my face. Had no problems with it blocking pores etc.

Also didn't get heat rash with it

Clinique city block is great. Lasts forever too.

I have sunsense and city block.

sunsense is greasier whereas City Block is a great make up base and not greasy.
