SPF moisteriser recommendations pls

Hi All, wondered if you could recommend a day time moisteriser with a high SPF? I had been using an Origins one that was SPF25, loved it but it's quite £££. Am currently trying a L'Oreal Revitalift SPF30 one 'cause it was on offer at the supermarket - but it feels really heavy and greasy, sits on my face all day iywim.

I'm 40, get the occasional spot on my chin (charming!) with an oily t-zone. Can anyone help with suggestions please?

I use the Clinique Superdefense moisturiser - the one for oily and combination skin has a great texture, not greasy at all. The only trouble is that they've changed the formula recently, and it's now only SPF 20, not SPF 25 as before. Sad

Sorry, it's also fairly pricey - £39 from Boots, so I do online surveys to earn Boots vouchers to keep the costs down.

I use Sunsense Daily Face SPF50. Don't find it greasy, don't need a separate moisturiser - my skin sounds quite similar to yours as slightly oily and always have the odd spot. It's oil-free and non-comedogenic and also has niacinamide in which is good for spots.

Not perfect but pretty good and not expensive.

I've just started using a Nivea Q10 day cream. It's SPF30 and only cost me a fiver, half price in Superdrug.

Meant to add it's a really nice, light texture. I have oily skin and have no complaints at all!

Bioderma Photoderm Max Factor 50+. I love it, it's light but moisturising, no white cast. I buy it online, it costs about 15 for 40 ml.

Eucerin has an SPF of 30 and is about £17 on amazon. I love it.

Olay Complete Care SPF 30 is often on offer in Boots and is a great lightweight everyday moisturiser which sinks in quickly and doesn't leave a cast.

Thank you all! I will check those choices out and see what I can afford :)

If I had the money, I would try Ester Lauder's Daywear. I think it's SPF30 too. Anyone tried that?

Clinique s
City block goes up to SPF 40. Just put on top of your moisturiser

The Avene one is SPF 20 and very light - it's not moisturising enough for me, though.
