BB/CC/ Tinted moisturiser- recommendation for oily skin?

I have oily skin and frequent spots. Have given up on foundation as even with a primer it slides off or settles in my pores. Can anyone recommend something lightweight to even out skin tone without feeling like it's sliding off my face within an hour? Preferably with SPF so I don't need to wear sunscreen. Thanks!

Two suggestions: Estee Lauder EE cream, it is to even skintone and is beautifully smoothing and a tube lasts ages, such a fresh and light look to it, plus it has SPF. And less pricey (and I know you said not a foundation) but this really does not settle in pores and you can wear a little of it, and it also has an SPF is Maybelline foundation, something like dream satin liquid foundation. It's the one they advertise by pouring it over a golf ball so it really does smooth over pores! I have to reapply after lunch if I am at work but it really is better than a lot more expensive brands on oily skin.

La Roche posay effaclar BB cream. Brilliant range anyway and the BB cream is no exception IMO

Oh and it has SPF 20. Although I'd still recommend a proper SPF underneath ideally

I'm looking for the same. What are the shades like banana? I use the LRP cleanser. I'm using the Nivea one at the moment but I wouldn't recommend it OP.

Just checked - it's called effaclar BB blur. It's a rather paltry range of shades - 2!! I'm pale and it's reassuringly not too orange, but I think it's probably a bit of a jackpot if the shades happen to work for you. Worth checking out in boots though

Have had some success with LRP skincare so that might be worth a try, didn't realise they do a bb cream

Estée Lauder one sounds lovely too
