Non drying facial spf recommendations please

Probably been covered elsewhere but can anyone suggest a daily facial moisturiser with spf that is non irritating/ non drying?
I find the mineral ones worst in terms of drying.
I've tried several types and the ones that were drying but didn't irritate were:
Clinique spf20 super defence
Soltan hypoallergenic fragrance free SPF 30
Olay Regenerist 3 point SPF 30 lotion
Paula's choice Calm SPF 30 for dry skin (this was very drying)

The ones that did irritate were:
Elizabeth Arden ceramide SPF30
Possibly LRP Anthelios (this was a few years ago)
Cerave day SPF30 (normal cerave cream is fine)
Paula's Choice Skin Recovery SPF30

Ideally, I'd like to just stick to one product. I have the Olay one at the moment but need further moisturiser, especially for my cheeks.

On days I'm not leaving the house, I find Aveeno (green top) works nicely. I like Astral at night lately. I'm breastfeeding currently so that might explain why I've got dry skin but many of the creams I've listed above I tried when not pregnant or breastfeeding.

Thanks in advance.

Shiseido SPF 50 day cream is fantastic

Avene anti ageing spf 50

Body shop have a new spf 50 essence that's fairly moisturising.

Loreal revitalift day cream spf 30.

My mum swears by it and now has the softest skin as well as great spf protection.
Tried adding a pic if it but won't let me, sorry.

Also mum has very sensitive skin so know this is gentle but effective.
She uses Aveeno on body!

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Merida83, must admit I did look up the revitalift online although I'm in my 30s 😳

I use this one and it's totally sufficient as a moisturiser and spf in one (I use an spf free moisturiser at night). Not greasy on my combination/oily skin but moisturising enough for my dryer areas. M&S do Alpha H range as well if you'd like to try the texture etc before buying.

I found this one in a Singaporean pharmacy and it's amazing, us it every day.

All great suggestions. I'll have to compile a list!

AhAgain, do you offer directly from janmarini? I recall getting a sample of the spf from a salon that uses the products and it didn't irritate my skin.

These days my skin feels so parched!
