Decent sun screen for my face?

Watched that bbc thing on skincare and now feeling very neglectful of my poor face. Can anyone recommend a good daily sun screen with decent UVA protection, that won’t make my face either greasy or chalky white? Have used La Roche posay facial one previously but it left a white film on my face.

Hi just re bumping to ask about the biore one - is the alcohol drying? My skin is suddenly very dry and crinkly Sad during this pregnancy and I've been reading it's like a primer too.

I've actually ordered frezyderm spf 30 velvet face after reading good reviews plus no parabens but so many like the biore and as a primer I'm wondering if I should try that in the future? Frezy do a 50 as well as a tinted one that I didn't see till after ordering 🙄

So far so good. I’ve been applying it every morning with no drying so far. Using a very low concentrate retinol in the evenings (prob not suitable during pregnancy) and have been getting a lot of compliments on my skin, not sure which is driving it! I do find the Biore is a great primer but would love to find something that has the same uva protection that doesn’t need to be ordered from japan.

Thanks both of you!

Just been looking at retinol things; but worked out not in pregnancy! Maybe afterwards :)
