Non greasy good quality sun cream recommendations please?

[Jas8085]

Hi all,

As the title says and preferably spf 50. Something that can go under make up too. 

I’m currently using Nivea and its VERY greasy.

Thanks :)

Preferably something that’s not horrendously expensive!

Body shop skin defence factor 50 is light and non greasy for your face.

Ultra sun, looks expensive but you don't need much and the best I've used by far

And cruelty free! Excellent ! Thanks!

Biore watery essence. £10 on Amazon. VG

Sunsense - Australian brand, easy to apply and v good protection. You only need a small amount so it lasts ages. Their tinted oil free face version is great. Bought 50+ kids stuff recently and it's great.

I’m a big fan of Rieman. www.boots.com/riemann-p20-once-a-day-sun-protection-spray-spf50-200ml-10230229?cm_mmc=bmm--Google+Boots+PLAs--BAU--C=%28GB%3AWhoop%21%29+Boots+Shopping+-+Category+-+Health+and+Pharmacy+-+Mobile%28GB%3AWhoop%21%29+Riemann&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIiue_67Lv2gIVyLHtCh1YIABHEAQYAyABEgJSCPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Second Biore watery essence spf50 from Japan via amazon. Goes beautifully under makeup, feels like water, and it really works as evidenced by my porcelain skin in Greece.

Another for Biore Watery Essence. It's a very thin non-greasy liquid milk that dries without leaving any trace that it's there. I've tried loads over the years and this is by far the very best.

Biore. Absolutely wonderful. Glides on without any greasy residue. I also use it on the kid’s faces as it doesn’t get rubbed in their eyes. I then use the cheap stuff for arms and legs.

Is it the feel of applying it you don’t like, OP? I use a self tanning mitt to apply sun cream as I can’t bear having sticky hands.

Heliocare Oil free is amazing - it's got a light tint to it and it is really lovely to go on to the face. I have really bad skin (spots) and have been able to wear this under make up every day without it causing break outs.

boots soltan have anon sticky one.

The Biore Watery Essence is really high in alcohol and not the good kind for skin. I wanted to try it but then saw the alcohol content.

I like Bioderma and Avene sun creams. I just ordered the Mustela SPF but it might be too greasy for you, OP. It has avocado oil in it. I have dry skin so I like moisturizing products.

Sunsense is my favourite. It’s great under makeup too.

Boots own soltan one i find is really good. Doesn't leave that greasy feel and isn't expensive. It is also very good for uva protection.

Boots soltan is good
Avene mineral one is great and light too

Vichy 'Dry Touch' SPF 50 is excellent for under make up. Wouldn't use anything else.

Depends on your skin, but for very dry, eczema prone skin I find Skinceuticals Minderal Defence Radiance really good. It lasts for ages, too, I'm still in my first bottle having used it every sunny day since this time last year.

Boots soltan is good. I choose it for all the reasons you describe.
