Tried a few but they either are too greasy/ white / don't work under makeup or they break me out

Any suggestions? Currently have body shop spf50 which says it's suitable for all skin types Sad lots of spots now Angry

I have very sensitive skin which is irritated by a lot of spf creams, one that I really like is Temple Spa Self Defence SPF 30, which is great, really moisturising and good under makeup. I was going to link it, but it seems like it's been discontinued Angry. It's been replaced with something called Life Defence, which looks very similar, but I can't vouch for it in the same way. You can still get the Self Defence on EBay and such.

Avene Hydrance is specifically for sensitive skin and has an SPF20

Simple spf 30. Good under make up and non greasy.

I've been using Origins a perfect world spf40. I like it.

Are any of these not tested on animals? Am looking for similar.

I used simple products a few years ago and my skin didn't agree. I'll give it a try again though..

I looked up the Simple SPF 30 cream and the second ingredient is dimethicone which is a definite spot causer for me :(

I like the Avene hydrance one, you can get it in a light version for combo skin or riche for dry skin.

Another vote for Avene Hydrance Riche spf20. I have dry and sensitive skin. It often is on 3 for 2 on Boots

Thanks for the tip maraki

Shisedo it is light and a little goes a long way.

Biore watery essence is amazing. SPF 50 and really light.

I have sensitive skin - Altruist from Amazon is fab, non-greasy and proper 5* UVA rating. Its not specifically a 'face moisturiser' but I use it as a day moisturiser every day and its brilliant.
