Suncream that doesn’t cause spots??

Hi, when I wear suncream it gives me really bad spots on my chest. I think it’s using a heavy cream and heat/sweat. I can’t even moisturise that area with body lotion as the same thing happens. Even the ones that say they don’t clog pores clog mine! DH is on about going on a sun holiday when he recovers from illness but I hate it due to how I look and feel really conscious of how spotty I get. Piz Buin used to do a gel one that was good for me but they don’t sell it anymore! P20 is the same. Has anyone else’s had this issue and found a solution?

Ultrasun and take antihistamines for 2 weeks before you go. Certainly helps my prickly heat.

Thanks, I’ve heard good things about Ultrasun. It’s not prickly heat, more spots from an excess of oil in the bloody stuff!

I have the same problem and got over it by using Calypso once a day sun lotion. It's a clear gel like liquid like the piz buin one and is sometimes in Asda and Matalan of all places.

I've used Piz Buin Allergy in the past and it's been fine (prone to eczema, sensitive skin so I have to be careful). I bought Altruist sunscreen 50SPF this year and I like it. Rubs in easily and seems to provide good protection (haven't used it on a sunny holiday though). Gets good reviews and very reasonably priced.

My phone doesn't want to add a photo for some reason, but search on Amazon for it. Only available there.

Thank you everyone! I’ll check them out!
