Best suncream for spot prone sensitive skin?

Always really struggle and away this summer in Spain so really want to look after my face aswell as my body. I’m after a specific sun cream for my face that won’t block it like most do despite being non clogging. Any recommendations?

roche posay, couldn’t recommend enough... pricey ish but boots do it in the offers all the time.

Thanks willow, any particular one?

Boots kids/sensitive - I use it on my face.

Would second La Roche Posay- the best one is Anthelios.

I have very sensitive skin so I can't use chemical sunscreens like LA Roche posay as I always break-out or get a rosacea reaction. Instead I use Neo-Strata Sheer Physical Protection or Elta MD UV Clear. Both expensive but I wear one or other of them every day and they are a dream under make up.

Make sure you rinse it off with a cleansing balm or oil and wet flannel. If you remove it properly, you won't get spots. They're tough to get off fully. Cleanse as soon as possible, don't wait until before bed!!

I’ve always used Simple facial sun cream. I have sensitive skin that gets the odd spot and burns easily. This works a treat

Thanks for the replies. Yes will be properly washed off before dinner time.

I can’t use simple products as they make my skin itch so don’t want to risk using their sun cream. I will have a look at the others thanks.

I've had success with the Tropic Skincare facial ones. Both the balm and the face tinted moisturiser. My Irish skin burns easily and that's the only suncream other than P20 that has worked for me. P20 is horrid on my face, though.
