Best suncream for face

11 replies

So was very brave and finally went to the GP about adult acne. It’s only taken me 19 years to sum up the courage. I have roseacre (?spelling). He's given me an antibiotic gel and has told me to wear a high factor suncream if the sun even threatens to come out.

So I'm looking for recommendations for a good face cream with a sunblock build in. Ideally 30-50 factor. :)

La Roche posay anthelios fluid, comes in factor 30 and factor 50, its non oily and light feeling on the skin

Another vote for LRP Anthelios in SPF50.
I've got a browner skin tone and it doesn't leave any streaky white marks or greasiness.

Another one for LRP used it recently on holiday and it was fab!

Heliocare is excellent

Frezyderm velvet 30 or 50.
Totally non greasy and no white cast when applied.

Or for a budget alternative, Altruist F50 is great and cheap as chips on Amazon. Recommended by my GP who uses it herself.

I have no idea why doctors prescribe the antibiotic gels still for pp rosacea asides cost.

If it doesn't work then ask the Gp to prescribe Soolantra instead, it's specifically for rosacea and has been brilliant on mine.

Sorry that doesn't help with your question but I've had your type of rosacea quite severely and I get cross seeing a couple of quite tube of antibiotic gel being given when there's actually a targeted cream available now.

I've tried LRP Anthelios and it is very good. However if you're on more of a budget then Superdrug Anti-aging face fluid is a great alternative. Comes in 30 and 50 and has a 5* UVA rating.
I use the sensitive one and it doesn't aggravate my red skin. I suspect like my mother I've got the beginnings of rosacea too and I put an spf on every single day of the year.

Another vote for La Roche Posay, Boots often have 25% off that brand. I also have Rosacea.... you're not alone OP!

Another vote for the superdrug face fluid if you don't want something too expensive.
It protects against UVA and B and I definitely think my skin is better after using every day
