Recommendations for a summer day cream?

[LaLaLanded]

I’m looking for a new day cream - shopping on feelunique mostly but I also use cult beauty, and k-beauty so would be great if people have recommendations... I find myself with too much choice!

I have oily/combination skin and am prone to hormonal acne but that’s well-controlled with BHAs and thorough double cleansing.

Looking for a light but hydrating day cream, no fragrance, that doesn’t have SPF (I use a separate factor 50 that mixed well with most moisturisers). Currently using Face Theory regena-c retinol moisturiser but it’s heavy for summer and I don’t think I want anything with retinol in for summer either.

Sorry that’s quite specific! If any skincare whizzes have recommendations that would be amazing. Clinique does nothing for me btw, and I’ve tried The Ordinary and Inkey List! Thank you!!!

@LaLaLanded can I ask what spf you use? As my skin sounds exactly like yours! I’ve been looking at spf for months but worried about it clogging my skin.

Vichy Aqualia, the gel cream one, is my go-to for the summer. I think it’s fragrance free (it doesn’t have a smell at least!) but I’m not totally sure.

@Tinks15 I use Paula’s Choice youth-extending daily hydrating fluid spf 50. It’s the only spf I’ve used that doesn’t result in clogging - it’s very light, and goes on completely clear.

@NotInTheMorning thank you! I haven’t used Vichy yet, will look this up, much appreciated 😃
