Nice affordable moisturiser with SPF for slightly sensitive, pale skin

I keep reading that the best thing to do for your skin (in terms of ageing) that the best thing to do for your skin is wear SPF everyday. I’m looking for a nice (affordable-ish) moisturiser with SPF. I usually use Nivea. My skin is pale and quite sensitive (I had bad hormonal spots a few years a lot though that’s under control now) so I’m nervous about using anything new. I tried LRP (effaclar, when I had the spots) but found it quite harsh. Any recommendations very welcome!

I use Boots No7 Protect & Perfect spf15 day cream every day.
In the spring & summer I wear the Boots No7 Protect & Perfect facial sun lotion spf30 on days when I'll be outside for longer than half an hour.

I've always worn a day cream with an sof15 at least & a stronger facial sun lotion in the summer since I was a teenager, I'm naturally pale, I'm now 44 & have barely any lines or signs of ageing.

Avene is lovely. Sukin make a nice one too. I've used both and my skin is very sensitive. I'd say the Avene is best if your skin is extra sensitive.

I like simple spf15 usually only £3.

I use Biore spf 50 which I get from
Amazon. It's Japanese.

More like a fluid than a cream so nice and light.

I get superdrug own brand with spf. I love it. Prefer it to more expensive ones and I have sensitive skin. Find this nourishing and light. Btw used it for years and don't have wrinkles.

Zelens is lovely but very expensive. Elizabeth Arden one is fab and a bit more affordable - I think it's called great 8. I have similar skin to yours. Hth!

I swear by Nivea Q10 with 30spf. I have managed to get rid of dark blotches by using it daily on hands and face. It's only £9.99 at Superdrug or Boots
