If you use retinol at night is spf 30 ok the next day?

Just that! I'm finding the 50 spfs are just not working for my skin - too heavy I think.

It's not the spf50 that makes those products heavy, it's other ingredients.

It is spring now and lots of sunshine (most of the time) and spf30 won't be enough in my opinion. Especially since you - like everyone else - are not applying enough to get the full 30 protection and in reality have about 15.

So 50 all the way. Just get a lighter, thinner one.

Do you know of one? I've tried so many and they're all the same :-(

I apply neutrogene’s face shield (spf 110) in the day. My routine is double cleanse, pat dry, vitamin c serum, let dry, moisturise, let dry, spf, then when dry cc cream and then make up. Seems to work with minimal problems.

I've heard the difference between SPF30 and SPF50 is tiny in reality so I'd say it would be sufficient. However, I use La Roche Posay Anthelios SPF50 every single day all year round and it's light as a feather - have you tried it?

Which ones have you tried?

I've tried two types of heliocare and Nivea (which I reacted terribly to)

@QuimReaper haven't tried la Roche posay but I love their sensitive stuff so that's a great shout

@QuimReaper do you use the fluid or the cream?

Ultra sun face fluid is light textured

@QuimReaper I totally agree La Roche Posay is the best spf - incredibly light, sinks straight in and doesn’t give me zits. A little goes a long way too 👍

I use LRP Shaka fluid in 50. Works great.

I use the ultra-light invisible fluid! I've also converted my mum, sister and MIL

(Well, definitely my mum as she asked for more when hers ran out. The other two got some as a gift whether they liked it or not... )

@mommybunny Yes, I think that's the same stuff - they briefly changed it to 'Shaka fluid' but seem to have changed back now, no idea what it was all about.

@QuimReaper I have given it to my sister and 23 yo daughter (never to young to start...)! I missed the Shaka palaver though it seems 🤣

Well, I've invested in it! Fingers crossed it does the trick. Thanks for the recc

Oooh come back an let us know what you think. I feel partly responsible 😁

I will :-)
