Suncream that isn’t Biore watery essence

[WashableVelvet]

…because that’s now sticky, perfumed, and I’m sitting here with a pretty red sunburn!

Help me, oh S&B, what should I swap to? I used to like this one, and it used to work better too. I use Altruist (also a MN recommendation) for arms etc and for the children but I want a really light textured one for my face to keep in my bag, that doesn’t make me sticky or give me spots.

Garnier spf50 facial one.
Love it.

La Roche posay fluid

I use altruist on my face. It's the only one I can bear, and doesn't turn me into a hot sweaty sticky mess like the others.

@PAFMO this one? There seem to be lots of kinds
Garnier Ambre Solaire Anti-Dark Spots & Anti-Pollution Super UV Protection Fluid SPF50 +, with Hyaluronic acid - 40 ml amzn.eu/d/eGsl7Ra

Garnier SPF 30 is good

I use ultasun face spf 30

I find the water ones best

Clinique city block. So many products aggravate my acne but not this one

I like the Eucerin anti-pigment one under make up and then I keep an Ambre Solaire spray in my handbag for top ups as it can be used over make up (I find it leaves a very slight white powdery cast but it's not too noticeable and the convenience more than makes up for it)

La roche posay anthelios, it's the only one that doesn't make me break out

Ultra Violette Screen Queen. Bought some a few weeks ago and I love it. Not the same consistency as the biore at all. That's like a lotion. This is almost watery, but not quite. Make up goes well on top. It's Aussie so spf 50.

The Body Shop Skin Defence spf 50 is lovely and bogof at the moment

On a budget - NIVEA UV Face Shine Control

No budget - La Roche-Posay Anthelios

I've swapped from Biore (too difficult to get the genuine product now) to Thank you Farmer after a recommendation on here. I'm impressed so far and that's included a trip to Italy. I also have the Evy face mousse for running. I burn very easily and have sensitive skin and both of these have been great.

This is what I bought and this one

I've got a Vichy one which comes in a small pump bottle and is spf50 and is a lovely lightweight texture like the Biore one.

This is the one www.lookfantastic.com/vichy-capital-soleil-uv-age-daily-spf-50-invisible-sun-cream-with-niacinamide-40ml/12867789.html?affil=thggpsad&switchcurrency=GBP&shippingcountry=GB&thg_ppc_campaign=71700000088329921&adtype=&product_id=12867789&gclid=CjwKCAjwnZaVBhA6EiwAVVyv9CBXZzQchh5xJ1Co3IQUe-jzEuhKfSdcanVbqkHBM-I0DbNzDKqxZxoC7fYQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Ultrasun or Thank you Farmer water sun cream SPF50.

Thank you farmer !

Did you apply enough?

Also love this

The Garnier spf50 face mist. Can be used over makeup so reapplying is a cinch. I keep a bottle in every handbag!

This is inadequate. Spray spf contains a lot of propellant rather than spf so it's very difficult to apply the correct dose

I really like this one, but Eucerin do quite a few sunscreens for the face, depending on your needs www.boots.com/eucerin-sun-face-fluid-spf-50-50ml-10171022

The once a day stuff, I can't remember what it's called.

P something?

I have just bought a Nuxe face suncream from M&S and it's lovely.

My other 'go to' brands are La Roche Posey and Avene.

I was going to recommend this one. I don't like the body shop products generally but this one is brilliant
