What daily moisturiser with SPF do you rate?

Just that really.

I'm currently using Gruum SPF 25 moisturising and it's OK but just not quite right. I use Skin&me and generally burn easily so I guess I need SPF 15 minimum.

I have no idea what my skin actually needs right now so I'm wondering what you guys like?

I use Eucerin hyaluron filler SPF 30

LRP, SPF 50 facial sunscreen with a blue band.

It's a moisturising sunscreen (and not a moisturiser with SPF) but it is rather moisturising and it just works very well for me. It can be used around the eyes and on the eyelids.

I also like the "clear" / shine control Nivea spf 50 facial sunscreen. Perfect for hot summer days or a as a quick touch up during the day (I can apply it and look fresh/ready 30 sec. later. Works with makeup, doesn’t need time to settle/stop looking greasy etc).

But I do not use it around the eye area or when I have dry skin patches (in winter). It's therefore primarily used on my forehead in winter...

Can I hijack this thread to ask a very thick question please?

Does it matter if you apply SPF then moisturiser, or vice versa? And if so why? And should you wait anytime between the two.

I know what I do but I could be doing it wrong!

(I put on the SPF 50 let it "set" and then put on tinted moisturiser (also has SPF but I never believe enough)).

Ultrasun Face needs to go onto clean bare skin, and although they say you can then apply other moisturisers on top, it’s pretty good skincare on its own, so I just slap on all my serums in the evening when I take off the Ultrasun, which acts as my moisturiser and foundation all summer long (I use the tinted one).

I use SOS sunscreen spf 50 or Beauty of Joseon spf 50. Both feel like a moisturiser so I just apply straight to my skin without using a separate moisturiser.

no point using tret if you're not going to use a proper spf. Boring but true.

Thanks everyone. I got some La Roche on order. Hopefully that will be good.

I wasn't convinced by the needing separate moisturiser and sun cream but then I read about how little moisturiser you use/need but how much sun cream you need and that made sense. So seperate moisturiser and sun cream going forward.

I guess the same rule applies for foubdation with spf (although I've never seen a foundation with a high SPF) anyway.
