SPF Moisturiser

Does anyone have any recommendations for an SPF 50 face cream that also acts as a moisturiser? At the moment I use Nivea Q10 pore minimising but it’s only SPF15, so something similar to that! Thanks

Personally, I wouldn’t bother with spf moisturiser.
Its better to wear a normal moisturiser, then a proper sunscreen ontop.
I wouldn’t rely on moisturiser with spf, it isn’t designed as a sun protectant

I am using the Altruist face spf50 currently and really like it. It’s very light but moisturising enough for me.
Also like Ultrasun and the super cheap Garnier one. No need for separate moisturiser on me - just apply over my serum

Garnier face SPF 50.
I have dry skin but sometimes just use this in the morning. It's brilliant.
I'd say consider using an SPF in place of a moisturizer if you want, but not a moisturizer with SPF instead of a separate SPF.

I use Eucerin Gel Cream spf and don't use a moisturizer. Moisturizers aren't really designed to be used as an spf despite saying they have an spf as the amount you'd have to use to get the protection would be daft.

Unless your skin is dry could you go with: The ordinary Hyaluronic Acid serum followed by SPF 50 CeraVe only in the morning then in the evening double cleanse and add oil mixed with moisturiser such as Rosehip, Argan, Almond or Marulla oil with any bog standard moisturiser? You could hydrate at night only if your skin is normal or oily. In the summer most people's skin will be oilier so it could be worth doing.

Thanks everyone! So yea, didn’t phrase it right but I guess I’m looking for an SPF primarily that can also be used instead of a moisturiser. Will check out the Garnier one. I have never applied SPF routinely to my face but now in my mid 30’s I am going to start although the damage has already been done probably…I’m quite short of time/low maintenance for a morning routine hence wanted something that can double up!

I'm using an Aldi one that's spf 30, I don't remember anything higher

Cerave for a moisturiser with spf 50
