Facial. Sunscreen recommendations

Hi, does anyone have a recommendation for a tinted facial sunscreen that’s not too pricy - say up to £30? I am currently using up this - https://www.laroche-posay.co.uk/en_GB/anthelios-uvmune-400-invisible-tinted-fluid-spf50-sun-cream-for-sensitive-skin-50ml/LRP_027.html and although it does the job, I’m not a fan of the smell or the texture - it is quite sticky and has a sickly sweet smell. I’d prefer something which has very little odour and maybe a more gel like texture if that exists?

I've been using this for the last year and I love it. I hope they never stop making it. It's really light, just melts into the skin. I prefer it to the more expensive ones I've tried.

It's annoying that you have to sign up to the subscription to get the cheaper price but you can cancel in your first month and it'll come to £23 (they have some good stuff in skincare too though) it's last me about 4 months and I use it everyday, you don't need much

I use the Green people facial sunscreen, it's not gel like but I don't find it sticky at all. Not sure if they do a tinted one or not though.

Just realised you said tinted 🙄 sorry!

Thanks for the recommendations. I would prefer tinted as I don’t tend to wear a lot of make up day to day, but I would also consider non- tinted if the smell and texture are nicer. Thanks for linking to the Beauty Pie one @Stafanko - does it have a noticeable smell?

For untinted cerave day moisturiser f50 is excellent. Usually on 3 for 2 at boots at £15 each and one lasts me a couple of months.

I have been really enjoying the Biore aqua rich one, it’s about £15 I think. It’s not tinted but it’s light, not sticky, feels really nice on the skin and doesn’t irritate my eyes.

Basically no smell at all 🙂

I always pop up on spf threads to recommend Heliocare Mineral Tolerance Fluid… it’s tinted but I’m very pale, if you’re tanned it may make you a bit ghostly.
it’s incredible tho, I use it every day. Doesn’t block pores, it’s totally non greasy, no scent.
I am often tempted to try biore watery essence but this one works v well for me so if it ain’t broke…
