Sunscreen that doesn’t hurt your face?

Not sure if this is the right place to post…I couldn’t decide!
Can anyone personally recommend a facial sunscreen that doesn’t sting the eyes? Every year I try a new one and every year I end up with sore, itchy, watery eyes! I honestly try to be so careful in that area, I think my eyes are just mega sensitive. Ideally I’d like something that it also a moisturiser so I don’t have to worry about both but that may be asking too much!
Thanks for any words of wisdom X

Oh and I have adult acne and this is the only SC that hasn't given me spots.

Just as a side note, anyone relying on a moisturiser with an spf in and applying the amount you would when you use moisturiser, you are only getting a fraction of the sun protection it's stating.

Use a separate spf and use the proper amount (about two finger length stripes for your face).

Boots no 7 has a facial sun cream that I started using a couple of years ago because other sun creams were giving me sore eyes. Bit more expensive though.

None of them. Modern technology hasn't cracked it yet.

Ambre Solaire Super UV Anti-age Face Protection Cream SPF50 is the only one that doesn't make my eyes stream.

It's expensive but you only need a tiny amount. I've tried so many sunscreens and this is the ONLY one which actually doesn't feel or look like there's anything there. No eye irritation either.

Just be aware if you want to get the spf stated you need to use a full quarter teaspoon
