Face SPF suggestions please combination skin

Skin can be quite oily in t zone in summer, plus the SPF needs to work well under makeup.
Last year I used a La Roche Posay one, happy to use it again but I just looked online and I can't remember which one it was. 🙄 Open to any suggestions!

La roche posay ultralight is good, their cicaplast is also very good. So here is my routine that I follow with tretinoin:
Morning:
Using water to wash your face,
Sebamed clear face gel,
LRP spf
Evening:
Cerave moisturizer,
Started with Tretinoin (0.025) from skinorac
Sebamed clear facial gel

@UmberMoose which SPF do you use, LRP have several and I'm not sure which to try.

I love Beauty of Joseon. It feels moisturizing but absorbs well I think and it's quite light. Doesn't break me out.

I used the tinted Anthelios, but then my skin is mostly very dry.

Paula’s Choice youth extending SPF 50. I have combination skin and wear make up daily and this is the best SPF I have tried; doesn’t feel like SPF, doesn’t break out and fab under make up

Anthelios ultralight and another is the cicaplast which is very good.

The Shiseido clear suncare stick is really good, non-greasy and sinks in really quickly. It's my go-to SPF for work days when I don't have time to wait for SPF to sink in.

Thanks everyone, I will probably try all of these!

Another fan of Paula's Choice -they have a range aimed at aging combination skin which seems very good.

I have a Cerave SPF 50 moisturiser and like it. I do get shiny skin but some powder on the T zone sorts that out.
