SPF 50 or higher specifically for face - what do you use?🌞

I usually use Nuxe factor 50 sun protection lotion daily but it is playing havoc with my eyes. They are streaming badly within a few minutes of putting it on. uk.nuxe.com/products/melting-sun-cream-very-high-protection-spf50

I have to put it fairly near my eye area as I have some sun spots on the tops of my cheeks and I think this is what is causing the reaction, but I never put it on my eyelids. Also get the same with Ambre Solaire.

Can anyone whose eyes stream and run at the drop of a hat recommend a good face SPF that doesn't trigger them?

I use DRMTLGY Universal Tinted Moisturiser SPF 46 and absolutely love it. I have very reactive skin and this doesn't cause me any problems and it does a great job.

I have often had this issue. I’m using La Roche Posay at the moment and finding it really good.

Beauty of Joseon Sunscreen is fabulous

I bought this following thread earlier in week. Really like it. Weightless and not stinging my eyes. Was much cheaper on Amazon £10

Currently Aesop and Tatcha, both factor 50

La Roche Posay Anthelios. Doesn’t stings eyes with sweat or swimming.

That's also great!

The best ones for not stinging your eyes for me:
Hawaiian Tropic spf50 face
Garnier vitamin C - tinted and non-tinted
La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVmune 400 Invisible Fluid SPF50
