Suncream causing spots on face

[eyespartyparty]

I seem to have to choose between sunburn or spots!
Can anyone recommend a particular suncream which is less likely to make me spotty?

Face Cream SPF40 | Clinique
Clinique, they do have SPF 50 too which i'm sure is just as good. I have this one and love it, doesn't feel greasy or sticky like others

Heliocare oil-free is non-comedogenic and is only one I can use without getting spotty

I’ve got sensitive skin and have found the garnier ultra sensitive or the tinted one both are fine on me! Are you using a specific face suncream or just the normal body one?

Hawaiian tropic do a brush on loose powder. Factor 30, however it doesn’t get very good reviews due to people opening it incorrectly and spilling the powder everywhere.

What are you using at the moment?
La Roche posay is good along with Hélio care oil free.

This sounds great for partings I’m going to take a look!

Frezyderm is the ONLY brand I can use on my face. Goes on feeling dry, no greasy touch, you don’t sweat underneath it.

Name sounds a bit dodgy I know, but would highly recommend.

Le Roche Posay anthelios - the super fluid one or whatever its called. I suffer from fungal acne so have to be really careful of what creams I put on my face. Never had a bad reaction with this. Its also spf 50.

Weirdly until very recently I’d used the Garnier SPF50 Face one for years and loved it - cheap, effective, nourishing enough that I could skip moisturiser and my make up loooed good on top.

Then on holiday last year I got awful prickly heat on my face after a few days. So I changed face SPF and it seemed to calm after a few days of TLC. Then like a twat because I thought the spf was just a coincidence I started using it again. Result? Fucking awful prickly heat again.

No idea if they’d slightly change ingredients or formula or if it’s peri hormones but sadly it was the bin for it.

Splashed out on Ultra Violette SPF 50+ Supreme Screen recently and it’s like a protective hug for my face. Pricey but goes on so nicely and is so moisturising and I dont look quite as troll like after a few days wear

This one also works for me.

And me!

Splashed out on Ultra Violette SPF 50+ Supreme Screen recently and it’s like a protective hug for my face.

A related UltraViolette SPF 50 was recently found to only provide SPF4.

We tested the SPF claims of 20 sunscreens. 16 failed | CHOICE

Biore Watery essence. Amazing stuff.

Is there one specifically for the face?

@RowsOfFlowers yes, the little 50ml size

I’d been using Neutrogena Clear Face previously - it did used to be good but now I’m finding it hard to get hold of and it makes my sebaceous filaments on my nose 100x worse!

The anthelios is this one https://www.boots.com/la-roche-posay-anthelios-uvmune-400-invisible-fluid-spf50-50ml-10306562?srsltid=AfmBOoo2lPr4is33BcPVUyl_7XI6d3bIkuy9usgOcK1ZTxXQtpY_-Ohv

You can probably get it cheaper elsewhere than in Boots.

Fuuuuuck that’s worrying! Thanks

I don't use the one above but this one

Ultrasun, my face doesn't like loads of applications of anything. I've been using it for years and never burned.

I can vouch for this, its the best one I’ve used.

I use this as I’m very fair and sensitive
it’s for acne prone skin and is a gel cream

I use loreal Revitalift day spf 50 year round and don’t burn - I’m very fair

Thank you all!

It's much better than La Roche Posay.
