Can anyone recommend a good one? I bought a Clarins one at the airport recently and it's so greasy 😒

I’ve just started using this one. It’s Amazing. No greasiness at all, no white cast, lovely under my tinted cc cream. I’ve been searching for a facial sun cream for 3+ years after my last face protection was discontinued . I have tried so many I’ve lost count, but this one I’m going to be buying on repeat.

La Roche Posay. I get spots really easily but not with this

I second this! I struggled for years before I found this - always looked a shiny oil slick with sun lotion on!

Beauty of Joseon relief sun. The only one I've found that isn't greasy and leaves me feeling gross

I have just discovered this stuff after YEARS of looking for for something that won't irritate my skin.

I used a Nivea one when I couldn't get La Roche Posay and it is just as good. And about £6 a tube.

Biore UV Watery Essence and the Beauty Pie ones are the best I have found.

biore is light and watery, no grease

I'm using Nivea Face SPF50 fragrance free, for sensitive skin. It's not greasy and doesn't pill, at least on my face.

Eucerin spf 50 oil control is great and often on offer. I have oily skin and break out easily.

I would also recommend this one. Have oily/acne prone skin and this is Fantastic. Doesn’t irritate if I have a breakout and the oil control is amazing. I usually try and stock up when it’s in boots £10 Tuesday

La Rochey. Very lightweight.
Bondi sands is fine too

Slothlydoesit · 19/04/2026 17:50

Also La Roche posay anthelios air for me too. In winter I use Charlotte tilbury primer which is gorgeous and has spf 50 and a good UVA rating, but I’m not sure if it’s hardcore enough in the summer.

I swear by Bondi Sands spf fluid. Brilliant under makeup, non greasy, doesn't break me out and most importantly I've never burnt wearing it.

Beware this failed in tests done by which.co.uk

Top sunscreens fail protection tests, Which? says

Some cheaper lotions from supermarkets Aldi and Lidl outperformed more expensive brands, Which? said.

I’ve just bought this by Byoma. Good reviews and reasonably priced. Not at all greasy and fine under make up.

I start of by saying it’s expensive but Dior. First time I’ve not reacted, didn’t burn and my husband also.
He recently used it on a bike ride and didn’t sweat into his eyes. I used the 30 and found it fine, my husband stuck with 50.

Often find it on offer 20% offer (boots etc)
