Best daily SPF

Hit me up with your best daily SPFs recommendations! I’m looking for true spfs which are ideally easy on my bank account.

I had a skin cancer removed from my face earlier this year which was a fright as I have used daily moisturiser with Spa since my early 20’s and factor 50 when on holiday. However I am fair skinned and have been sunburnt in the past. My dermatologist recently said that SPFs in moisturisers are no good as you’d need a really thick layer for them to provide true protection and I should use a specialist SPF daily. She was not able to recommend as apparently not alllowed….

The internet is saturated with products claiming to contain SPF - I just don’t know what to believe anymore! Can anyone recommend a product that I can use daily in UK over (or under) makeup and not end up looking greasy etc?

The most important thing medically is that it protects against UVA and UVB. Eg the Garnier invisible, or the Nivea.

Do you use it by yourself?

I have used La Roche Posat for years now. Wish I’d been more clued up in my 20’s though as have a few age dpots on my face now

I recommend any of the Tropic ones, protects my skin and is chemical free.

I use MooGoo zinc based suncream as I've got sensitive skin and it works.rrally well.

Everyone seems to like the Beauty of Joseon spf, I’ve been using it recently (the rice one) but find it’s not hydrating enough and pills. My favourite is still the ultra Violette supreme screen. I’m looking for a cheaper alternative though.
