I like the ultra violette supreme screen and beauty of joseon relief sun rice + probiotics SPF50. Both sit lovely under my makeup and neither irritate my sensitive skin

Came here to recommend supreme screen. You can buy it in a big 125ml bottle on offer frequently as well so it’s good value too.

I really like the green q+a one think it has niacinamide. They do a couple of other ones too. I get mine from Holland and Barrett

Beauty of Joseon SP50 or CeraVe Invisible Hydrating SPF50.

CeraVe Invisible Hydrating Sunscreen SPF50 For Body Face And All Skin Types With 3 Essential Ceramides 75ml - Boots https://share.google/kSDX2ExlJp9fylS8l

I've used both this spring/summer over serums and under liquid foundation and both are great (the CeraVe is so moisturising I don't have to wear my normal moisturiser under it).

Thirding the supreme screen.

I don't like wearing anything heavy on my skin and I find mixing a dab of foundation into it gives me a perfect amount of sheer coverage.

Sadly my holy grail Supergoop sheerscreen sunscreen has been discontinued. It was brilliant for my sensitive, rosacea-prone skin and was a great makeup primer too. I’ve tried the ultra violette mineral one (can’t remember the name) but reacted to it even though it’s meant for extra sensitive skin. Currently using the Beauty of Joseon one - it’s ok, don’t seem to have reacted but I don’t love it. Will follow with interest for other suggestions!

Beauty of Joseon is lovely, so light and doesn’t pill. And factor 50+. I don’t often recommend products but I I love this and also their Dynasty Cream moisturiser.

Eucerin oil control 50. Sinks in quickly and works really well under make up

The Ordinary Spf50 face sun cream

im very sensitive to sun cream near my eyes & this doesn’t irritate, is light but substantial- a bit like a light primer.

Altruist do a spf50 primer that is excellent for makeup in a hot day.

Beauty of joseon broke me out in small red bumps and some whiteheads. Otherwise I would continue using it.
