Moisturiser with high SPF

[Vee6]

Hi,
I realise I need to invest in a decent face moisturiser after catching the sun over the last few days. I don't trust online reviews. I have very far skin and wear make up every day. Which would be the best reasonably priced one?
Thank you

I use Clinique city block - it’s more of a BB cream, you can get it in spf25 or spf40 I believe. Have had it on while I’ve been out in the sun a lot at the weekend and my face is still pale - so it must work!

I wouldn’t trust a moisturiser with one inbuilt as it wont have enough to last the day.

I wear la roche posay anthelios (sensitive fair skin) on top of my moisturiser, let it set then apply make up

SPF 50 and on a hot day I don’t usually wear make up so re apply. It’s light and lovely.

Is it comfortable to wear in the heat? I always struggle finding a good summer moisturiser, they all seem to make my face sweat

I find it quite matte, I don’t put a thick layer on, and with powder on top it doesn’t seem to feel sticky. It’s definitely less greasy than some BB creams I’ve used before.

I use the body shop vitamin c - it’s SPF 30. Smells divine

Products with added spf don't provide enough protection from the sun. To get enought sun protection from a product with added spf you would have to use way more product than if you used a separate spf. You need to use a separate spf to give you enough protection from the sun. Spf should also be worn 365days a year no matter what the weather. Even when its cloudy and you can't see the sun it should still be worn. I use La Roche-Posay Anthelios Shaka Ultra-Light Facial Sun Cream SPF50 50ML. I find it doesn't make my face greasy and doesn't leave a white cast.

Definitely use an SPF in its own right as opposed to in a moisturiser. I personally hate the sticky, greasy thick SPFs and buy Korean ones from yesstyle - they’re not at all sticky, they’re so watery and lightweight it’s a complete game changer x

Thanks. Does that go under makeup nicely?

Boots Soltan do a specific face sun cream with built in moisturiser.

 

[IJustDon'tGetIt]

La Roche Posay do several amazing daily SPF with built in moisturisers, I’ve tried a few for various skin concerns and loved them all equally. I’ve tried Vichy one too but I found it hard to rub in and more like total sun block!

 

[clueless]

I use the Cetaphil daily defence moisturiser SPF 50 and really like it!

 

[Pawpaw365]

Moisturiser with SPF in isn’t enough. You have to apparently wear 15x the usual amount of it to get the coverage it states on the tube. You need to get a facial SPF and use that under anything else.

Hey just jumping on this thread trying to find an spf to go under my moisturiser that isn’t greasy as I suffer from oily skin. Is the La Roche-posay one greasy?
Thanks

I looked around for ages to find a good one, was prepared to spend a fair bit as my skin is really oily and I didn’t want to make it worse! Saw this one had good reviews though so I gave it a try and it’s excellent. It dries matt so it’s almost a bit of a primer under make up plus it smells lovely!

I would highly recommend biore watery essence SPF 50. It is amazing and works well under make up too. I also like beauty pie spf 50.

I try to recommend the importance of spf to my friends but they dont listen!

 

[Fenella]

I find biore watery essence a bit drying as it has quite high alcohol content. I like it at first but when I look at photos of myself in it I look quite old if that makes sense!

I do like city block as it has a slight coverage and since lockdown I’ve decided that’s enough for me (gone are my Estée Lauder double wear days!)

At the moment though I’m using mimtika and I really like it- enough moisture to not dry out over the day but not as greasy and heavy as I found la Roche posay and bioderma.

I also like one of the dermalogica ones but I can’t remember which and they are quite expensive to buy the wrong one.

Yours sincerely,

A ginge who has tried a lot of face sunscreens

Arghhh really? I didn't realise it has a high alcohol content?
I am olive skin toned but thought I knew it all with biore... keep the recommendations coming!

As an aside I am so shocked that so many people bypass spf! X

 

[Honeyp1e]

Clinique city block spf 40 every single day!!

 

[Loulou_23]

I have oily skin and have been using VIchy Idéal Soleil Dry Touch Face Cream in factor 50. Find it’s a little sticky but sinks in pretty quick.
