About 2/3 weeks ago I bought a new moisturiser because my beloved cocoa butter is too heavy for summer and I need SPF. I bought Superdrug's simply pure SPF15 face cream for sensitive skin. I thought seeing as it was for sensitive skin it would be gentle, but it's making me break out really bad! Can anyone recommend a good moisturiser with SPF that won't break me out? I don't want it to be too pricey :(
Cetaphil! It's amazing. My dermatologist recommended it to me, and it has an SPF. So does Purpose Dual Action Treatment Moisturizer! Both are cheap and available at pretty much all drugstores.
I know what you are going through. Same thing happened to me several years ago. I strongly recommend Olay Complete Lotion. Make sure you get the lotion...not the cream. It has SPF and there's an option for sensitive skin. It's really thin and does not break me out at all. I've been using it for the past 6 years!

Have you tried Cliniques Dramatically Different Moisturizing lotion? Although I don't think it has SPF, it works really well.

Thanks, but I really need SPF, and Clinique is pretty expensive :/

Neutrogena has a really good Moisturizing sunscreen and it averages about $9-12 bucks (USD). They come in SPF 15 and 35.
