Normal vs kids suncream - what's the difference?

Options
I was given a sample of the normal 30 factor ambre solaire whick went on easily, wasn't horribly thick and it didn't make me allergic so I'm wanting to use it for my hols in a couple of weeks.
Boots - £13 for the adult version, bodycare £5 for the kids version.
Is the kids one likely to be really thick and gloopy, as that's what i'm trying to avoid.
(I need to be careful to stick to ones I know work for me as I have sensitive skin and some of them make me go spotty.)
All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    A children's one might have a different texture so it stays on longer, or might be non-scented so it doesn't sting the eyes? Can you insert a link to the ones you mentioned? There's so many sunscreens to choose from. I think I would stick to the one you know is ok for you.
