Good SPF30 moisturisers

SaveSomeMore_2

I normally wear SPF15 products through the winter, but now the sun is beginning to come out I'm looking for something a bit more heavy duty as I burn easily and am covered in moles.

Budget SPF30 products seem to be a bit of a rarity, and the ones I've tried (Ultrasun Face, LRP Anthelios AC and Eucerin Sun Face) have been awful - either greasy or chalky and all leaving a lovely white mask behind!

Does anyone have any recommendations, or failing that know of any good SPF "veils" to boost an SPF15 moisturiser?

I was going to say ultrasun, I use it daily and don't experience greasyness, chalkyness or a white residue.

I think I must have had a bad batch then. I found it really difficult to spread across my face, and it took forever to sink in leaving me white looking for a good 30mins (a bit like rubbing in PVA glue!).

Either way it is a bit too pricey for me for regular use or to try again.

i am really fussy about spf and spent ages looking for the ideal one. I found bioderma spf 50+ photoderm spot. it is wonderful. it absorbs totally and does not look chalky or white. it does not roll off in little rolls.

I use a lot of oils and creams under it and a lot of make up over it and bioderma spf is just brilliant. it is very stable to use and does not irritate the eyes.

Thank you. I've found bioderma stuff a bit hit and miss, but that is like most other French brands too and I haven't tried the moisturiser yet so I will check it out.

I've got the Vichy Mattifying Dry Touch Moisturiser with SPF30. Haven't tried it yet, but bought it in readiness for summer based on the reviews. There's also a SPF50 one, apparently.
It's currently on offer here: http://www.feelunique.com/p/Vichy-Capital-Soleil-Mattifying-Face-Fluid-Dry-Touch-SPF30-50ml

Its spf 50 but Kiehls is great. Dries into the skin very quickly and make up goes on over it no problem. I use it all year round, sorry but spf 15 is not good enough even in winter now.

I've heard the same which is part of the reason I'm looking to "upgrade".

I have heard the Kiehls is very good, but if this is to be a long term thing it is pricier than I'd want to pay (£24.50 for 125ml/£19.60 per 100ml).

Current moisturiser (which my skin gets on with) is Olay Complete SPF15 at only £2.50 (on offer) for 100ml! I think their only SPF30 one (which is difficult to find) is £10 for 75ml/£13.33 per 100ml.

I've since spotted a few cheaper ones which I'm going to sample: Simple Kind to Skin+ £5/50ml, Boots Time Delay Day £7.33/50ml, Eucerin Adjunctive Care £9.25/50ml, Boots Protect & Perfect Sun £10/50ml.

At that price I can give them all a whirl over the next few months and hopefully one will work!

This is absolutely brilliant - I wear it all the time, either on its own or under foundation.

I absolutely love the Elizabeth Arden spf50 but it is so ridiculously priced (not very mse). So now I am using the Vichy one mentioned earlier, spf50 still not exactly cheap but I do recommend it. It absorbs well, leaves skin soft and even helped lessen my acne when I was suffering badly with it. Worth the money for me.

Remember creams like this need to be applied regularly throughout the day to offer spf protection, if you use the above you can only rely on it for a max of two hours if you're applying an adequate amount.
