I did not like this sunscreen much at all. I found it very heavy, thick, greasy. It didn't work well under makeup and it left my skin so shiny and I would be an oil slick within a few hours, not normal for my skintype. It leaves a very white cast on my face so I can't just pop it on and rush out the door otherwise I look like casper. I like that it provides both good UVA and UVB protection but that's about it. I can see this being heavy even for dry skintypes. I just use it for my neck now.

This is my favourite SS. I have very sensitive breakout-prone skin so it's hard to find ones that work for me, but this one does!

The melt-in cream formula is designed to be moisturising, easy to apply and water resistant. It spreads on my face really nicely and whilst it does feel moisturising, it's not in a greasy or oily sort of way. I have normal/combo skin and the amount of hydration it provides is perfect for me. They do say this is meant for normal-dry skintypes and I agree, I don't think it'd be suitable for oily skintypes.

Like I mentioned before I have very sensitive skin and this does not irritate my skin or break me out! Really happy about that. It does leave a white cast on my skin but I'm not too fussed tbh. Makes a nice base under makeup and is relatively inexpensive (about £12 for 50ml). I was going to purchase the SPF 50 version but noticed that version contains alcohol denat. whereas the SPF 30 version does not, so I will stick with this. :)
