should know that wearing SPF on your face every day is a must for protecting your skin against not only sun damage but also signs of premature ageing, but it can be tricky to find one that
ticks all the boxes: offers a high level of protection, doesn't feel greasy, isn't visible on the skin, and isn't so expensive that you can't afford to use it every day.
Luckily, we think we've found just the one. Proving that beauty brands don’t always get it right the first time, high street heroes The Ordinary scrapped its existing facial sunscreen
following customer feedback about thick texture and white colour and went back to the drawing board – and this new product, UV Filters SPF 45 Serum, priced at £15.80 from The Ordinary's
website and Boots, is the result. Gloriously fluid and quickly absorbed, it gives glow without any greasy sensation and doesn’t clog pores, making it ideal for complexions that lean more
towards combination or oily. READ MORE: I TRIED THREE SPFS WITH TINTED COVERAGE TO RIVAL FOUNDATIONS, ONE COVERED MY PIGMENTATION READ MORE: 'THIS TINTED MOISTURISER BLEW ME AWAY WITH
HOW GOOD IT IS – MY SKIN FEELS INCREDIBLE’ Despite only just hitting shelves, this SPF has already amassed dozens of five star reviews from people who has already tried, both those that were
gifted it by The Ordinary in return for their honest review, and those who bought it themselves. "I love this sunscreen!" one review reads. "It’s not messy, it blends in so
easily and effortlessly. It leaves the skin moisturised and not greasy. It went easily with my moisturiser so no pilling. It’s truly that good!" "I love The Ordinary products and
this is sunscreen serum is lightweight, non-greasy and perfect under make-up!" another fan wrote. "Leaves my skin glowing while providing strong SPF 45 protection. A new must-have
in my skincare routine!" A third review reads: "This was my first time trying a serum-style sunscreen, and I was honestly surprised by how well it worked. The texture is super
lightweight and easy to apply, and it didn’t feel greasy at all. It absorbed quickly and sat well under make-up. On my tan skin, there was a very slight cast at first, but it mostly blended
out after a few minutes. The scent is there, but not overpowering. Overall, a solid daily SPF that feels more like skincare than sunscreen." Some, however, remarked how they wished The
Ordinary had made a mineral sunscreen instead. Mineral formulas can be better for those with sensitive skin or easily irritated eyes, but can leave be thicker and more visible on the skin,
especially on dark tones. If you're looking for a great recommendation for a mineral facial SPF, our head of shopping Zoe loves Lancaster Sun Beauty Sensitive Skin Mineral Face Cream
SPF50, £27, Ultra Violette Future Fluid SPF 50+ Superlight Mineral Skinscreen, £38, and Kate Somerville HydraKate Illuminating SPF 50+ Drops, £39. Our beauty editor Laura has also tried The
Ordinary UV Filters SPF 45 Serum out, and says, "I've been really impressed by this new formula, especially given the price. It doesn't leave a white tinge on the skin at all,
and makes skin feel soft and smooth but not greasy, and with a fairly matte yet healthy looking finish. This would be great as both a 'holiday' sun cream and an everyday one,
whatever the weather." Article continues below And if you're looking for one of the best tinted SPFs, we've selected our tried-and-tested favourites here. JOIN OUR SHOPPING
