A second read: "I must say, the texture of this sunscreen is absolutely amazing! What's more, it is one of the few sunscreens that doesn't leave an oily shine on your face.

Someone else remarked: "One of the best SPF products I have ever used. Not greasy and leaves a beautiful glow to the skin. It doesn't cause my skin to breakout personally and doesn't leave a white cast. An essential!" One shopper left a three-star review after finding it was not suitable for their skin type, writing: "Was an ok product. It does moisturise whiles it protects your skin. But it cause my skin to break out on my face. So I had to use it as a body sunscreen." However, someone else said in a five-star review: "I'm usually sceptical about sunscreens since I have a delicate skin and break out easily. This one is just perfect. Work it in lightly and leaves you with a dewy finish." Take advantage of the 35 percent discount on the before Prime Day ends at midnight.

'I swapped my moisturiser for a £12 Korean sunscreen and my skin is much better'
This SPF50+ from Korean skincare brand Beauty of Joseon, which is currently going viral, has become a new staple in my summer morning routine, says our writer Having heard all about the wonders of Korean skincare products, renowned for their use of ingredients that give a radiant glow, I recently made a switch in my routine. I swapped in the viral Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics SPF 50+, which is currently on sale at LookFantastic, reduced to £12.40 from £15.50 – and it's completely taken over as my daily moisturiser. Its lightweight, non-greasy formula has an SPF 50+, offering super-high protection against sun damage and premature ageing. The first thing you'll notice is that it doesn't feel like sunscreen at all, instead leaving your skin feeling hydrated with a subtle healthy glow. I found that my skin felt so quenched that I didn't need to use a separate moisturiser, and it also sits really well underneath make-up, which can be a challenge to find with sunscreens. The only drawback I find is that the bottle isn't massive, so it may run out quickly, but it's a handy size to carry around. Supreme Screen SPF 50+ Hydrating SKINSCREEN by Australian brand Ultra Violette is another popular facial sunscreen choice. This one is currently discounted at Boots, down to £27.20 from £34. Lookfantastic has also slashed 20% off La Roche-Posay Anthelios Suncream SPF50+, which is fragrance-free and designed for sensitive skin types. Usually retailing at £20, it's now down to £16, reports the Liverpool Echo. Yet it's the affordability and simplicity of the Beauty of Joseon SPF that clinches it as my top pick. Rice water, which this product contains, is known for its skin-brightening properties and its ability to address pigmentation and uneven skin tone. After using it for a couple of weeks, I've not seen a dramatic change in my skin's overall tone, but it certainly feels nourished and hydrated post-application. This viral Korean SPF has also collected an impressive average of 4.77 out of five stars on Lookfantastic's website. A happy customer commented: " This is truly the best SPF I have used. It stayed great under make-up, didn't make me super oily. Left me looking healthy and glowy with no residue feeling." Another remarked: "I love this sun cream! It's so lightweight and skin is left looking dewy - not greasy. No white cast either so a big plus!" A third person wrote: "On my 100th tube and will never stop repurchasing. LF offer was beyond fantastic!" – clearly, it's become a firm favourite in many skincare routines However, as someone with normal to oily skin, I recognise that those with dry skin might not find it sufficiently moisturising. One reviewer noted: "It's very light and watery. I need another moisturiser under it because it's not thick enough for my dry skin." For those seeking extra hydration, perhaps Ultra Violette's hydrating option would be more appropriate.
