The Aldi ‘light touch’ face sunscreen is not great. After applying it to my inner elbow twice to test for allergy I used it on my face. There’s no strong perfume, a faint initial sting, a white cast that fades, but it’s extremely greasy and shiny. Like an oil slick.
I’ll use it in an emergency rather than have no sunscreen but that level of oiliness definitely looks weird. It’s a shame because the price is very good and it hasn’t given me a reaction (yet).

I have been astounded to find that a Japanese sunscreen far outstrips just about any AU one I’ve found. Unfortunately I only bought enough to use on my face, but it sinks in beautifully, no residue, doesn’t sting my eyes after being in water and while my shoulders and chest got HELLA burnt from using an AU sunscreen, my face remained fine. Wish I had enough to lather my whole body, I chose to protect my face!

Yeah, face sunscreen is definitely more expensive and more so if it’s a special brand. I’ve heard good things about Japanese sunscreen
