Looking for alternatives

Currently I'm looking to replace my PCA Sunscreen + Nutrient Toner for something more economically friendly. These were given to me by my sister, who gets a discount, to try out. I really love them, but I'm not loving the price, especially if longevity is my goal. They've definitely helped with my redness/oil but I also wish they did a touch more. Suggestions are welcome! I'm partial to less ingredients, but I'm not fussy as long as it's not all filler. So far I've found the following replacements but haven't tried them and would love thoughts on narrowing down!

Replacement for Sunscreen:

CeraVe Tinted Sunscreen with SPF 30 | Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen With Zinc Oxide & Titanium Dioxide | Sheer Tint for Healthy Glow | 1.7 Fluid Ounce for ($13.97)

Cetaphil Sheer 100% Mineral Liquid Sunscreen for Face With Zinc Oxide Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Formulated for Sensitive Skin, Unscented, 1.7 Fl Oz (for $7.49)

Ingredient wise CeraVe seems to have more but a lot of the extra is ceramides and the like. The Cetaphil doesn't have a tinted one, so there's that and since I have a lot of redness/rosatia I'm hesitant, even if it's only a small loss.

Replacement for Toner:

Advanced Clinicals Vitamin C Glow Facial Mist Toner for Face W/ Rosewater, Ferulic Acid, & Peptides. Vitamin C Antioxidant Moisturizer Face Mist Provides Instant Skin Hydration, Non-Greasy, 8 Fl Oz (for $9.99)

Clear Collective Balancing Capsule Toner from Hero Cosmetics - Daily Facial Toner for All Skin Types, Hydrating Serum for Redness Relief and Dry Skin, Fragrance and Paraben Free (4.39 fl oz) (for $10.39)

With both of these you can save with subscribe and save on Amazon, but the Advanced Clinical is twice as much for half the price. If anyone has any experience with these + redness/oily skin, please let me know!

In general I also want to think about aging issues so-hopefully that helps!
