any better sunscreen recommendations?

I want something that's more effective than my current one. I'll take any recs even if its regarding to wether I should use a physical or a mineral.

thanks

this is more of my wintertime routine as my skin is combination and the dry areas tend to become pretty dry but mostly extremely sensitive. my summer routine tends to be less moisturising. In the mornings I don't always use micellar water but if I feel I need to I use Bioderma Sensibio Cleansing Micellar Water. I adore my niacinamide serum, which I use before my moisturiser, I don't use it every day just if I think my skin needs a nourishing boost. aside from that my morning routine is pretty simple. However, my nighttime skincare tends to be more complicated. I like to structure which days I use my products as a lot of them have quite harsh ingredients. My Once-a-week PM products I alternate nights as follows; night 1: my everyday PM routine night 2: the cleansing balm, glycolic acid and hyaluronic then moisturise night 3: my everyday PM routine night 4: my everyday PM routine night 5: cleansing balm, retinol, hyaluronic, moisturise night 6: my everyday PM routine night 7: my everyday PM routine Following on from, that I switch to using either the glycolic acid or the bha aha solution, not both it just depends on if I think my skin can handle the aha bha that day. As for the acnecide cream I just use that on days I feel I need it and I'm not putting any other harsh products on my skin to avoid irritation. Aside from that, I use the mask before bed every Sunday (night 7), if using that mask I will only cleanse before and then use it, I don't add hyaluronic acid (as the mask contains plenty of it) or moisturiser on top unless I feel I need to.

If you haven't used EltaMD sunscreen (the 46SPF one is my favorite) then get on that! It is the best I have ever used--and I try a lot. I am a redhead and need to. It has divine moisture and acids as well so it makes for a brilliant day cream. I do like La Roche-Posay, as well if you don't want to spend more money. Black Girl Matte is good and half the price, but EltaMD is my very favorite. Hope that helps!
