It's hard to find a good SPF sun cream that doesn't leave your skin feeling oily, clogged or breaking out into spots. But Rochelle Humes has shared the one product that saves her skin in the sun when it comes to both protection from UV rays and spots.

Posting on her Instagram stories while her and husband Marvin Humes and their children holiday in the sunny United Arab Emirates, the 34-year-old This Morning presenter shared a picture of her holding Summer Fridays Shadedrops Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Mineral Milk Sunscreen in her perfectly manicured hand.

She wrote alongside the image: "The only face SPF that doesn't make [my skin] break out, no matter how much I keep reapplying..."

Costing £36 from Cult Beauty and Space NK, the lightweight mineral sunscreen has a serum-like texture and comes rich in vitamins and antioxidants and contains the likes of zinc oxide - for shielding from the sun's UVA and UVB rays - squalane (for hydration), Vitamin E and Ethyl Ferulate.

It's no wonder it seems to give your skin some love with all these beneficial ingredients. And it seems it's not just Rochelle who loves this formula too, as shoppers across the board have left glowing reviews of it, claiming it's the 'perfect face spf'.

One wrote: "Goes on nicely, doesn’t leave a white cast and sits well under make up."

Another skincare lover stated: "Great for daily use in places with not that much sun. No white cast, absorbs very well but does not last long. Does not break me out but can sometimes clog pores. Still is my go to daily spf (most of others break me out)."

A third was even so bold as to say it's the "best mineral SPF" they'd tried and remarked: "This is the best mineral SPF i've tried, leaves skin looking really glowy and healthy while feeling weightless and not too much on my combo skin. One point deducted for the price as if you use the correct amount to keep protected, it does work out fairly expensive cost per use."

While many others praised the sunscreen for its positive results on sensitive skin - "It's the thinnest, sheer, skin-alike sunscreen. I have rosacea and it's not irritating my skin at all! Look great under makeup" - some didn't have quite the same reaction.

One unsatisfied customer said: "Lightweight sunscreen but does appear oily on the skin. It absorbs into the skin like a serum but leave an oily layer on the surface." Another, who gave the product three stars, added: "This formula is lovely - silky, easy to wear, no white cast or pilling. It doesn’t dry out the skin or leave it shiny. Possibly the best SPF I’ve tried. Heartbreakingly, it irritates my eyes very badly, even if it’s nowhere near my eyes. Had to stop wearing it all together."

Elsewhere, if £36 is a tad too steep for your suncare needs but you still want a serum-like sunscreen, beauty lovers are also raving about Skin + Me's Daily Defence Oil-free SPF 50 Sunscreen as well as Hello Sunday's SPF50 The One That's A Serum, which "smooths out my fine lines" and "doesn’t cause breakouts on my skin".
