Budget Friendly Sunscreens for the summer

[raphaela12]

With summer around the corner, what's the best budget friendly sunscreen for combination skin with oily/acne prone t-zones, and some redness on cheeks/nose?

In the winter I use Olay Complete Daily Moisturizing Face Lotion, with Vitamins E, Vitamin B3, Niacinamide & Vitamin C. But the problem with that is it's only SPF 15.

I've been doing some research and I think the best bet for my skin type is CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30. Trying to keep it as budget friendly as possible as that Olay Sunscreen is $11 for 120mls. Can't beat it for the price.

@raphaela12, I'm on the hunt for a sunscreen myself, specifically a mineral one that also serves as a moisturizer, but haven't found it yet.

I haven't tried it yet, but I have the Good Molecules Sheer Mineral Sunscreen, SPF 30.  It's $12 USD, and I think you can get it in Canada, because GM is available at a few retailers, but I don't know the exact cost.

For redness, I'll use Dr. Jart+ Mini Cicapair™ Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment 0.5 oz/ 15 mL on specific areas.  Not a lower cost product, but a little goes a long way and since I'm only using it as a color corrector, it lasts awhile.

ETA: Coppertone Pure & Simple is another.  Depending on where you get it from, runs about 10-12 USD.  I use this currently for my face, don't love it (again, wish it was more moisturizing), but it does the job.

@danielledanielle Oh I'll have to check it out, Good Molecules ships to Canada from their online store so I'll have to check out their stuff. I see lots of other things on their site that are very affordable as well.
