Good News: These 16 SPF Moisturisers Allow You to Totally Streamline Your Skincare Routine

Sadly, most of the best hybrid SPFs I've tried cost a little more than a basic face cream. However, this stuff from CeraVe is probably the best affordable option I've tried. Is it totally weightless? No. But it provides really impressive hydration (more than many luxury face creams do) and super-high sun protection. I'll admit it's thicker than I'd like, but for £17, I'm not complaining.

This stuff is probably one of the most loved SPF products out there, and for good reason. It's lightweight like a luxurious moisturiser but has high-level SPF 50+ coverage, too. Formulated with vitamin E, it helps to nourish dry skin and create a great base for makeup, leaving the skin with a gorgeous satin finish that lends itself more to dull, dehydrated complexions than it does to oily ones. If you're after a healthy, dewy finish, you'll want to try this.

If you have oily skin, finding a good SPF moisturiser isn't easy. The filters used in sunscreens are a little greasy by nature and risk leaving skin shiny—not something you want if you're battling excess oil production. This product, however, has a refreshing featherlight water-like texture that sinks into skin in seconds and delivers a shine-free finish. Oh, and of course, it's jam-packed with antioxidants to help boost your complexion as you wear it, and it primes your skin for makeup. is there anything this SPF can't do?

If you want to invest in your skincare, streamline your routine, and already spend £100+ on your day cream, you can get super-luxurious SPF and skincare hybrids like this one from Dr Barbara Sturm. These SPF drops are ultra-lightweight with a serum texture and come infused with skincare ingredients such as vitamin E, cassia extract and beta-glucan, which work to soothe the skin while preventing oxidative stress. They're particularly great if you have sensitive skin and they feel virtually weightless on the skin.

If you're dubious about an SPF/moisturiser hybrid, start with this stuff. Ideal for summer months when skin requires a little less richness from moisturiser, this gel is full to the brim of plumping hydrators like hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5. It's like giving your skin a big slurp of dew-boosting moisture while ensuring you're protecting it against the sun's harmful rays. What more can you ask for?!

Another bougie option, this high-protection moisturising cream from Clé de Peau is potentially one of my favourite skincare finds of the year. The sun protection is next-level (against both UVA and UVB rays), and the texture is beyond rich and luxurious without feeling greasy or buttery. It leaves skin feeling so soft and smooth and makes for the ultimate pre-foundation base. My only niggle is that it does sting the eyes a tiny bit if you sweat, so keep that in mind if you're a sweaty gal like me.

I understand that the reason people feel the need to load up on an abundance of serums in the morning is because they have a number of skin concerns that they want to address. But what if I told you there's a product that tackles it all with equal effect? This SPF from La Roche-Posay (which, by the way, produces some of the best sunscreens around), is specially formulated to reduce the appearance of dark spots (hyperpigmentation) and fine lines while it works. Plus, it's rich enough to use as a daily moisturiser if your skin is particularly dry.

Yes, this product is a broad-spectrum SPF. However, the reason I say it's best for added protection is that I would personally apply an SPF on top of it on particularly sunny days because this is, first and foremost, a moisturiser, and using half a teaspoon of it on your face would simply be too much. Instead, I'd recommend using this as a daily moisturiser and, 20 minutes before you leave the house, applying another lightweight SPF on top. Ideal for those with dull, dry skin, Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF 30 will give skin a next-level glowing plump and help supercharge the protection of any SPF you apply on top.

This is, without a doubt, my favourite facial SPF of the past year, and it's so moisturising that it's often the only product I use in the morning. The formula has a sheer tint with a luminous finish that makes your skin look like your own, but healthier and glowier—so I tend to skip foundation altogether when I'm using it. The entireBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing UK team are obsessed with it.

I've lost count of the number of friends I've gotten onto this product. It is, without debate, a facial moisturiser first. It leaves skin juicy and glowing (thanks to red-algae extract and vitamin C) while delivering what is basically the highest level of sun protection money can buy. If you only want to use one product in the morning after cleansing, make it this stuff, whatever your skin type.

I fell in love with this Korean SPF years ago and only recently rediscovered it. Trust me when I say it's lightweight—almost invisible, in fact. However, with soothing aloe extract, sacha inchi oil, and lotus-flower water to soften skin, it just leaves your skin looking and feeling like its very best self. If you like your moisturiser to leave your skin feeling tacky, this one isn't for you. However, if you want your skincare to be traceless, add this to your basket.

My latest moisturising SPF discovery is this stuff from E.l.f. It has a hint of sheer peach shimmer which adds instant luminosity to all skin tones to give your complexion a healthy, lit-from-within kind of glow. It looks great worn alone, or as a primer underneath makeup to give your complexion products extra glow. I love it.

Ageing is a beautiful thing, but as we grow older it's only natural that our skin starts to lose its natural plumpness as our collagen levels drop and elasticity dwindles. This moisturiser tackles that lack of firmness by delivering a replumping dose of macro and micro hyaluronic acid to restore a little juiciness to the skin. The fact that it also contains SPF50 to protect skin from the sun's rays is just an added bonus for this ultra-hydrating day cream.

If there's a skincare brand every beauty editor has something good to say about, it's Medik8. Sensible, efficacious products that do the job and then some, the brand's cult following is well earned. This gem of an SPF moisturiser is imbued with high levels of SPF, as well as hydrating squalane and hyaluronic acid. Sorted.

SPF isn't something we'd suggest skimping on, so, when a brilliant, sub-£20 formula comes a-knocking, we're listening. Created by the clever clogs over at Byoma HQ, this gel moisturiser is also an SPF30, leaving skin feeling bouncy and smooth, without the white cast others can leave behind.

Beauty editors rave about Lumene, and for good reason! This lightweight moisturiser has added vitamin c so it boost glow while protecting your skin.
