I also tried the cream type one Soph!
Actually, I have normal-combo skin before and I don't have problems with acne, sensitive or other skin issues. So I bought the cream for daytime moisturizer, it was working quite well for my normal-combo skin in winter season. But that's it, again it's just a basic cream with SPF 15.
The difference between this and the lotion type one just on the moisturize level. If you have normal-cpmbo skin, maybe this enough for your skin BUT in cold season only. For summer, I'd suggest the lotion one.
I didn't get any breakouts from this product either.
I would suggest you to get the samples before buying the products Soph.
And see if it's works for your skin.
And by the way, you don't need any higher SPF thing Soph as long as you don't go out on beach or other outside activity for HOURS. Unless if you do, then find an oil-free sunscreen to protects your skin from sun damage.
But remember that there's no such a thing as a complete total protections from the sun.
Also the more higher SPF , the more greater the risk to get the allergic reactions
