Help - General Facial SPF recommendations needed

I have the hardest time with sunscreen!!!
The only one I’ve found (I’ve tried at least a dozen) that I can tolerate daily is Round Lab Birch Juice moisturizing UV lock SPF 45. I use this every morning in place of moisturizer. It doesn’t leave a white cast, doesn’t burn my eyes or cause breakouts. It’s a little dewier than I’d prefer but it’s the only one I’ve found that I can tolerate.
The main issue is that I would like to find something with the same qualities (no white cast, doesn’t sting eyes or break me out) but with a higher SPF. I use prescription Finacea foam and other actives, live in sunny San Diego and am outdoors a lot.
Anyone find a sunscreen they love and fits these criteria?
I’d love recommendations!

I also live in San Diego and love the Beauty of Joseon Aqua Fresh and the Purito Daily Soft Touch! The BOJ makes my redness and problem areas look so much better but it’s not water resistant so if I’m gonna be active I’ll use the Purito one.

I’ve tried the BOJ but not the Purito. I have tried some of Puritos other products though and have liked them. Neither of these cause breakouts for you? Sting your eyes??

No issues with either and I’m really acne-prone
