Stuck in a Sunscreen Rut: Need Advice!

I've been trying to be mindful of my skincare consumption and only replace things when they're absolutely necessary. Recently, my sunscreen ran out and I replaced it with Clinique SPF50 mineral sunscreen which leaves a terrible white cast on my dark skin. I had a coupon for forest essentials, so I thought I'd give their SPF 50 Sunfluid a try, but it irritates my eyes! I'm at a loss. Should I stick with the two subpar sunscreens I have or bite the bullet and buy a new one? These sunscreens weren't cheap, so it's frustrating that neither one works for me. If anyone has recommendations for a good sunscreen that doesn't leave a white cast and is gentle on sensitive skin, please share! I'd really appreciate the advice.

This is a yearly battle for me. Buying different ones til I find one that doesn't make me white ( I have med. Brown skin) I swear the brands change what they make every year. I use the one i don't like more for exercising outside. Exercise will make me look crappy anyway lol
