Available at Shoppers Drug Mart (Canada). I paid $8.00 cdn for a 88ml tube.
Lightweight, absorbs quick, no greasy feel and suitable protection if outside.
It did not irritate my chest area and this is sensitive area for me.
The one drawback is the sunscreen scent common with sunscreens using older chemical filters. I took a point off for the scent.
I am REALLY picky about sunscreen. I will pass this one to my son who is a redhead with seb. derm.

Not available at Shoppers Drug Mart (Canada) anymore. Affordable.
Lightweight and not super heavy. But definitely not as lightweight as EltaMD’s.
However, this product is not dark skin friendly or friendly to those sensitive to fragrances (especially if you’re wearing a mask).
If you apply too much, it will show up as white streaks and flakes/balled up pieces. I am extremely pale, and if it gives me flakes and a pale lilac/white cast, it definitely will for anyone darker than me if you apply too much. Secondly, this fragrance is so strong (to me). I am sensitive to fragrances and combined with the mask I need to wear for direct work, it becomes very strong. I would buy this again if they removed the fragrance and restocked it at Shoppers, as well as adjusting it to 4/5 stars. This is a great option though if you cannot afford EltaMD’s clear variety.
