sunblock reccomendations

guys i have combination skin (it can be oily on the T zone but a bit dry on lower cheeks or around mouth) with PIE scars on my cheeks and occasional whiteheads and blackheads. Normally ive been using jenpharms 100 spf sunscreen for the past year and it does suit me well but i want another option to compare it to and to figure it out if it's causing me clogged pores or whiteheads. The thing is i want a sunblock which is cheap and in large quantity bcs i cant go and buy a new bottle every few weeks. And jenpharm's quantity and price is rlly good so if yall can pls reccomend some good non comodegenic, cheap but large quantity sunblocks, itd be so helpful. The price limit is under 1800pkr

so guys ive had acne since i was 10 yrs old and now im 16 (and a female). my breakouts have decreased a lot since i got 2 sessions of CO2 laser last year, stabilised my skincare routine and started taking polybion z tablets. i have been using adaplene 0.1 for a year but recently i started skinoren 20% (azaelic acid) and even though i incorporated it very slowly, my skin did flare up. i started getting whiteheads a lot so i stopped like all actives for a week. i stopped adpalene and AA and only used my gentle cleanser (dove mousse smth), and pond's ceramide pro light moisturizer which i absolutely love and using it for a week made it clear that it wasnt causing me breakouts since the pimples that i did have werent clustered together and nor were they closed comedones. I want to start AA and adaplene again from next week without damaging my skin barrier. Also willing to take more advice regarding how to fade my PIE scars.

*** also im sorry if the pics arent too clear. im a hijabi so i had to try my best to make sure my hair isnt visible.
