I don't know about actual sun protection but I pretty much exclusively buy Asian (namely Japanese) sunscreens because I prefer the thin consistency. They're not greasy, perfect for daily wear, affordable and easy to buy off of Amazon.

That being said... I'd still go with the heavy duty American or Australian sunscreens during all day in the sun, full exposure type of activities. Haven't tried EU ones, but they're probably a nice compromise.
