What Mumsnet users say about Eucerin Sun Kids Sensitive Protect Gel-Cream SPF50+

We invited 72 Mumsnet users to try Eucerin Sun Kids Sensitive Protect Sun Gel-Cream SPF50+ with their children. Here’s what they thought:

[...] Both me and my eldest two children have incredibly sensitive dry skin and eczema. I have never found a suncream that I am not allergic to until I used this one. I put some on myself at the same time as I put it on my children and I couldn’t believe that I had no reaction to it. I can’t even count the number of different creams I’ve tried over the years including some very expensive supposedly hypoallergenic ones. My children also had no adverse reaction to it. Suncream usually worsens their eczema [...]

[...] we were very impressed. It was smooth and easy to apply with none of the usual stickiness you get with suncreams. My daughter loved how easy it went on and that she didn't feel tacky afterwards. The smell was not overpowering either. All in all, a big thumbs up. We would definitely buy and recommend it to others, if it was not an extortionate price. The only downside was that the packaging was not particularly appealing to kids, but that's a minor detail.

- NonstopMam

[...] It had a nice rich texture which easily absorbed into my skin. It had a very mild scent. The bottle had a flip open cap so it was easy to dispense the gel/cream. My son has dry sensitive skin and this product was very hydrating and it did not sting. It even calmed down inflamed areas. I would definitely recommend it to other parents with kids [who] have dry sensitive skin. It's a good size and will last a while.

- Terminatrix

[...] My favourite thing about this cream was the ease of applying - it absorbed without being sticky, greasy or leaving a white cast. With the recent heatwave, I apply suncream to my daughter every day before school which she doesn’t enjoy and this was very easy to apply which [is] brilliant as we never have much time [...]

[...] I have to say I’m really impressed with it. My daughter has very sensitive skin and most suncreams, especially the cheaper brands, tend to cause a flare-up. We’ve tried so many different ones over the years, but this one really seems to suit her skin. The texture of the cream is light and not greasy at all, which I really liked, and it didn’t have an overpowering scent. It was easy to apply and absorbed well without leaving a sticky residue. It also didn’t stain her clothes, which is a bonus [...]
