Best sensitive sun cream

6 replies

Hi

My daughter seems to react to a lot of sun creams. We have had success with Sunsense in previous years but she has been having a reaction on her face this year. Can anyone recommend a sun cream for super sensitive skin?

Also, is it worth giving her Piriton or something to try and avoid a reaction?

Thanks

Have you tried Piz Buin sensitive? Know a friend with mega sensitive and easily burnt skin and that is what they always used. Maybe try a mineral block instead of a traditional sun cream?

Ultrasun is good. Expensive but it’s an all day one.

I use the Child's Farm baby one, factor 50. It feels a bit sticky and claggy when first put on but after 5 mins or so the stickiness is gone. I've got very sensitive eczema prone skin and it hasn't caused any flare ups at all.

Interested in this thread?

La Roche Posay, the one you can spray on and not rub in. Good for those that don't like the feeling of product on their skin too. Expensive but often on offer online etc. Lush used to do a powder which was great but I can't find it online. Anyone else know this one?

My daughter too! It turned out she was affected by lanolin in the others!

We tried coppertone water babies and has used it every since.....she’s 16 now!

Good luckXx

Another vote for La Roche Posay.
