There are a few brands that claim to be anti allergy, can anyone recommend a good one please?

I use Ultrasun on my DS who gets terrible prickly heat with normal lotion. Not cheap but worth it. Think P20 is good too though only used it once or twice on him so not fully tested yet!

My top 3 brands for this (in this order) are:

Sunsense (very, very good - have used on myself and Dcs in 40+ degree heat, nobody got prickly heat (we would have with lots of brands) or burnt)

La Roche Posay (also v good and no probs with prickly heat, but I don't find that it sinks in as well as Sunsense, although it is paraben free if that's a plus for you)

Ultrasun (good, no burning, but my DC with very sensitive skin has on occasion still had a bit of a rash with this)

I find creams better than sprays for avoiding rashes, whatever the brand.

I usually really suffer with it on my chest and upper arms, but this year used ultrasun and only had the tiniest bit, and not even itchy. Really recommend it. I had the factor 30 sensitive.
