Fragrance free facial SPF recommendations for sensitive skin?

8 replies

I used to use a La Roche Posay factor 50 one but after cutting it out for 2 weeks I’ve determined that it’s that that’s bringing me out in constant spots!! (I usually have clear skin)

So at the moment I’m not wearing any which is far from ideal. Can anyone recommend a decent, fragrance free SPF?

The la Roche posay one says fragrance free but there is a very clinical smell to it when I apply it so I can only think it’s not, hence my spots!

Purito spf50 is amazing. I get it from yesstyle and delivery takes a while though.

I really rate Biore watery essence. Don't know about fragrance free - smells slightly citrussy to me - but it's lovely on skin, doesn't sting or make me break out. It's Japanese and really delicate

Boots Soltan Sensitive.

@HeyMicky it had fragrance and alcohol so not really for someone with sensitive skin

@cinammonbuns It's been excellent on my sensitive skin, hence the recommendation Confused

@HeyMicky and the title specifically asked for a fragrance free one.....

Anyway op the purito unscented sun is supposed to be great for sensitive skin.

The LRP one is fragrance free as in no added fragrance. The clinical smell is its natural smell. So, it's probably not the fragrance that's affecting your skin.

Avene do an SPF 50 which is unfragranced.

Like pp I use and love the Biore one but it definitely has a light citrussy scent.

I know it’s fragranced but I second the Biore one. I have sensitive, very acne and breakout prone skin and it never causes spots or irritates.
