Sun cream for face & eczema prone skin

Help! I have to use prescribed steroid cream every two days around my mouth or I get an eczema flare up. I find on holiday and in the summer I can get swollen & itchy around my eyes from where my sunglasses meet my cheeks. I'm only allergic to nickel but 'highly sensitive' to loads of other things according to the dermatologist. I can't work out if it's suncream that contributes to the reaction.

Want to avoid being itchy and swollen (and looking like I've been in a prize fight) but also conscious that my nose in particular is getting redder with age and I need to be sun safe. Can anyone advise on a suitable sun cream for my super sensitive face? Thank you Smile

Check out altruistic on amazon, I've just ordered some face fluid after burning my face in the easter sunshine. Its developed by dermatologists so I'm hoping it's good

My son and I have eczema and can recommend altruist.

I use Ultrasun. I have eczema, sensitive skin, pomphlox, multiple allergies. It's the only one my skin likes.

I use thank you farmer spf on my face (where my eczema is worst) and I tolerate it very well. I’m dark skinned and it doesn’t leave me looking grey.

I have sensitive skin and get eczema (not on face though) but this works for me:
