Sensitive eyes - sunscreen

9 replies

I've just started tretotonin with Dermatica. I've ordered their sunscreen but it's making my sensitive eyes sting. I have particularly sensitive eyes - most mascaras make my eyes sting. Can anyone recommend a decent sunscreen that might not hurt my eyes please. Ideally 50 spf. I spoke to dermatica first and they weren't able to suggest any others.

I have sensitive eyes but I use soltan 50 and avoid putting it near my eyes, that reminds me must do my eye drop.

The instructions said to put it on my eyelids. Can I avoid doing that? Wasn't sure if I had to put it absolutely everywhere like it said because of the tretotonin

I like ultra violette, can put it over my eyelids too.

My skin can be sensitive at times, this one works for me (it's only spf 30 though):

Any skin care with SPF affects my eyes but I tried a sample of La Roche-Posay Anthelios (not sure which one) and did not have any reaction. I keep meaning to buy! I presume it was a face specific one, and was sweat proof as was given at a sporting event. It was amazing!

I have this one and really like it.
Never used it on my eye lids (have never thought to!!), but I have sensitive eyes (not as much as yours) and never have any issues.

There is some ingredient that really stings my eyes in many suncream. I think it's in mineral based ones.

Paulas choice things don't seem to . The one I use is chemical based.
