Sunscreen for those with sensitive skin?

Question

I actually have banana boat for those with sensitive skin, but it irritates me as well. Anyone have any luck with a sunscreen/sunblock for those with sensitive skin? I actually tried neutrogena sensitve last year, and it irritated my face as well. I believe that coppertone used to make one for sensitive skin, but I only bought one bottle and it has since expired and haven't seen it on the shelves. Thank you so much!

Answer 2

Clinique makes a several great sunscreens. They were the first to come out with a floating sunscreen. It floats on the top of your skin rather than being absorbed into your skin, which can cause irritation. They have an eye cream with sunscreen that floats and various kinds for your face and body. I too have sensitivities and this has helped me tremendously. It's not as expensive as you might think...

Answer 3

I also have EXTREMELY sensitive skin, and couldn't use any kind of sunscreen. But now, I'm using the Cetaphil daily moisturizing sunscreen. It is THE best for sensitive skin.

Good Luck! =]

Answer 4

YES! Aveno is definitely the best for sensitive skin, my skin is uber sensitive and that is pretty much the only one that works for me. It comes in ones up to SPF 55 and can be spray on or cream. The second best in neutrogena... which can cause rashes for super sensitive skin, but comes in a great spray on bottle. I work as a lifeguard in the summer, and I find that the Aveeno one has the best sun protection.

Answer 5

Have you ever heard of Kara Vita? They have a skin care line that includes a sunscreen. It's great for sensitive skin.

Answer 6

for your face go to nordstrom and go ask someone about facial sunscreen and they can give you a sample thats lasts about a week..it really works and doesn't irritate the skin.....i have ezcema on my face and it doesn't irritate that nor does it make you break out or burn!
Im not so sure bout the rest of your body.....sorry
It may cost more than the average sunscreen but it really does work great (they have 2 kinds w/o SPF and w/ SPF....)

HOPE THIS HELPS!~ ;)
GOOD LUCK!~ ;)
